Ergonomics first, then comes color

Ergonomics first, then comes color

With the excitement of being away from the office for two years and the need for social interaction, nowadays people spend more time in offices. Even though the hybrid working model is generally adopted, it's essential to create spaces that are both visually appealing and functional for the health of employees. There are a few ways to achieve this, but a good starting point might be to incorporate magenta, the lively and energizing color of 2023, which symbolizes well-being, into designs.

Everyone is now aware that ergonomics should be the top priority in office furniture, and they understand its importance. Investing in furniture and accessories designed with ergonomics as a foundation will help prevent physical discomfort and injuries for both companies and individual workers. This can range from office chairs to adjustable desks, seating groups, and storage spaces that should be present in an office or home office.

Office design can support healthy living with all its elements

Of course, it's not all about ergonomic designs. The overall layout of the workspace can also have a significant impact on employees' health. As we have often emphasized in our previous blog posts, it's necessary to incorporate plants and other natural elements into designs to bring some liveliness and naturalness to offices. Natural light is now among the top essentials since the importance of daylight for human health is well known to everyone. Therefore, placing office desks next to windows will be the primary source of vitality and healthy living for employees. In workspaces where access to natural light is not possible, a high-quality light source that creates a natural light effect is required. This is a critical issue that should be a priority for company owners and/or executives.

As mentioned in our blog titled "The Color of the Year: Viva Magenta", magenta adds energy, excitement, and a bit of drama to spaces with its dynamic vibrancy. Encouraging employees to express themselves, magenta, which creates vitality and vigor, can add liveliness to the work environment in every aspect of office designs. Incorporating magenta accents, such as cushions or vases, into office designs can create a color and personality explosion in the space. However, too much of any color can be overwhelming, so it's essential to ensure it's balanced with neutral tones. The courageous emphasis in the color's spirit can be reflected in the workspace by using it as a complement alongside calm and natural colors.

In general, creating a healthy and ergonomic workspace is about finding a balance between form and function. By adding a touch of magenta and prioritizing ergonomic furniture and design, you can create a space that's both visually appealing and supports your health.
