Furnished vs. Unfurnished Office Spaces
Furnished vs. Unfurnished Office Spaces-
After a long day’s work, we return home to unwind, relax, and look forward to a fresh start in the morning. Many people (including business owners) dread going back to a place that’s stressful and, overall, unpleasant. It is hence important to know the importance of an office and understand the environment we’re looking to turn into a home away from home.
When starting a new business, one has a lot of decisions to take. From hiring a reliable, dedicated, hard-working team that’s available round the clock to choosing where to set up your office, you will have quite a few decisions to make- and they won’t be easy.
One of the main concerns of any new business owner is whether to rent a furnished or unfurnished office space. Just like every coin has two sides to it, similarly even these two kinds of offices have their pros and cons.
While choosing an office, one must factor in several things before concluding. That can mean the time you have or would like to give into setting it up, the amount of money you choose and have to spend, and how customized, you’d like your office to be.
Let’s Take A Look At What A Furnished Office Is:
Many real estate companies these days have furnished offices to rent out to those on the lookout. As the name suggests, furnished offices have readily available basic furniture such as tables and chairs, cabinets and more. Most furnished offices also have a basic professional looking décor- think white painted walls and a couple of paintings hanging on them- along with what one can refer to as a “kitchen corner” that may have a coffee machine for employees to grab their morning cups of coffees from that also multitasks by offering sustainability and freshness to team members throughout the day.
However, as everything has its advantages and disadvantages, so do the well-put-together furnished offices have:
Pros:
Professionalism: For one who seeks a basic professional setup for their office, furnished offices can do the job for you. White backgrounds, aesthetic interiors, beverage offerings and ergonomically reliable seating arrangements are just a few of these offices’ offerings.
Save Time: Furnished offices are just right for those who want to save the time it takes to set up an office. Since they already have most features that an office must include, all you have to do is hop in and start working. Also, many such offices are fully serviced, making things even more convenient. Now you don’t have to worry about your office’s cleanliness and maintenance quotient since these serviced offices are there for exactly those reasons.
Cons:
Expensive: Since these offices come on a silver platter, they are more expensive than unfurnished ones. These are ready-to-hop-in workspaces that don’t need you to take time to set up or purchase your furniture for the same, but they do come with a comparatively higher price tag.
What Are Unfurnished Offices?
Unfurnished offices, as the name suggests, do not have any furnishings, interiors or decors. They are a blank canvas, ready for you to tailor-make it just the way you want to.
Let’s now take a look at the advantages and the disadvantages of unfurnished offices:
Pros:
Personalized: Since they are bare shells, you get to set them up just the way you like, and if you’ve dreamt of having a particular kind of office, these blank canvases give you a chance to do that. These offices allow you to give your office a personalized touch and furnish and decorate it just how you want it to. Want modern interiors? Give it a splash of yellow and purchase contemporary furniture. Want a warm, rustic look? Head to a vintage store. Whatever you want and however you want it to be, is your call.
Cons:
Time taken: You cannot just hop into an unfurnished office. You have to take the time to set up shop, which can take up to days. However, if you have the time to offer to your workplace to make it feel like your 2nd home, unfurnished offices can make for a great choice!
When talking about office spaces in Bangalore, Hyderabad and other metropolitan cities, people often prefer furnished ones. That’s because the number of start-ups these cities have is on the rise, and they need convenient spaces with basic interiors and already existing features to work at since output over here is given priority. People often hire furnished office spaces and use the amenities provided, such as printers, Wi-Fi, faxing, etc.; they don’t have to bother maintaining or cleaning these places.
Business owners of start-ups are always on their toes and need to focus more on their business over the set-up of their office space. However, on the contrary, bigger businesses must set up offices of their own in the way they desire them to be due to their need to showcase some power and an image that drives potential clients to show an interest in their business.
Either way, these two kinds of offices are unique and have different benefits to offer to different groups of people.
