How you fit out an office has never been more important. The concept of the office has evolved hugely over the past few years, and expectations are now completely different to how they were even 10 years ago. Businesses are saying goodbye to dull, non-functional interiors, and are now looking towards office spaces that are adapted to modern working styles – collaboration, remote meetings, breakout spaces, and biophilic designs have all become key players in the office fit-out game.
Jade Aden Interiors is a top-rated office fit out company and in this guide, we’ll use our experience to clue you into everything you need to think about when it comes to fitting out your office for the modern working environment. If you would like to talk to us about your office fit-out or need further advice or information, don’t hesitate to give us a call on 01425 689199.
Why might you need an office fit-out?
These days, fitting out your office is all about understanding how exactly your office space needs to function to facilitate a productive working environment.
For example, do you have an idea generation area where employees can collaborate? Do your employees have a breakout area where they can recharge their batteries before a busy afternoon? Do you have a boardroom that gives your clients the ‘wow factor’ as soon as they walk through the door?
What does your office space say about you?
Your office space is as much about building your business’s identity as it is about providing a place where people can work. It says so much about what kind of company it is, and can influence both the people you employ and the clientele that walk through your doors. Because of this, designing your workplace should involve both thinking about how you want your company to come across to customers and asking your staff what they want.
Are you maximising your office space?
It’s an expensive and lengthy business to move offices, which is why fitting out your office to maximise space is so important. There are all sorts you can do to create an office space that caters for all areas of your business – from sectioning off meeting rooms with acoustic glass partitions to improving health and safety with integrated storage solutions.
What should you think about before you go ahead with an office fit-out?
There are lots of things that you need to consider before you go ahead with an office fit-out, with the main factors being:
Before you make any concrete plans, be sure that you know your budget and understand the costs involved. While an office fit-out is an expense, it’s also a long-term investment that can greatly benefit your business. An attractive and well-designed workspace can have a huge impact on efficiency and motivation.
While we always aim to minimise disruption during an office fit-out, it’s still advisable to avoid scheduling one during your busiest time. Set out your deadlines and expectations early, and we will work with you to make the process as smooth as possible.
Do you need more space, more storage, or maybe you want to reduce noise travel? Think about why you want to address the fit-out of your office in the first place.

Choosing the right company to complete your office fit-out
There are lots of companies out there that offer office fit-out services. But giving your office a makeover is a huge investment and it needs to be able to support your staff and the growth of your business over the years to come.
Naturally, you’ll want to pick the best company to complete the fit-out first time, so here are a few tips for choosing the right one:
Check accreditations
Is your chosen office fit-out company serious about their credentials and health and safety? Any office fit-out company worth their salt will be able to provide you with a full list of accreditations to put your mind at ease and prove that they have undergone all the necessary training to provide an excellent service.

Do they have a portfolio?
You’ll want to choose an office fit-out company that will align themselves with your vision. Ask them if they have a portfolio of previous office fit-out work that they can show you, so you can see some examples of their previous design and installation projects. This will give you an idea on what you can expect.
Our office fit-out specialists take the time to listen to your requirements and will work alongside you to create the perfect office fit out for your business. You can take a look at our case studies and office fit-out gallery for examples of the excellent work we’ve carried out for our clients in the South.
Are they clear on costs?
Being slapped with unexpected costs is the last thing any business owner wants. A good office fit-out company will be transparent with their pricing from the offset; ask questions about what you’ll be paying for and establish your budget from the start, so you aren’t hit with a daunting service bill.
Our office fit-out experts work within your budget to provide you with a brand-new office space that you and your staff are bound to love.
