Whether you run your own business from home or from an office building, you should consider investing in executive office furniture. Pick the right pieces and your office will look very impressive to your clients and co-workers!
Now, before you start shopping for furniture, you need to measure your entire office, including the walls and ceiling. Make a list of everything you need, including a desk, chairs, cabinets, corner sofas, and maybe even a conference table if the room is big enough. Rank everything in order of importance and shop accordingly.
Executive furniture is usually more expensive than regular office furniture, due to the superior quality and materials. Don’t be afraid to spend more on higher quality as it will have a good impact on your business performance. You and your co-workers will find it easier to work in an environment packed with executive office furniture. It will also make your office look more attractive to your clients.
There are tons of styles, colors, and sizes you can choose from to give your office the “executive” look. Most people choose contemporary styles, although there are also traditional designs. Whatever your taste, you should be able to find the right pieces for your office.
Traditional executive furniture is known for its clean lines and wood finishes. If you can’t afford vintage pieces but still want a traditional look, you’ll be glad to know that some companies make modern furniture inspired by vintage designs.
Contemporary furniture is usually made of stainless steel or glass. There are also modular pieces that you can configure any way you see fit. Going with modular will give you more flexibility with your arrangements. Whatever you decide, make sure all the pieces fit together. Choose an overall theme, be it contemporary or traditional, and shop for matching pieces accordingly.
Since modern furniture is designed to be ergonomic, you don’t have to worry as much about comfort. As long as you buy good quality from a trusted manufacturer, you can trust that your chairs and sofas will be comfortable. Ergonomic computer chairs come in a variety of styles, including neutral posture, high back, mid back, extra high back, low back, etc.
Speaking of chairs and sofas, leather is the highest quality fabric available. If you can afford it, invest in high-quality leather. Other good options include vinyl, microfiber, soft pillow, and mesh. Keep in mind that executive chairs are larger than basic task chairs, so make sure you have room for at least one executive chair and desk in your office.
