How Your Office Interiors 
Can Improve Your 
Productivity?
With global industry leaders questioning how exactly our 
workspaces will operate in the future, it is essential that 
offices make the best possible use of their space. 
With COVID-19 threatening the ‘classic office floor plan’ 
and, ultimately, business productivity, we reached out to 
our multi-award-winning interior design business coaches 
for their take on what the future holds.
Do ‘open space’ offices 
decrease productivity? 
JBM’s interior design expert and mentor, Priyaa 
Telavvane, suggests designated areas support teamwork 
and collaboration whilst creating space for people to 
work separately.
Interior design expert Indu Varanasi indicates “The design 
of each office is different, with a balance of acoustically 
controlled spaces and open collaboration areas. “
Can region-specific preferences 
affect productivity?
Climate, culture and lifestyle change from region to region, 
and it should come as no surprise that the work system and 
office culture would change as well. 
According to Priya, planning, structural limitations and 
material sourcing play a major role in variations across work 
spaces. 
Indu also notes the importance of assessing how privacy 
and client interaction are viewed in each region.
Cost-effective ways businesses 
can improve productivity with 
their current office?
Indu is a strong believer in the ethos of modernist architect 
L. Mies Van de Rohe: Less is, indeed, more!
Priya agrees that reducing clutter and maximising your 
existing space can increase an offices’ workflow. 
“Consider adjusting desk numbers, minimise stationary and 
frequently and effective sanitization. This includes carpets, 
air conditioning ducts and filters,” she adds.
