Maximising Space and productivity in Small Offices

November 19, 2022

While the aesthetics of a small office are important for creating an enjoyable work environment, the functional aspects of privacy and focus are often critical yet overlooked. Here’s how you can tackle these challenges to ensure your small office is as productive as possible.

Prioritising Privacy in Compact Areas

In small offices, managing privacy can be particularly challenging. It's not uncommon for makeshift private areas to be set up in less-than-ideal places. However, the illusion of privacy with walls and doors might not suffice if soundproofing isn't adequate. To truly address privacy, ensuring soundproof spaces is essential. This prevents awkward situations where conversations are unintentionally overheard, fostering a more respectful and discreet workspace.

Enhancing Focus in Limited Spaces

Focus is another vital element in small offices. The balance of background noise, such as music, can be divisive. Some find it helps concentration, while others see it as a distraction. Moreover, personal taste in music can further complicate this issue. While headphones can mitigate the disruption, they don't solve the problem of general noise pollution in open-plan areas, which can decrease overall satisfaction and increase stress among team members.


Providing a dedicated space for noisy activities like phone calls or video meetings is crucial. It allows for necessary sound production without disturbing others, enabling everyone to work more effectively in close quarters.
