Whether it be a small room in your house or a tight squeeze in an office environment, space costs money and money is precious. So, if you have the conundrum of a small space to work with, what are your best options when it comes to office furniture?
Floor space
First and foremost, when we talk about small office spaces, we are typically talking about floor space, so the main factor here is, of course, the width and depth of your workstation or table. Thus, you’ll probably want to go for the industries ‘small’ size desk, which we stock in many options and is 800mm wide by 600mm in depth.
Room height
The height of the average room in the UK is between 2100mm to 2400mm, which, when it comes to space, is not regularly the main concern of a small room – so make the height of the room your advantage for your small room.
