The Power Of Environment
No, I am not talking about global warming here, although that has
had an impact on design. I am talking about the office space that you work in

this is important and give some examples of office interior design that is so
inspirational it will even put you in a good mood – and you do not even work
there!

As you can see from some of the inspirational images
attached, it is not just the layout and design of these offices that catches
your eye, a lot of the time it is a specific piece of furniture or a well
placed sculpture/art piece that really brings the whole room together and turns
it from an average work space to one that has that WOW factor.
