HOW TO CREATE AN INSPIRING BREAKROOM
As the talent wars continue, offering employees a breakroom to unwind and
connect is critical. Consider these on-trend ways to create an environment that
inspires creativity, boosts productivity and enhances the employee experience.
HOW TO CHOOSE A BREAKROOM LAYOUT
BREAKROOM SIZE
If you don’t already have a space selected, it’s important to determine an ideal
breakroom size. General guidance for breakroom design is 75 square feet plus 25
square feet per seated person. That seems like a lot, but people generally
expect about a 5x5 area of personal space to relax without feeling overcrowded.
DESIGN FEATURES
Due to budget constraints and space restrictions, it's important to determine
priorities for your breakroom. Consider starting the design or redesign process
by asking employees what breakroom features they prefer. Regardless of your
breakroom’s specific attributes, you’ll want to ensure adequate seating, kitchen
basics like microwaves, refrigerators, coffee makers, and toasters, and access
to power outlets and charging stations for electronic devices.
One popular solution to device charging is seating with integrated USB and
3-prong charging outlets. These chairs make it easier for your team to charge,
use the device, and relax at the same time. You also won’t see wires
crisscrossing the floor.
OTHER LAYOUT IDEAS
If space and weather permit, consider an outdoor breakroom or including digital
detox zones for employees to recharge without the distraction of technology. For
a cutting-edge breakroom layout, you could also consider:
* A breakroom entertainment zone. This could include games, TV screens or
reading corners. We even see more modern or tech-industry folks populating
their breakrooms with video games and gaming chairs.
* Bringing the outside in. Including natural elements like plants or natural
light can create a relaxing environment. For a lower maintenance option, you
can go with artificial greenery.
* Bulletin boards make an excellent addition to an office breakroom.
CHOOSING BREAKROOM FURNITURE
FURNITURE TYPES
While breakroom seating and tables are non-negotiables, there are several other
breakroom furniture types to consider. Storage cabinets, coat racks, acoustic
dividers and other furniture items can enhance your breakroom and give employees
a reprieve from the hours of sitting at their desks.
FURNITURE STYLES
Whether you're designing a breakroom that feels modern, industrial, traditional
or something else, it’s important to choose a breakroom furniture color scheme
and aesthetic that aligns with your company’s brand and promotes a positive
atmosphere. Warm colors (reds, oranges, yellow) are said to stimulate energy and
happiness while cool colors (blues, greens, purples) are soothing and calming.
OTHER FURNITURE IDEAS
To meet changing needs and preferences, consider flexible furniture that can be
stacked, stored, and rearranged. Here are a few more ideas for breakroom office
furniture:
* Comfortable seating. This includes less-common breakroom options like lounge
chairs or cushioned benches.
* Breakroom storage cabinets are essential for storing plates, utensils,
kitchen supplies and more.
* Space dividers can provide more options for your breakroom.
TEAM ACTIVITIES
Breakrooms are common venues for team activities. If you’d like to design a
multipurpose breakroom, consider an open layout that encourages free movement
and versatile seating that can be easily rearranged. Collaborative features like
whiteboards, pin-up boards, and technology integration also make great
additions.
TAKE FOOD AND DRINK INTO CONSIDERATION
DURABLE, WASHABLE FURNITURE
While sinks, refrigerators and microwaves are important in well-functioning
breakrooms, it’s also important to consider furnishings that support these uses.
Furnishings that are finished in polyurethane, often called faux leather, and
vinyl are popular choices for breakroom furniture upholstery as both options are
easy to clean.
The Rivet collection is a great example here.
OTHER IDEAS
Break up typical four-top tables with high-top tables and barstools,
lounge-style seating options, or both. Mixing and matching table heights creates
a dynamic space - tall tables are great for quick connects, while standard
height options invite longer, more personal conversations.
To ensure employees can seamlessly use the breakroom to eat and drink, you may
also consider:
* Utensils and tableware. Plates, bowls and utensils for eating and cups or
mugs for beverages make for an easy-to-use breakroom.
* Water station. Whether it’s a simple sink or a water dispenser or water
cooler, ensuring employees have access to drinking water is key.
RECREATION
Breakrooms can be the antidote to burnout, offering a venue for board or card
games, foosball, pool tables, gaming consoles or even yoga. Once you have a feel
for your employees’ recreational preferences, you can tailor the breakroom
accordingly. Consider using furniture, rugs, or portable partitions to clearly
define and separate areas for different activities.
As you embark on your breakroom design project, it’s wise to ask employees what
features they prefer. Then, survey your breakroom’s layout, furniture and
desired uses to design a breakroom that helps to attract and retain top talent.
