1. The Makeshift Home Office
Eric works from his home in North Kansas City as an accountant for a company on the West Coast. He is fortunate to be able to do this job remotely since the pandemic, but creating a home office fell by the wayside. Right now, he responds to emails and takes phone calls and meetings at his kitchen island. He often gets distracted during his work day and begins tinkering with home projects because he’s always home.
At the same time, he has a hard time transitioning from work time to family time, because his laptop is always on the kitchen counter. He’s been known to answer work emails while chopping vegetables for dinner, much to the annoyance of his family.
Eric needs a dedicated office space, not to mention an office makeover. He decides with his wife that they are going to turn their sunroom into a new office space. They hire a contractor to redo the floors and paint. For furniture, they head to Santa Fe Office Interiors in Overland Park, KS, for used office furniture. Here, they look for a large desk with plenty of surface area. They also find a high-quality chair that is easy on his back, neck, and shoulders and exudes executive-level class. He even discovers storage solutions that help create a new configuration and flow for this underused room.
Eric’s sun room has become the perfect business office. He can more easily transition between work time and home time, and he feels energized and focused in a space that is dedicated to work.
2. The Afterthought Home Office
When Perry first moved into her two-bedroom apartment in Mission, she always assumed she would make the second room into an office. She moved in a rickety table she had to put together herself and a swivel chair that she bought for her dorm when she was in college.
Perry was excited when she landed a senior role at her dream company and was allowed to work from home two days a week. She looked forward to using her hybrid schedule to walk her dog during the day and even exercise.
However, Perry has started dreading working from home. Her “office” has slowly become the room where she puts things that don’t belong anywhere else, like Christmas ornament boxes, a rowing machine, and bulk-store items that don’t fit on shelves. When her friends express their jealousy that she gets to work from home, Perry is the first to tell them that she actually prefers the office. Her lack of a dedicated office space has deflated her interest in taking advantage of a hybrid schedule.
Perry needs to redo her home office, so she can fully take advantage of her workplace’s flexibility. At Santa Fe Office Interiors, she can get a premium-quality standing desk that suits her needs, an ergonomic chair that brings color to her space, and practical storage solutions that turn her office into a clean, stylish space where she can focus on her work.
With the help of Santa Fe Office Interiors, Perry looks forward to working from home. Her teammates even compliment Perry on her office arrangement.
3. 3. New Brand, New Look For This Consulting Firm’s Office Furniture
A business consulting firm in Westport has recently rebranded. Their old name, logo, and color schemes are gone. They’ve also undergone a culture shift and plan to focus exclusively on designing high-end restaurants. Previously, their fledgling firm did a bit of everything, and they were flying by the seat of their pants. They took work wherever they could get it, but they never put time into their office.
In fact, this firm very rarely invited clients to their space; they often asked them to meet at their project site or a coffee shop. Their studio was a hodgepodge of furniture. Desks, chairs, tables, and office partitions were completely mismatched and rundown. In some ways, this matched their persona as a hard-working firm that was more focused on others’ interior design, rather than their own.
However, they realize now that if they are going to pursue major clients in a niche industry that values style and design, they’re going to need to use their office as a first impression. They will also need to hire more talent and demonstrate their appeal through a well-designed workplace. The team heads to Santa Fe Office Interiors together to find the best used office furniture in Kansas City. They put together an office interior design plan that works, based off of the pieces they find in our 9,000-square-foot showroom.
This consulting firm is now the epitome of sophistication. Their office appears uniform and tasteful, and they’re now more than ready to take on big-name clients.
4. Sinking Morale At An Insurance Agency Headquarters
A home insurance company in Shawnee is trying to figure out how to enliven their once thriving team culture. There used to be a great deal of laughter, conversation, and socializing during the workday, but this has seemed to dissipate over the years. Two major reasons for this change are completely understandable: the team is now under pressure to keep up with the incredible volume of work they’ve been experiencing. Further, the team is only in the office on a hybrid schedule.
The latest mix of team members don’t know each other as well as teams in the past who were in-office five days a week. Now, people come into the office, keep their heads down to work, hardly even exchanging pleasantries. The culture is certainly not celebratory, collaborative, or energized.
Senior leadership realizes that one way they can promote a deeper connection between team members to get rid of the traditional cubicles. They also want to set up spaces where folks can sit together to work at shared tables they look forward to gathering around. They also want their team to understand that wellness is important to them, so ergonomic chairs and standing desks are on their list. As a leadership team, they head over to Santa Fe Office Interiors and find exactly what they’re looking for.
Our Overland Park, KS, showroom provides all the options that this headquarters needs to open up their floor plan, create unique, collaborative spaces, and provide a variety of used office furniture options to make everyone on their team happy.
