A staff kitchen or breakaway area gives people a reason to step away from their desks. Start with a few sturdy tables and comfortable chairs. <\/span>Keep the space close to the main floor, with good light and easy cleaning.<\/p>

Choose seating that is simple to move, so the area can host a quick meeting or a lunch. Werkplek in Kempton Park can help you match the furniture to your team size.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Light matters in an office. Place desks so people face the windows or sit side on, which cuts glare on screens. Pale walls and open shelving help daylight travel further into the room.<\/p>

Where windows are few, use lamps with warm bulbs and keep paths clear. A glass and timber desk lamp on each desk makes long afternoons easier on the eyes.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Storage works best when it sits close to the people who use it. Pedestals under desks hold daily files, while tall cabinets along a wall keep archives out of sight. Label each drawer clearly and review the contents every year. A tidy storage plan saves time and keeps your desks free for real work.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A comfortable chair makes a long day easier. Look for adjustable seat height, firm lumbar support and a seat depth that suits your legs. Try the chair for a few minutes before you buy. At our Kempton Park store you can sit in several models and compare them side by side.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
