Rethink Essential Technologies
Consider what kind of technology your team needs to succeed. Computers, high-speed internet, printers, and telephones should be your starting point. Figure out what will work best for them, and make provisions for any upgrades they may need as they go along.

Make sure everyone can find the right fit by choosing movable desks and chairs. Inspect the furnishings to make sure it blends in with the overall design motif.
Spend money on office furnishings that have several uses. Examples of what you can do are to add file and storage cabinets, comfy seats and workstations, sofas, and coffee tables that are good for chit-chatting. Make sure to provide couches to create a productive and happy workplace.
Zones for Different Activities
Consider setting up areas for various tasks like team projects and virtual meetings. Provide outlets that are easy to use and keep supplies close at hand for optimal convenience. Create locations for the team to gather during breaks so they may eat snacks, talk, and unwind.
Add a specialized conference room with multimedia capabilities, a collaborative space with comfortable lounge furniture, and a vertical sliding whiteboard system. Make sure to have an individual work zone with movable computer workstations. This is because team members can switch up where they work depending on the project at hand.
