Display & storage essentials for a busy workplace
Nowhere needs to be more in order, organised and spick and span then an office where space is limited. Small businesses, open-plan offices, schools, colleges and universities are all examples of where the busy and bustling atmosphere needs to be secure and hazard free. Take advantage of our creative storage ideas for a clutter free coffee room, a bright and airy meeting room, and above all a happy team, including students and employees!
Reception areasA friendly reception is very important in small business, offices or at a college. Make sure your reception desk is the first thing that visitors see and is prominently placed with appropriate signage. Our display furniture includes a range of quality display gondolas, shop counters, wood and aluminium display cabinets and storage counters, perfect for any waiting room or reception environment and to neatly hide anything away from sight that is confidential of needs to be securely stored. For light inventory, chrome wire shelving will be more than suitable. Despite only being a lightweight unit itself, it is able to hold an impressive amount of weight without taking up too much space. The shelves are fully adjustable to any height, allowing you to adjust tiers as required. Opt for a wider unit with more tiers for maximum stowage opportunities. Ours have between 3-8 tiers as standard, but additional tiers can be purchased separately. Chrome wire shelving is also an ideal choice for your small accessories and peripherals.
Meeting rooms, classrooms & lecture halls
With so much going on, whether you are running a thriving business, greeting important clients or teaching a group of students in a classroom, practical, flexible shelving and storage is of paramount importance. For books, research tools and less-often-used assets, twin slot shelving is an ideal answer. As the financial or school year progresses, the shelving can be easily extended along with each shelf having the ability to expand or detract by utilising its straightforward and resourceful slot system. For everyday shelving, mobile chrome wire shelving on wheels is perfect for a busy office or any working environment, allowing easy transportation from room to room and sizable storage capacity. A great idea for schools with younger children is to use a trolley version, which is useful for storing and serving lunchboxes or picking up and transporting books around the classroom.
Team rooms and break out areas
Generally the team room, lunch area of staffroom is where your employees and you can go to grab a welcome breather from all the challenges that a busy work life commands. Compose your mood by taking a bit of quiet time in a well-maintained, calm and tidy environment. This means having coats, jackets and accessories neatly stored, rather than hanging off backs of chairs. Either a clothes rail with hangers or a shelving rack with a cover for protection is ideal. Why not position a suggestion box next to the lunch area, when people are generally feeling a bit more relaxed and creative to spark and record ideas for improvements and later discussion.
Keep all magazines, folders, files and books in stackable storage boxes, clearly labelling each on the front. We have a comprehensive collection of plastic bins, boxes and containers to keep your paperwork tidy and organised or if you need to pack and transport your belongings during a move. We currently have 25% off our pack of 10 storage boxes with lids, with a range of styles and sizes, you are sure to find the storage you need.
Hallways & corridors
Keep hallways hazard-free and well instructed. It’s impossible have eyes in the back of your head and in educational environments sometimes this attention to detail is necessary. Keep corridors moving smoothly and segregated by splitting the walkways. Use barrier post systems in fast-moving traffic areas or to mark off an area as private or staff only. Make sure your safety and information signage is up to date, well-kept and visible. All fire doors, exits and exit routes should be clearly marked and easily noticeable. For everything else that needs a home but needs to be at easy-reach, open shelving such as Chrome Wire or Twin Slot keeps the quiet space organised and orderly.
