The 5 Hottest Office Furniture Trends 

Hidden Wires
Whether this is achieved by more innovatively designed desks that cater to organised wire arrangements or a snazzy product to get those pesky wires out of the way, its happening in 2016! To prevent work spaces and desktops looking messy and disorganised, this trend will aim to keep wires hidden and offices looking cleaner.
The homey feel trend 
Work spaces are getting homier! Which means offices have welcoming furniture fit for a residential home more than your traditional office space. You will start seeing wooden desks that remind you of kitchen tables at home with a colourful palette instead of the conventional monotone vibes. As you can see with this office colour psychology guide, a carefully selected choice of colours can make a huge difference to the productivity and creativity of employees.
More of the outside in the office
Nature has always impacted design in the on world of humans. Now it’s having a big impact on the office space too. You will begin to see wooden installations and floral fabrics floating around the office. More plants will be cropping up and works of art that display nature. Normally, nature and offices have been far removed from each other in the past but this year, nature is making a comeback!
Convertible desks
Yup, your workstation might be convertible in 2016. With various brands realising that it’s nothing special to sit or stand at your desk now, they are adapting to the growing need. People are discovering that standing and working is not only better for your physiology and posture, but it makes a break from the norm.
So the furniture will expand and change with the growing needs of employees in this department. This goes for seating during meetings too. Sometimes staff won’t want to sit for the entire hour (or sometimes 3! You know how meetings go…), so the 2016 chair may be very different from what you are used to.
Special areas especially for chilling!
Designated lounging areas are gonna’ be big for 2016 and it’s a change we are welcoming with open arms! Mangers and CEOs are recognising the need for employees to unwind and take a complete step back from what they are doing. This is particularly the case in high-stress environments and let’s face it, which office isn’t these days! So expect to see more sofas, bean bags, coffee areas, grass patches and more to facilitate relaxed collaboration and a calmer ambience.
