Workplace culture has changed dramatically in the past two years, so many businesses are planning office remodeling projects in 2022 to adjust. The design trends of this year reflect employees’ desire to work in a flexible and comfortable space that may remind them of home. Here are some of the main concepts to consider if you’re building or remodeling this year. 

What Office Remodeling Trends Should You Consider in 2022?

1. Flexible Layouts

Many offices are employing optional telework or hybrid models in 2022, and even those with more rigid schedules may move employees to different areas periodically to maintain safe and healthy work environments. An open floor plan with modular furniture or offices that can double as conference rooms or break areas gives teams multiple options. If you’re remodeling an existing space with lots of separation, this may require knocking down walls to create an entirely new floor plan that suits your current team. 

2. Sustainable Materials 

Sustainability is a major draw for both employees and customers. Workers are drawn to socially conscious organizations, so using materials like cork or bamboo flooring and reclaimed wood beams may help you attract and retain top talent. When clients visit, they may also note your company’s commitment to sustainability, positioning you as a socially conscious choice above other industry competitors. 

3. Comfortable Atmosphere

Working in a traditional office simplifies collaboration and accountability, but it’s not generally as comfortable as working from home. Provide employees with the best of both options by offering spaces that remind them of home. For example, set up coworking areas with couches and comfortable chairs, and increase natural lighting with extra windows and skylights.
