Ergonomics Furniture

When considering ergonomics, think about everything that a user must interface with so that they could complete their daily tasks. The desk size, space, height and depth all forms part of the overall user experience. Office chair is the thing that requires most consideration. Chairs should support the body,activity, promote movement and enable performance whilst ensuring that no harm is being caused. Your office furniture is the first and important step that can make or break a good working environment.

Workspace Lighting

Sufficient lighting could light up our mood and we unaffectedly feel positive and energetic while at work. Most reports into the effects of lighting agree that natural light is best. So wherever possible, in your working environment, natural light should be maximised. Lifting blinds once the sun has moved, positioning desks close to windows or furnishing rooms with mirrors to reflect natural light are all ways to increase the amount of natural light flowing through an office. If you're lucky to stay beside a french window in your office.

While in some offices, natural light is not as readily available and the work space must rely on artificial light. Serious consideration should be given to the type of artificial light provided. Some studies shows that outdoor natural lights are more healthy and estimate people in good conditions. Anyway, lighting is absolutely worth consideration when creating the right working environments.
