Creating Welcoming Breakout Areas in the Workplace Can Boost Creativity

More and more businesses are adopting breakout areas when they’ve planning office space but the key to ensuring they’re used frequently is adding comfy, welcoming furniture, accord to the Tub Collection.

Recognising the creativity and collaboration boosts that spaces that encourage employees to step away from their desks bring, firms are increasingly turning spaces into hubs where members of staff can discuss ideas, hold informal meetings, and simply relax. However, to make sure the breakout zones get as much use as possible and create an inspiring environment, Tub Collection is urging employers to consider the final touches they give each area.

Amelia Crawford, Lead Buyer at The Tub Collection, said, “Breakout areas are a great use of space in an office environment. They act as a place where different teams can come together to focus on creativity and discussing how to push projects to the next level. With a more relaxed and informal setting, businesses often find that their employees will bring up ideas they wouldn’t normally when stuck behind a desk all day. It’s a great way for firms to increase staff engagement and get the most out of their vital human resources.

“However, it’s not just about giving a space for employees to get out of the usual office environment. Businesses need to make a real effort to make breakout areas comfy and welcoming, otherwise, they’ll go unused. It should start with décor that captures the brand, whether that’s colourful and vibrant or relaxing vibes, and ensure that furniture pieces are snug. Tub chairs provide an excellent solution for many breakout area layouts. They’re comfy, provide each person with an individual seat, and take up minimal room. Complementing these with stylish coffee tables, potted planted, soft furnishings, and even some entertainment, can make this new office space trend more effective.”

Tub Collection sells a variety of tub chairs that are perfect for laidback office areas that aim to inspire. With a range of fabrics to choose from, firms can select the option that matches their overall brand colours and style, from bold striped patterns to elegant pastels.
