Maximise your office space while giving your employees the comfort of their own private work environment with a creative partition design that balances both private and open plan spaces.
Partition design has come a long way since its invention more than 40 years ago. There is no excuse for your office space to feel like a cubicle jungle made from a series of grey, dull panels. There are plenty of modern options available and your local commercial office fit-outs company can design and create a bright and airy feel to your office while offering privacy when needed.
Here are 8 creative ways to partition your office the right way.
1. The IDEA WALL
The IDEA WALL has revolutionised office space partitioning. It is a frameless, interactive wall that can be produced up to 30 meters in length and allows up to seven people to work collaboratively on it at once. Similar to an interactive whiteboard, the IDEA WALL allows users to write and draw, as well as create graphs and flowcharts, with all content able to be saved or sent electronically. This partition technology is ideal for collaborative spaces where brainstorming and notetaking are important aspects of a project.
2. BuzziWings
Who says partitions must be floor to ceiling? BuzziWings offer a creative take on traditional floor-to-ceiling partitions. Hanging from the ceiling at a 90 degree angle, these dividers do not touch the ground which makes spaces feel open and airy as opposed to cramped and isolated. Even though these partitions do not touch the ground they are designed specifically with acoustics in mind meaning they give workers the privacy to converse without being overheard when needed.
3. Workbays
Workbays are an impressive partitioning technology developed by Vitra. They are aesthetically pleasing to look at and built-in with everything one needs in an office space: work surfaces, seating, storage and power connections. Despite their open plan design they are made for noise reduction and actually absorb disruptive noise from the surrounding environment. Workbays are multifunctional with configurations falling into three categories targeted to different work environments and employee needs: Focus, Meet and Space.
4. Privacy Walls
The Steelcase Privacy Walls are an easy partitioning solution. With a selection of both transparent and opaque walls to choose from, these walls work for you when it comes to choosing how much privacy you want from your partitions. They are easy to put up and take down and they are made from 30 percent recycled material which means your office space is not only functional but sustainable as well.
5. Wannabetree Office Screens and Wall Panel
Designed by Bertil Harström, Wannabetree office partitions are a funky way to divide office spaces. Their unique shape and range of colours bring eye catching spectacle to office spaces while functioning practically as sound cancelling screens. Available in three different sizes, screens can be arranged in an interlinking pattern to create a partition to your exact specifications.
6. Dry Erase Paints
IdeaPaint’s dry erase paints are an inexpensive solution if your wanting to facilitate collaboration by making your partitioned spaces more interactive. A coat of paint can turn a plain partition wall into a chalkboard, whiteboard or magnetic surface.
7. Part Plaster, Part Glass Partition
Another simple and cost-effective partitioning solution is a half/ half partition that is made of both plaster and glass. This type of partition is more permanent but allows plenty of light to enter the partitioned workspace while providing the space with privacy as well.
8. Recessed Partition
Choosing a recessed partition can offer a lot of diverse design options. Recesses can be used as bookshelves or simple storage areas, or filled with plants for a more eco-friendly office design concept.
