After spending so much of your time in the office it is understandable that you want to give it a personal and tailored to your needs.

This not only makes you look more professional and established but also provides yourself with positive vibes rather than sitting in a painful horribly bare office. Realistically, your office should reflect your personality. Let's have a look at just how to give your office a more professional look whilst making it ‘yours’.

Sort out a good layout

A lot of the time you will be holding meetings in your office. This means when visitors, clients or customers do make it into your office, you want to make sure that it is welcoming and comfortable for them. To achieve this, you want to make sure the layout of your office is perfect.

Making the most of the space given, even if it is a small area, is imperative. Allowing enough space for both yourself and the visitor to be comfortable allows for a much more productive office space. Even the details as seemingly minor as restroom partition widths are considered, ensuring privacy and comfort extends to every aspect of your office environment.

This can range from a large office space with a specific meeting section created with sofas and coffee tables to much smaller spaces a comfortable chair and a clean desk across from your normal work station is perfect, not to mention it can be very affordable when buying from suppliers like Office Reality.

Making sure you have considered and implemented changes to your office space to sort out a good layout is a surefire way of making your office more professional. In current times, a good background for your webcam is also fairly important and something that is worth considering as everyone works from home.

Hang up something personal

Showing off who you really are is important in any office. What better way to showcase your personality than hanging your favorite aesthetically pleasing paintings and posters on your office wall. Providing a personal touch to your office makes for a more approachable space and shows that you actually have a personality and are human.

To make this change is easy and could be focused on anything. From landscapes of your favourite view to portraits of your family. Whatever it is you fancy, sticking things up on the wall that relate to you give the office that personal touch and make for a much more hospitable environment.

Organisation and Storage

Walking into an office which is disorganised is in a way similar to walking into a child's messy bedroom. This connotation alone is a strong argument for organisation and storage in making your office much more professional.

Not only does a messy desk, filing system or lack of storage result in yourself struggling with efficiency and productivity - unless you are in some serious organised chaos - but it is reflective onto visitors an impression which is not desirable.

This particularly true if you are fumbling around for documents concerning the visitor in front of them. Simply put, it is unprofessional. Instead, organising documents, clearing your desk and implementing actual storage units will make for a much more efficient and professional office space. It doesn’t need to be regimented, just not a mess.

Mother nature's touch

Creating a space which has a nice sprinkle of mother nature in it can be really effective at making your office professional. Strong lighting, well ventilated and a couple of plants dotted about are excellent ways of displaying a certain persona which appears to be very organised and professional.

It also provides not a lovely environment to operate within for not only yourself, but also any visitors to the office too. What's not to love about some natural light, fresh air and a blossoming spider plant?

Of course there are many other ways to give your office a more professional look but these are certainly a place to start on your office transformation journey.
