Let's imagine that you have a place that you will use as a dietitian's office in the future. First of all, you need to evaluate the current state of the place. You should determine whether the number of rooms in the office is sufficient for the functions to be performed in the office. There are usually individual rooms, meeting rooms, collective work rooms, customer reception areas, waiting rooms, kitchens where drinks and food can be prepared, or small-scale niches within the office. According to your business, it is necessary to determine which of these areas are a priority and establish connections between spaces and functions according to these needs.
Another aspect that should be considered in function-space installations is the circulation areas. When designing the construction of your office, sufficient circulation areas must be provided to ensure the uninterrupted transition between functions. If you want to create spacious and ergonomic spaces for office workers and visitors, you need to ensure the balance between circulation space-space Decoupling elements-fixed or movable furniture very well.
After the necessary circulation area and space-function connections are made, the other step in the design should be to create ergonomic spaces for users. The most important element in ergonomic designs is;
THE FURNITURE
If you want to use the furniture chosen for the office in the long term;
Successfully serving the user and the function
Does not require changes to the furniture later and is functionally enough for future purposes
Produced using durable materials
You should choose furniture that makes the working conditions comfortable.
In office interior architecture designs, furniture is the effective element that shapes the space and user psychology. To the needs and demands of the customer, furniture choices should be made that can perform indoor functions most healthily and provide an ergonomic solution for the user. Furniture choices that increase human health, work efficiency, and office harmony for office employees and customers will show their positive effects in the space in a short time.
When making furniture selections in the dietitian's office, priority ones are selected for indoor functions first. For example, individual work areas, meeting rooms, and waiting-reception areas, for example. After the furniture requirements of these areas are collected, if there is a specialized area in the office, furniture choices should be made for this area next. Getting help from a professional design team in this process will both speed up your work and increase the efficiency of the work when you look at the big picture.
The Right Furniture For Your Dietitian's Office
To provide sufficient circulation areas for the office, the selected furniture should be considered together with the existing square meters. For example, if we are designing in a small area in square meters; multifunctional work desks and ergonomic chairs that take up little space, seating groups may be preferred. If you have a large area in square meters, large meeting tables, large work tables in individual workrooms, and seating groups with viscose desks may be preferred.
Furniture preferences that offer comfort and functionality together will help you a lot in ensuring efficiency in your office. In addition, electronic devices, cables, storage devices, files, presentation materials, etc. will use throughout the office. you can create more regular working environments with furniture selections that will help organize the elements. This order that you will create will again have a positive impact on business efficiency.
Choose Healthy Seats
Considering that office employees usually sit at a desk during working hours and do their jobs, it should be noted whether the selected seats care about user health and have ergonomic solutions. Regardless of the design style you choose in the office, it should be made sure that seating groups that will have a positive impact on user health are selected.
When choosing a seat:
Seats with a structure that supports the waist and back health of the user and provides the optimal seating position on the back and neck should be preferred. Adjustable backrest, neck support, and height-adjustable seating groups that support the waist and back health can offer changes according to the user's wishes, while simultaneously providing an ergonomic system for the user in every option.
It should be noted that there are breathable fabrics on the selected furniture. These fabrics will be better for the user in terms of hygiene, and at the same time, they will provide comfortable-soft surfaces for the user due to their structure. But the thing to be careful about on these surfaces is that the softness is not more or less than necessary. Excessively soft surfaces cause the user to be buried in the seat, while excessively hard surfaces may create uncomfortable seating areas for the user.
Another important factor that needs to be taken into account when choosing furniture is hygiene. Regardless of the selected furniture surface, furniture that is easy to clean does not keep dirt on it, and is made with materials that will prevent microbe-bacterial growth should be preferred.
Customize Your Color Choices
You should pay attention to the color harmony in the furniture you will choose for your office. To ensure integrity throughout the office, it will be useful to choose 3 colors that will form the basis of your color scale first. These 3 colors can show themselves on floor-wall-ceiling coverings as well as on furniture. Even if the colors you will use in all these areas are the same, you can visually make a difference with different textures.
If you have a specialized living area in your office, floor covering, decorative wall, etc. if there are areas, you can choose more vivid and noticeable colors independent of your basic color scale to draw more attention to these areas. The thing you should keep in mind when choosing these colors is how intensely you use the color.
What does this mean?
The vivid colors that you use in this area that you want to make a focal point can engulf and distract the focal point rather than complement the area according to the usage rates. While a focal point can be created with the minimum required amount of color intensity, it is possible to design at the same time without disturbing the harmony in the rest of the office.
Lighting
Another important element that should be taken into account in the furniture you choose is the lighting elements. Lighting systems should be preferred at a level and color that will not adversely affect the eye health of employees who will spend the vast majority of the day here. In the placement of lighting elements, the angle at which the light will reach and the amount of light required in the indoor function should be analyzed. Too much lighting inside the space can create a tense atmosphere for the user, cause headaches and negatively affect eye health. If the lighting is too low, it may have effects such as depression, weakness, and fatigue on the user.
It should be borne in mind that the amount of natural lighting should be considered before considering the place of lighting elements in the design. If the maximum natural lighting is provided in the space and support is provided with lighting elements where necessary, it will be an economical solution both because the optimal light level is provided by natural means and users will be able to benefit from the positive effects of natural light on human health.
Clean Air-Clean Environment
Since dietitian offices are also organizations providing services in the health sector, “creating clean spaces” is an important design factor, as in other health institutions. It should be ensured that the air circulation inside the venue continues throughout the day and fresh air is brought to the venue at certain time intervals. The creation of clean air circulation in the room will prevent the growth of microbes and bacteria in the air. This obstacle can also manifest itself on hard surfaces.
