Office fixtures are both built-in and movable elements designed to create a comfortable and efficient workplace. Examples of office fixtures are reception desks, cubicles, shelves, lighting elements, desks, and office chairs. Many offices today can be found with kitchen fixtures and restroom fixtures such as kitchen tables, kitchen stools, toilets, and sinks.
The layout of office fixtures in an open office depends on the type of office and space available. Create different zones in which workers can have quiet spaces, meeting rooms, and social areas and arrange the office fixtures accordingly. If there is a lot of daily activity consider placing groups of desks, with some meeting tables. If not, include semi-private cubicles and enclosed conference rooms.
The number of lumens per square foot should be calculated to find how many lighting fixtures are needed in the space. This can be done by taking the total lumens and dividing it by the total square footage of the space. Experts recommend different lumens for different spaces like 10-20 lumens per square foot for the living room.
