I am currently the sales director of the BT Office Furniture Group of companies which supplies office furniture through a group of websites and via a 5000 square foot showroom to homes and businesses throughout the UK. BT Group's flagship office furniture website is regarded as one of the easiest to browse on the web today. Its intuitive navigation system makes sourcing new office desks and office chairs a quick and visually engaging process. One of my key responsibilities is to help customers find the right product to suit their office space and budget.
Dull or Fresh? Whatever you think about the colour white, it can work in any office space and with different types of interiors. White is a timeless colour that will never go out of fashion and therefore making it ideal for the office environment.
If used correctly, white office furniture can make a pure and fresh impression and create a peaceful atmosphere. To prevent a 'white' room from looking blank and boring, other colours or materials should be introduced to the design. White looks great together with wood furniture or coloured glass or mixed with black office furniture to create a minimalist modern design.
WHITE OFFICE DESKS AND TABLES
White office desks and tables are available in glass, melamine and mdf and you can choose between a glossy or matt surface. By keeping your desk surfaces white the room will appear light and big even if other furniture is dark.
Create a crisp look in your boardroom with a large white glass table with aluminium or chrome frame and legs. Add wooden, black or different coloured boardroom chairs to complete the look. For a warmer feel turn it around and use white leather boardroom chairs with a wooden boardroom table.
WHITE OFFICE STORAGE
White storage units such as filing cabinets, drawers, cupboards and bookshelves would blend in and appear smaller if put against a white wall. If you want them to be more noticeable, many units are now available with a wooden frame or with coloured glass doors.
In an otherwise white room, add a splash of colour through accessories and by making one piece of furniture stick out. A large red metal Bisley filing cabinet would make a contemporary and fun effect and add a bit of warmth to the room.
WHITE RECEPTION FURNITURE
Make your reception area feel airy and spacious with a white reception desk and matching white leather sofas or tub chairs. Choose a reception desk with wooden, aluminium or coloured glass features and find a coffee table to match.
If you are still not convinced that white is the colour for you then cream furniture, or a very light wood like beech, could have a similar effect as white furniture.
