Making room for new workstations in an office can be an intimidating task, especially when you’re working with a blank, open space.

Before our experts got to work, we try to get a solid understanding of our client’s goals for their new workstations. Whether they want spacious, semi-private workstations or closed private meeting rooms or if they want to create separations as a preventative health measure to limit the spread of germs and pathogens, such as Covid-19 we guide, consult and help to convert these ideas into reality at Stellar workspace solutions. Using this information, our space planning experts create a layout that adds the right amount of privacy and separation, while keeping the space open for communication and collaboration.
Stellar Acoustic Panels and Meeting Pods are a great way to add more purpose to an open space or area. An open-concept office can sometimes lack privacy and function because of its lack of closed rooms and Stellar structure and panel systems help create that structure in a non-permanent way. The great thing about panel systems is how customizable and reconfigurable they are. They come in a variety of sizes that can be pieced together to form semi-private walls that are the perfect fit for any space. They are also available in many materials, such as wood, fabric, plastic, composite sheets, and glass. We always try to ensure there is adequate provision for natural light as well as privacy in the spaces we plan.
This is the stage when we need to start planning the furniture – the reception, desks,
We outfitted each workstation with desks from This collection is designed with a timeless and professional style that lasts as long as the products themselves. To give employees more surface area and desk space, we used the which is perfect for work that is both computer based and paperwork based.
Each desk features two pedestals that are attached on both ends of the L-shape configuration. This provides ample storage that can be used for office stationery, paperwork, personal belongings, and more. Both pedestals are also equipped with a built-in locking mechanism to keep items safe and secure. Lastly, we used the task chair to provide comfortable and supportive seating in each workstation. Ignition is simply designed with a breathable mesh back that is contoured to provide lasting lumbar support. The height, seat, and tilt controls adjust the chair to fit your body for a comfortable seating experience that feels customized.

1. How do you plan space for new office workstations?
You plan space for new office workstations by creating a layout based on team size, workflow, and available office area. Start by measuring the total space and identifying how many employees need to be accommodated. Then, design a layout that allows smooth movement, proper spacing between desks, and access to common areas. Factoring in future expansion and flexible seating arrangements can further improve long-term usability.
2. Why is space planning important when adding new workstations?
Space planning is important because it ensures efficient use of available space while maintaining comfort and productivity. Without proper planning, offices can become overcrowded, leading to reduced efficiency and employee dissatisfaction. A well-planned workspace improves workflow, enhances communication, and creates a more organized environment.
3. What factors should be considered when designing workstation layouts?
You should consider employee needs, privacy, collaboration, and space availability when designing workstation layouts. It’s important to balance open areas for teamwork with quieter zones for focused tasks. Other factors like lighting, ventilation, storage, and accessibility also play a key role in creating a functional workspace.
4. How can you create privacy in open office workstations?
You can create privacy in open office workstations by using partitions, acoustic panels, or desk dividers. These solutions help reduce noise and visual distractions without completely isolating employees. Incorporating plants, flexible screens, or semi-enclosed pods can also enhance privacy while maintaining an open-office feel.
5. What is the best layout for modern office workstations?
