Do you know what design concept will be on everyone's lips this fall? According to our office furniture distribution network, everyone is raving about resimercial design!

In preparation for the return to the office (scheduled in January 2022 for most), several SMEs are already investing in comfortable office design. 

So why are we talking about this? Because our acoustic cabins meet all the criteria for a smooth return with a commercial design flavour. So...like our clients Spiria and Bench Accounting, try Kubicule phone booths! 

They also are charming and incredibly practical (according to our sources, of course).

What does resimercial design eat in winter? 

Resimercial is the meeting point between residential and commercial. 

It’s the idea that we can continue offering an elevated quality of life in the office while having a more welcoming, friendly and comfortable style. It's a design that makes us feel at home, like being in your living room!

This year, warm textures, soft colours, and wood will be favoured. The same goes for plants, plush couches, cushions, rugs and ottomans.

Resimercial design is said to help reduce stress, increase productivity, and stimulate creativity! Why do without?

How can we recreate resimercial design with our phone booths?

Our acoustic cabins are ideal for recreating a decor that makes us feel at home. How? In 5 ways! 

1. Keep your personal bubble.

During these (long!) months of COVID, we have created a real work-at-home bubble. So imagine going back to the office and having no escape, even having to work in an open space all the time! It seems a bit drastic to us.

People have become accustomed to working in a more secluded and calming space. And that's precisely what we offer at Kubicule. Whether it's our standard or premium phone booth, close the door, smile and work in your comfort bubble.

2. Concentrate: silence is the new credence. 

Not only are we used to our personal bubble, but we are also used to that bubble being silent (like when the kids aren’t home!) We’ve forgotten what it’s like to work in open spaces with sounds coming from every which way. How did we do it back then? Well, our productivity probably wasn’t at the top of its game. In fact, there are many proven benefits of a quiet or silent office. 

3. Work seated… or standing!

Another trend that gained tremendous popularity during the pandemic is the adjustable desk! Sometimes sitting, sometimes standing, we need a truly flexible desk to relax our legs. 

According to this CNN study, our sedentary jobs (like sitting in a chair full time!) create several problems, such as chronic pain and an increased risk of developing certain diseases. Additionally, working while standing reduces distractions and boosts energy.

4. A cozy and comfortable atmosphere

At home, we appreciate a cozy and enveloping environment. So, why not reproduce the same feeling in the office?

To create a calm and quiet atmosphere, our acoustic felt works to offer both softness and silence. As a bonus, our premium phone booths are available in 8 colours to better suit your tastes and your corporate image (we also have several colour choices for the exterior cladding and the floor). 

And if not, the lighting in each acoustic booth is ideal for working. No more buzzing neon lights that give us a headache. Here, we are at peace!

The standard phone booth comes with an anti-fatigue mat to take care of your feet when you forget to! We often don't consider the importance of our feet at work, so they deserve to be pampered!

Finally, the cabins are equipped with an ergonomic work table, ideal for good posture at work.

5. Inclusive and tailored to you

Inclusion is now a big concern for businesses - and that's great news! Several actions must be put in place before everyone feels included.

But already, the acoustic cabins are going in the right direction:

• Provide a more secluded and safe place for those with health concerns

• Provide a quiet environment and pleasant lighting for those who need to be alone and relaxed to work better

• Provide a space suitable for people in wheelchairs thanks to the standard acoustic cabin

That's it, you are (almost) equipped to create a great office with Resimercial decor!

Because aside from the acoustic booths, there are plenty of ways to make your employees feel at home.

Biophilic design, light, varied spaces, adjustable desks, ergonomic chairs or a communal kitchen? The sky's the limit!
