Your office’s meeting spaces are where the tone is set for your projects, goals, and big ideas. Creating a space that appeals to your team members, but also prompts their creativity and innovation is important. Not only can it improve your bottom line, but it can also provide inspiration to the problem-solvers in your business.

Need ideas to maximize your workplace and take your team to the next level? Here are some of our top suggestions to create inspirational meeting spaces.

Create Glass-Walled Meeting Areas

Show your employees that transparency and open collaboration are at the top of your checklist. Glass-walled meeting spaces keep your floor plan open and airy, while still giving team members the quiet areas that they need to create and strategize effectively.

Glass can act as a whiteboard for active (and fun) note-taking or drawing up a specific vision in real time, ensuring that your office remains a dynamic and exciting workplace.

Provide Tech-Friendly Features

As businesses continue to implement remote work and collaborate with team members around the world, it’s important to create a space that allows for easy plug-and-play virtual collaboration in your shared physical spaces. Consider the tech features that you can bring to your office spaces to make this easier.

Invest in Your “Agora”

There’s a reason why so much learning happened in the stair-like structures of the Greek agoras. This type of space allows everyone to easily see speakers and peers, while also allowing participants to move around to collaborate.

A central meeting place can offer high school assembly-style gatherings or a casual setting for members of different project groups to exchange ideas. Whether you can install an actual stair structure or not, creating a central point in your office where ideas are easily discussed and exchanged is a great way to invest in innovative communication within the workplace.

Build Quirky Spaces

Keep the minds of your creative team awake with interesting spaces. Some businesses are making smaller meeting areas that resemble campsites, where employees can sit on bench “logs” and cushion “rocks.” Others have incorporated cozy restaurant booths or exciting colors. No matter what kind of unique space you design, keeping things fresh in a way that plays into your company brand can help to spark new ideas and keep excitement in your workspace.
