Working in a portable office unit or flat packed building offers many advantages, from flexibility to cost-effectiveness. But while portable office units are practical, they can feel a little chilly as the weather gets colder.
Creating a cosy and comfortable atmosphere in your workspace can make a big difference to your productivity and well-being, so it is important to prioritise this as the seasons change.
Read on to find out more about how you can make your modular building feel warmer this winter.
Choose Warm Lighting
Lighting can completely change the feel of a space, where fluorescent lights can sometimes make modular offices feel cold and sterile. We recommend replacing them with warmer-toned LED bulbs to create a more inviting atmosphere. You could also introduce desk lamps or floor lamps to add soft, ambient lighting, which will make your flat packed building feel less like a temporary structure and more like a comfortable, long-term workspace.
Add Personal Touches
Customising your portable office unit with personal items is a great way to make it feel more like home. Bring in items like family photos, artwork, or even a house plant or two. Adding a rug can also give your modular office that extra touch of warmth, literally and figuratively, and make it feel less industrial.
Invest in Comfortable Furniture
A cosy office is also about physical comfort. Investing in quality, ergonomic furniture is key to making your workspace inviting and functional. Look for a comfortable chair with good back support, a desk with ample space, and soft furnishings like cushions or throws to add a homey touch.
Incorporate Nature
Natural elements can instantly warm up your workspace. Plants not only brighten up your portable office unit but also improve air quality and promote relaxation. If you don’t have a green thumb, consider low-maintenance options like succulents or snake plants.
Adjust Temperature Controls
One of the key factors in feeling cosy is staying at a comfortable temperature. Make sure your flat packed building has proper ventilation and heating options to keep it at an optimal temperature year-round.
