Office Renovation on a Budget: High-End Style for Less

Revitalizing your workspace doesn’t have to drain your bank account. Whether you’re a startup or an established firm, an office renovation on a budget is entirely possible when you stop thinking "new" and start thinking "smart." 

Here are three tips for an affordable, quality office renovation:

Prioritize Used Commercial Furniture

The secret to a professional look at a fraction of the cost is sourcing used commercial furniture. High-quality pieces from office furniture manufacturers like Steelcase or Haworth are built to last for decades. When you visit a used office furniture showroom like ours, you get access to quality desks and storage units that look brand new but cost up to 70% less than retail. Purchasing pre-owned furniture will save you tons on shipping costs, too! 

Focus on High-Impact Zones

If you can’t redo the entire office, focus instead on just one space at a time. We suggest starting with your lobby and conference rooms, since they’re the most frequently visited by customers and clients. A fresh coat of paint, a high-quality used reception desk, and a set of comfortable waiting room sofas and chairs can transform a client's first impression without a total overhaul. 

Leverage Local Services
