While working in a client\u2019s home is all about channeling their personal tastes and unique needs, creating a corporate space is a little different.\n\nNewer companies with young employee bases may be eager to create spaces that are more casual or exciting, but many businesses are probably looking for a more traditional space: something where functionality and professionalism might be valued over style and creativity. That doesn\u2019t mean the corporate spaces you create have to be flat and bland, though. Check out our tips for bringing your creativity to even the toughest office space.\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/creating-corporate-spaces-that-wont-leave-you-yawning\/#Let_the_light_in\" >Let the light in<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/creating-corporate-spaces-that-wont-leave-you-yawning\/#Stage_a_stakeout\" >Stage a stakeout<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/creating-corporate-spaces-that-wont-leave-you-yawning\/#Zoning\" >Zoning<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/creating-corporate-spaces-that-wont-leave-you-yawning\/#Dont_over-decorate\" >Don\u2019t over-decorate<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/creating-corporate-spaces-that-wont-leave-you-yawning\/#Help_build_their_brand\" >Help build their brand<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/creating-corporate-spaces-that-wont-leave-you-yawning\/#Focus_on_the_furniture\" >Focus on the furniture<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/creating-corporate-spaces-that-wont-leave-you-yawning\/#Discuss_their_limits\" >Discuss their limits<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Let_the_light_in\"><\/span>Let the light in<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThere are tons of studies showing that natural light increases productivity, happiness, health, and more\u2014basically, people just really like natural light. When you\u2019re redesigning an office space, try to start out by working around the windows; unless you\u2019re working on a big budget you won\u2019t be able to change them, so you want to make the most of the light they can give.\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-649\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/shutterstock_352290233_ed.jpg\" alt=\"A woman working in a bright, open corporate space\" \/>\n\nYou\u2019ll need artificial lighting too, of course. Try to stay away from that dreaded fluorescent glow\u2014look into options for ambient lighting, or focus on picking colors that will make plain fluorescent bulbs a little more bearable.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stage_a_stakeout\"><\/span>Stage a stakeout<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nIf possible, spend some time watching the office\u2019s employees at work before you start designing. There\u2019s no better way to get a sense of the office\u2019s heartbeat: Where are the high traffic areas? Where are the dead zones? What spaces do people use the most? What design resources are employees missing?\n\nOnce you\u2019ve got a feel for the office\u2019s atmosphere and needs, you\u2019ll have a much easier time designing a space that will support your client\u2019s employees, rather than accidentally hampering their work. You\u2019ll also have a better idea of the office\u2019s overall atmosphere, which can guide you towards a style to suit the environment.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zoning\"><\/span>Zoning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nEvery office has \u201czones\u201d\u2014spaces for work, meetings, socializing, relaxing, or getting some privacy. Design with these zones in mind, and think about how to meet the specific needs of each space. A busy kitchen isn\u2019t going to work as a spot for employees to take a quick nap or make a private phone call, but that dead area over in the corner might be perfect for a \u201cquiet zone.\u201d\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-651\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/shutterstock_267835487_ed.jpg\" alt=\"An office divided into different &quot;zones&quot;\" \/>\n\nDifferent zones are also opportunities to experiment with different d\u00e9cor. Casual social areas can give you a little more freedom than formal conference rooms, so try making them a little more welcoming and relaxed.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_over-decorate\"><\/span>Don\u2019t over-decorate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThis is especially true of areas around personal spaces like desks, cubicles, or individual offices, but it really goes for the whole place. That\u2019s not to say you should leave your work looking bare\u2014just make sure you leave room for employees to personalize their space.\n\nAs an interior decorator working with clients to design spaces in their homes, you get to work one-on-one with the main occupants to create rooms that suit their style and incorporate their personal touches. On the other hand, when you\u2019re designing an office, you\u2019re probably not working with every single employee who uses the space. Instead, leave opportunities for personalization in your design and let your clients\u2019 employees fill in the gaps.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Help_build_their_brand\"><\/span>Help build their brand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nWe\u2019re not suggesting you volunteer to take on their marketing campaigns\u2014your design career has you busy enough already! But there is something to be said for an office space that reflects a company\u2019s unique character.\n\nThis is especially true if the business conducts client meetings on site. Even if they don\u2019t, a workspace that reflects the company\u2019s brand and character can help give employees a sense of personality and remind them what they\u2019re there to do. Try going through a company\u2019s website, marketing tools, ads, and products to get a feel for their brand, then create a space that replicates it.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Focus_on_the_furniture\"><\/span>Focus on the furniture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThis is the one place where you absolutely do <i>not<\/i> want to sacrifice practicality for style. Many employees spend most of their day at their desks or in conference rooms, so it\u2019s important to make sure they have high-quality ergonomic chairs and computer setups. It might limit your creative potential a little, but it\u2019s definitely worth it to avoid back problems and other health issues down the road.\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-653\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/shutterstock_299889119_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Four people hold a business meeting on beanbag chairs\" \/>\n\nSpaces that see less use give you a little more flexibility, though. A kitchen or lounge where employees aren\u2019t sitting for extended periods of time could be the place to add some style to the office setup with creative chairs or stools.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Discuss_their_limits\"><\/span>Discuss their limits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nJust because your client\u2019s current office is kind of bland doesn\u2019t mean they want it to stay that way. When it comes to creating your vision, treat a corporate design project the same as you would an independent one: listen to what your client wants, make suggestions, and use your professional design experience to help fill in the gaps.\n\nThere are lots of ways to reenergize a workspace without getting too wild. Try bringing more color or texture to the office d\u00e9cor\u2014it\u2019s amazing how much character a little bit of brightness can bring to a room.\n\nIf your client is open to big changes, though, don\u2019t be afraid to get just as creative as you would with an independent client\u2019s home. An office doesn\u2019t have to look like an office\u2014we loved going through this list of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.creativebloq.com\/design\/design-offices-912828\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">awesome office spaces<\/a> for inspiration. But do make sure you\u2019re keeping those essential zones in mind; even the most innovative office needs spaces where employees can concentrate on their work.\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>Have you ever taken on corporate clients before?
