Workstation Ideas from COMMERCIAL DESIGN CONTROL

At COMMERCIAL DESIGN CONTROL we have created thousands of workstations.
Some large, some medium, and some very small.  Each one designed to suit the user.  So believe me, we have seen and heard it all! 

If you are looking or thinking about upgrading your existing workspace, here are some things to consider as you are sitting at your desk designing your new layout.  
(a) What is the purpose of this workspace?   Who will be using this workspace?  Is it an open concept for workgroups? Private office?  Is it for customer service, admin, sales/hotel, executive or something in between?

(b) Now you need to decide what's important within each workspace. Lots or little storage? Desk surface … do they need a small working space, or lots of room to spread out? Special sized private workstations or shared spaces for multi user? Standard or special shapes, unique transaction tops, image creating or functional reception work units. All of these must be part of your planning and layout process.  We tell customers not to worry about "what is possible" just think about what you’d like to see.  Let your furniture provider do the rest!

(c) With thousands of shapes and pieces to work with, don't be shy to match one up a custom designed unit with a standard run of mill sized station. Combining a custom made desk shape with a standard storage component is a great way to achieve your unique and stylish look workstation without blowing your budget.

(d) Mix and match your colors and finishes. With over 30 finishes to choose from there are over 500 different combinations that you can make using a standard color of laminate.  Get create, and let your wild side go! On the other hand, if longevity is what you’re after in your look, stay on the conservative side, and go with something neutral in tone.  Remember it is not just about matching the desk tops, but you can also blend or contrast the supports, edge details, hardware such as handles and seating.  These combinations can enhance and compliment your new color scheme.  
(e) Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Need some guidance?
