2. Flexible, Pod-Area Layouts

Over the years, many companies have embraced the open concept office design, and now flexible workspaces and “pod-style” layouts are more important than ever.

5. More Natural Lighting

One of the big office trends in 2022 is incorporating more natural lighting into the workspace, if it’s possible.  Also, matte, non-reflective flooring and wall finishes are popular options, and designers should consider the light reflective value when selecting design elements.

Many modern office spaces now feature living walls (also known as green walls), which are real gardens and plant displays that are fixed to interior walls.  You don’t even have to go as far as a full green wall; many offices are embracing more plants in general.

Many office designs are incorporating wallcoverings into their spaces, which can be used to showcase history and culture.  Any pattern, texture or color on a wall — a wood design, wallpaper, absorption paneling among other options and more — can add warmth and dimension to any space.
