In order to support employee wellbeing, ensuring that your workplace has a calming breakout space is essential. Not only will it offer a welcome break from the working day, but it communicates to your employees that their welfare matters. So, how do you achieve this through design?
Provide Comfortable Furnishings
When it comes to furnishing your office breakout area, it’s important to consider the atmosphere you want to create. You want to encourage your employees to relax by making the space inviting, so providing comfortable furniture that allows them to wind down will definitely help to do this.
At Glenside we understand the importance of furniture in all areas of your workplace. We help to ensure the comfort of your breakout space furniture provides enough support and movement for your employees whilst offering a wide variety of fabrics.
Use Pastel Colours
There have been many studies which point to the effects of colour on the human brain, so if it’s a relaxing and calming environment you want to achieve, then pastel tones are the right way to go. As tempting as vibrant colours might be, they can often come across as slightly overpowering, so using them in your office breakout area wouldn’t be advised.

Selecting the right calming colours for your breakout space doesn’t have to be a difficult task. At Glenside, our team of talented designers have the knowledge and collaborative approach to help you find the colour scheme that’s right for your business–helping you achieve the perfect breakout area in your workplace.
Create an Open-Plan Space
If a separate room for a breakout space isn’t available to you, then utilising your office’s open-plan design can work in your favour. Not only will it create an inviting atmosphere, but by integrating it into a hybrid space you’ll encourage your team to embrace their different styles of working and to lean into collaboration.
At Glenside, we aim to create flexible and positive breakout spaces to support strong colleague relationships. This is something we achieve through taking the time to get to know your team and analysing your working practises as part of our trusted
Glenside approach.
Whether it’s a brand new breakout area you’re looking for or you just wish to refurbish your current space, Glenside have years of trusted knowledge and experience to deliver exceptional results. Get in touch now to find out more.
