Office Furniture Tips - For A Better Cube

Just because you spend over 40 hours per week in your cube doesn’t mean you have to live like a rat in a cage. Here are some sure-fire tips for improving the look and feel of your own little 25 square foot corner of the office that will help make you a healthier person to boot.



Tips for a better cube





  1. Start with a great chair. Be sure and get an adjustable chair with good lower back support. Long-term positioning in a poorly designed chair can lead to a lifetime of back problems.


  2. Go green. If you get proper sunlight in your cube, add a plant or two. It will make the space a healthier, more pleasant place to spend your day.


  3. Get with the ergonomic flow. Ergonomic keyboard and mouse sets are now relatively inexpensive and help you avoid carper-tunnel syndrome and other medical conditions that stem from long-term PC usage.


  4. Make the space your own. Tasteful additions of artwork and photos make your cube a more enjoyable place to be. And the more “at home” your cube looks, the more your co-workers will begin to feel comfortable in the space as well.


  5. Keep it clean. Excessive clutter keeps you from being productive, and is just no fun to be around. At the end of every day, clean up your cube thoroughly so that it looks sharp when you arrive the next morning.


  6. Consider good feng shui. If possible, position your cube so that you are facing the entrance to the office (as opposed to a wall). According to the rules of feng shui, this places you in a more powerful position with additional positive energy.


  7. Let the music play. Low levels of soothing, inspirational music add a pleasant soundtrack to your day. Bring in a portable radio or attach small speakers to your PC. Just remember to ask your co-workers if the volume and music type is acceptable to them.
