A great workplace is not just putting office furniture into a room – your office is a reflection of your company’s brand and values, showcasing what you can offer and supporting staff retention, their wellbeing and attracting new talent. Good office interior design is a powerful tool in motivating your staff and communicating your company’s brand ethos and personality to both customers, visitors and staff alike.
At Flexiform, we supply more than just office furniture. We offer a ‘mix and match’ approach to our office interior design services to suit your needs, including consultation, analysis, interior design and space planning of your new workspace. All visualised through 2D and 3D plans, static renders, walkthroughs or virtual reality software. We design on an individual client basis, providing tailored layouts and styling to suit your company. Our in-house design teams can also collaborate with architects or external design firms involved in your project, bringing their vision to life with our products.
To create the best office design that not only looks great but works for your needs, we take the information gathered from the consultation and survey phase to present the first concept design. Our office interior design process includes:
briefing & project aims
site survey & analysis
initial concept
Client development
product layout & design
photo realistic visuals
amends & sign off
We can provide expert advice on office design and working styles, including open-plan layouts, agile working environments, traditional setups, education, and smart working solutions. Our experienced interior design and sales teams can showcase different approaches, furniture options and layouts to achieve your aims and objectives. Our approach includes full face-to-face briefings, office furniture showroom visits, and furniture finish sessions to aid the design process.
We offer comprehensive space planning layouts to help you optimise your office layout, including capacity planning, reconfiguration, department collaboration and more. Our interior design services are delivered by a skilled and experienced team, providing tailored advice on design schemes, including colour, finishes, materials, carpets, furniture, visuals and accessories. We create detailed proposals and mood boards to help you visualise your new space.
If you don’t have plans, our in-house space planning team can conduct a thorough site survey to create an accurate layout of the area. During the visit, the team uses a laser measurer to obtain precise measurements, ensuring all dimensions are correctly recorded. This meticulous approach guarantees that the layout accurately reflects the space’s specifications, helping to maximise the space and reduce any issues during installation.
During the survey, the team carefully document essential features, including overall room measurements, existing electrical points, radiators, windows, window cils, access doors, fire doors, skirting, and pillars. Once the measurements and details are gathered, the information is compiled and drawn up on AutoDesk Revit to create a comprehensive and precise digital site plan.
Our in-house interior designers use AutoDesk Revit software to create your new office layout. This software allows us to collaborate on Building Information Modelling (BIM) projects with 3rd party contractors to give a detailed layout with COBie Data, alongside producing excellent visuals to showcase the design. AutoDesk Revit also allows us to make live amends during meetings, working together to get the design just right.
Our in-house Interior Design & Space Planning team are BA(Hons) trained and compliant with fire regulations, latest trends, advice and designing for diversity, equality and inclusivity (EDI). Our design and sales team can also factor in your sustainability goals, specifying furniture, fabrics and materials that are long-lasting, recyclable and sustainable.
