Top Tip: Make your space magical!

If your business operates in a physical space, allocating funds towards infrastructure and facilities improvement is a wise investment.

Enhance your office environment, insert art here, upgrade equipment, or renovate workspaces to create a more productive and appealing atmosphere for employees.

Additionally, consider energy-efficient upgrades such as LED lighting or smart thermostats to reduce operating costs and promote sustainability.

Who doesn't love a beautiful space to work in? You are there for a huge part of your life afterall, and the magic happens when staff are happy!

Tom and Sarah-Jane took home the win in 2023 for their working from home space, ticking all of the boxes with natural lighting thanks to clever use of Velux Skylights, a kitchenette complete with coffee machine and downstairs the ultimate down time zone complete with TV and a wine cellar!

There's no better way to keep the team spirit alive than by creating a hang out zone, insert a long bench and a stack of bar stools to get the team together and wow your customers or suppliers at your next meeting. Image and inspo via @pinterest.

Purchasing art is a practical way to update your office, make it asthetically pleasing, use calming colours to promote staff wellbeing, just like this artwork from Ronnie and Georgia's Block 2021 house, and as quality art can often hold it's value, if not increase over time, that's a smart investment to me, here at The Block Shop we have so much beautiful art, it's our biggest selling category and we take great pride in that!
