I have to admit, I love modern office interiors. While realising that a lot of thought has gone into the business drivers and practicalities of each spatial design, it is also great to see arrangements that speak to our inner child. Bright colours and wonderfully fresh (and sometimes strange) layouts can have a huge effect on our enjoyment of work. We can, at times, spend more time in the office than in our own homes, so this is a great trend to see.

Here are some of my favourites spotted on Instagram over the last few months.

Applying an evidence-based design methodology to your office allows you to truly understand your team’s daily activities and challenges. #workspace #workplace #office #officedesign #design #interiordesign #business #technology #productivity #intelligentdesign #officeplans

The design for #TPGClient @arnold_worldwide takes its cues from the creative advertising firm’s vibrant culture. A former printing house building, the NYC space is flooded with natural light, panoramic city views, and fun pops of color. . . . #TPGArchitecture #design #architecture #designer #interiordesign #details #NYC #newyorkcity #NY #newyork #office #officelife #officespace #culture #advertising #firm #creativeagency #agencylife #makers #maker #creative #creativity #fun #color #friday #fridayfun

#InstagramTakeover: Here’s one of Suzette’s projects that illustrates the concept of driving change in the workplace. For Wiley Publishing in Hoboken, the new space has brought the publisher into the present and made them ready for the future, fashioning the contemporary look of a company that has more unity, collaboration, flexibility, and panache. @ssferrier @neocon_shows . . . #TPGArchitecture #NeoConEast2017 #interiordesign #architecture #wiley #hoboken #newjersey #publishing #waterfront #nyc #interiors #office #officespace #workplace #workplacedesign #workplacewednesday #wednesday #neocon #philadelphia

Learning isn’t just for the brain. Research indicates that people learn better through movement. Interior solutions promoting movement is therefore an excellent choice in environments for new knowledge. #workspacesolutions #office #archilover #scandinavia #design #furnitures #work #workspace #future #archimasters #architektur #archdaily #architettura #archilovers #architizer #ignyc #archimasters #archilover #architecture #go #picture #photography
