Parquet in the office, why not?
Parquet is not only the ideal solution for your home. It can also be employed in other environments such as offices, shops and commercial activities in general.
The office flooring is subject to very high, continuous
foot traffic,
rubbing of the wheels of the chairs and to the
stresses of a furniture for the archives with a considerable specific weight.
For this reason, the choice of the floor is one of the most complex when designing your work environment. From this decision
the final effect, the feeling you want to convey and the relaxed atmosphere depend on that you want to create.
Parquet in the office: reasons for a choice
When we spend a lot of time inside a room, we need to make sure it is convenient, welcoming and comfortable. The appearance of the environment in which you work can affect the performance and mood, but also on the image you want to give to the business or to your own role. It is no coincidence that many important structures feature flooring in wood. A parquet in the office is synonymous with
professionalism,
class and
prestige. Nothing comes left to chance, let alone the aesthetics of the company.
Opting for parquet allows you to create harmony in the room, reducing the chaos that often characterizes the workplace. In the office, wood has all the advantages of this material ensures in terms of
thermal and acoustic insulation. And a professional knows well how important it is to work in quiet and peaceful places, as well as furnished according to your taste.
Which wood essence to use depends on the tone, more classic or more contemporary, that it is intended to confer to the office.
Parquet for a classic office
A parquet for a
classic office must have three characteristics: elegance, warmth, charm. For this reason, both
oak – sturdy, durable and customizable – and
teak can be used. Solid wood furniture with traditional lines is fine combine with the natural grain of both wood species.
For bright environments, you can opt for a floor in
darker shades, from chocolate brown to black. In small offices with little natural light, light-colored parquet floors are the best to give a feeling of breadth. An
Italian and Hungarian herringbone installation, in combination with light shades, adds even more charm and movement in the environment.
Parquet for a modern office
Teak, precious and with its typical brownish color, can be the perfect choice for a
modern office, flanked by doors with inserts, bookcases, cupboards and desks. Its
resistance to scratches, humidity and wear are the added value of this essence. For an office with a contemporary style, a light parquet flooring is recommended, combined with a herringbone installation, to mitigate the glacial effect with glamor and good taste, and with Nordic-style furnishings, for a refined and welcoming result.
Types of office
The style of the parquet acquires greater importance in the case of
home offices, household items that have become widespread in the last two years. In this case, it is possible to dare more on the aesthetic effect that parquet creates with the walls and furnishings.
Conversely, in traditional offices open to the public, i.e. in anticipation of frequent visits by
customers and partners, there are also other characteristics to consider: practicality and functionality. What is certain is that, in the office as well as at home in the home office, a parquet always manages to hit the mark, precisely because it is able to combine appeal and durability, without forgetting the ease of care, cleaning and maintenance with most products suitable.
