Interior design predictions for 2020

-



In 2018 and 2019 commercial interior design was all about the vintage-industrial and corporate kindergarten concepts. These standout concepts were widely applied to just about any type of commercial interior. We featured many, many projects that fit either one of these descriptions, sometimes they were a combination of both. We expect that this will quickly change, how many more eclectically designed tech companies do we need out there? Want to know Dresamspace Interior Design predictions of 2020?

FEEL AT HOME…WHILE AT WORK


There was something quite noticeable about these spaces, something that we think will live on and inform the next big movement; the use of residential-like furniture and finishes here and there added an element of being comfy-cozy in the workplace.


INTER-OFFICE INTRA-OFFICE




We think the Inter-Business/Intra-Business collaboration will become more structured. Structured? Well, yeah, hear us out. Businesses will continue to share building space, but we’ll see slightly larger companies taking this approach AND each business will have dedicated areas that are specifically designed to incorporate their brand message and to suite their individual requirements. Good-bye generically-designed-shared-office, hello distinctive-business-within-a-collaborative-shared-environment.

STRUCTURE RESURGENCE


WE THINK WE’LL SEE THE RETURN OF THE DEDICATED OFFICE SPACE, BUT IT WILL BE SMALLER, MORE TRANSPARENT, AND RECONFIGURABLE. SOMETHING LIKE CLIVE WILKINSON ARCHITECTS DESIGNED FOR PALLOTA TEAMWORK



KEEP IT QUIET, KEEP IT QUIET


The design of products for acoustic control has undergone some serious development recently. There are actually options now – finally. Acoustical control is an increasingly important factor for the success of our modern interiors particularly those with high ceilings, hard surfaces, open layouts, and specific privacy requirements. For the Hatch team, consideration of acoustics will become a foundational aspect of the projects we design.


JUST LIKE THE HOOD PENDANT BY FORM US WITH LOVE, ACOUSTIC PRODUCTS WILL GET INCREASINGLY MULTI-FUNCTIONAL IN 2019.


Well only the arrival of 2020 will reveal whether our predictions are accurate, but what do you think? Do you have any other predictions we should add to our list or watch out for? Let us know via our Facebook or Linkedin pages!

Inspiring Office Meeting Rooms Design

Creating a pleasant meeting environment and having an office design that makes everyone feel comfortable has a lot to do with the way a meeting goes and how it is perceived. Some offices have decided to give a playful twist to this particular area and the designs they now feature are some of the most inspiring you can find. The informal quick meeting We know that a high table with high chairs encourages a short meeting. One can also leave out the chairs and just stand up, which quite clearly indicates that it is only going to be a quick chat. One can certainly drink a cup of coffee or iced water while chatting. Perhaps a bit loosely and informally about a coming project, relaxed, one leans slightly over the table or in a Activity-based Working style which may even be located in an open-plan room where others are working at the same time. Meeting room or Modern Workplace? A round table in the meeting room will encourage a discussion. The round table ...

5 Office Lounge area ideas that work

If the concept of an office lounge area makes you shudder, thinking of all the work that could be piling up as employees socialize, relax! Lounge areas in the modern office are more about giving your employees the variety and choice in which to do their best work than any real lounging. Workstyle The school of thought for years was that employees needed a quiet, distraction free, and most often, separate workspace to work effectively. While it’s true that too much distraction and lack of privacy can be a barrier, employees work most effectively in a number of ways depending on their role, their individual preferences, and even their industry. In fact, that same Gensler study found that the best workplaces “provide a balanced environment that supports both collaboration and focus effectively.” What’s more, team building and collaboration are some of the highest ranked aspects in the office, ahead of individual values. In short, the 9 to 5 desk scenario can be stiflin...

Merging Tech and Design for Workplace Wellness

Long gone are the days when employees sit all day in inflexible workspaces, adjusting themselves - and their needs -  to the physical conditions of the workplace. The new model for the workplace no longer fits employees into a predesigned worksite but, using technology, redesigns the worksite to fit the needs of the employee. Just like our smartphones and smartwatches, our workplaces are being reinvented to be just as smart. Smart buildings leverage big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and intelligent Building Management Systems (iBMS) to assess the physical conditions of the workplace and adjust them to meet employee needs. These tech systems facilitate and improve employee wellbeing and performance by modifying objects connected to the internet, such as light bulbs, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, office chairs and desks, coffee machines, and even whole office spaces. Smart technology collects data from these objects and generates automated and ...
