Every single day many of us make their way to the office to earn an income to be able to keep up with the exigencies of life. Being a space where we tend to spend long hours of our day, the ambience around us will have its toll on our mood, motivation and happiness within our workplace. Therefore, making sure that our environment is visibly happy is important, even when it comes to coworking spaces. This blog is meant to give you an insight into how  you can turn your office into a happy space.

Introduce the colour green

Whether through the use of plants or by painting a wall, introducing the colour green in an office space is known to increase happiness and boost creativity.

Provide a space for socialising

Every office space should have a space where people can mingle and socialise. This space will help in order to serve as a mini-break to recharge their minds and refocus their energies. This can be done by introducing an outdoor space, such as a terrace or a balcony or bean bag areas, away from desk spaces.

Supply tea and coffee

When tiredness hits, some people like to recharge their brains by brewing themselves a nice cup of coffee or tea. Having a well-equipped kitchen with these simple products can help people feel more at home and comfortable in the office. 

Create an office playlist

While a lot of the time, having complete silence is bliss, other times it can make people feel completely lonely. However, music tends to be an awesome companion and a nice way to hide that constant keyboard tapping and long periods of silence. Creating an office playlist can also help people feel more connected as they listen to the same kind of music, together.

Create a modern and  comfortable office layout

Many people spend long hours at the office, and the last thing they want is for it to make them feel claustrophobic. Applying a clean desk policy and dividing desks in such a way that leaves space for movement would help people feel freer in their space of work and think.

Of course, the above does not simply apply to office spaces rented out by big companies, but also to coworking spaces that offer a home to several small, new or upcoming businesses at once.
