Desks
What is the difference between desk systems, executive desks, and workstations?
• Desk systems are modular setups that can be expanded or reconfigured, ideal for growing offices.
• Executive desks are larger, premium desks designed for managers or private offices, often with storage and a statement design.
• Workstations are compact, practical desks designed for individual employees, often used in open-plan environments and are typically L-Shaped.
How do I choose the right desk for my office layout?
Consider your available space and how your team works:
• Open-plan offices benefit from workstations or desk systems
• Private offices suit executive desks
• Growing teams should consider modular desk systems for flexibility
Always measure your space and allow room for movement and chairs.
What size desk should I choose?
Standard desk widths typically range from 1200mm to 1800mm in Australia.
• Smaller spaces: 1200–1500mm
• General office use: 1500–1800mm
• Executive offices: 1800mm+
Also check depth (usually 750-900mm) to ensure enough workspace.
Are desk systems easy to expand or reconfigure?
Yes. Most desk systems are designed to be modular, allowing you to add desks, partitions, or storage as your business grows. This makes them a cost-effective long-term solution.
Do office desks come with cable management and storage?
Many modern desks include built-in features such as:
• Cable trays or cut-outs
• Modesty panels
• Drawers or integrated storage (more common in executive desks)
Always check the product details to see what’s included, as some accessories may be optional.
Office furniture
How do I furnish a large commercial office space efficiently?
Start with a clear floor plan and zoning strategy. Divide the space into key areas such as workstations, straight desks, meeting rooms, and breakout zones. Choose modular furniture systems that can scale as your team grows, and prioritise consistency in finishes and styles for a cohesive look.
What furniture works best in open-plan offices?
Open-plan offices benefit from:
• Shared Desk Systems to maximise space
• Acoustic screens or partitions to reduce noise
• Ergonomic chairs for comfort during long work hours
Balancing collaboration with privacy is key, so consider adding quiet zones or pods where needed.
How should I design breakout spaces?
Breakout areas should feel relaxed and flexible. Popular furniture includes:
• Lounge seating or sofas
• Café-style tables and chairs
• Ottomans or soft seating
These spaces are ideal for informal meetings, collaboration, or giving staff a place to recharge.
What should I consider when buying furniture in bulk?
For large fit-outs, consider:
• Lead times and stock availability
• Bulk pricing or trade discounts
• Consistency across all items
• Delivery and installation services
Working with a supplier who can manage the entire project can save time and reduce costs.
How do I ensure the furniture is durable for commercial use?
Look for commercial-grade furniture with:
• Strong materials (e.g. steel frames, high-quality laminates)
• Warranty coverage
• Certifications for durability and safety
Commercial furniture is designed to handle daily use and will last longer than residential alternatives.
Tables & Chairs
What type of table is best for a boardroom?
Boardroom tables are typically larger and designed to seat multiple people comfortably. Popular options include:
• Rectangular or boat-shaped tables for formal meetings
• Modular tables that can be extended for flexibility
Choose a size that allows at least 900–1200mm of space around the table for chairs and movement.
How many chairs should I allow for a meeting or boardroom table?
A general guide is to allow 600–750mm per person along the table edge. For example:
• A 2400mm table seats around 6–8 people
• Larger boardroom tables can seat 10+
Always ensure there is enough space between chairs for comfort.
What should I look for in meeting room chairs?
Meeting room chairs should balance comfort and practicality. Look for:
• Ergonomic support for longer meetings
• Stackable or lightweight designs for flexibility
• Durable, easy-to-clean materials
Armrests can add comfort but may limit how many chairs fit around a table.
What furniture works best in a reception area?
Reception spaces should be welcoming and functional. Common choices include:
• Comfortable lounge chairs or sofas
• Coffee tables or side tables
• A reception desk suited to your space and branding
Durability and easy maintenance are important due to high foot traffic.
Do boardroom and meeting tables include cable management?
Many modern tables offer built-in cable management solutions, such as:
• Cable trays or cut-outs
• Power and data modules
• Concealed cable routing
These features help keep the space tidy and support presentations or video conferencing.
