Interior designers can help improve office interiors using these tips:

1. Decluttering desk spaces. Interior designers know that tidy workspaces boost productivity.

2. Enough storage. It helps to have storage that hides most unwanted clutter. Specifically, closed storage gives a polished look.

3. Comfortable furniture. Due to long hours spent in the office, furniture should eliminate injury and strain. An example is adjustable chairs.

4. A clever mix of colors. Colors are known to affect the brain. It is important to choose colors that are energizing and calming.

5. Thermal comfort. Interior designers can work with engineers to ensure equipment such as HVAC systems are appropriately installed.
