How to create a happier work environment in 5 steps

1. Disguise your office so it doesn't look like one

Crabb says he worked with a client in the gaming industry which had an office more like an insurance centre than a funky global brand. His answer? Transforming the space to make it more industrial and raw.

“An overly corporate looking office screams anxiety the moment you walk through the door. Transforming your space into something a bit ‘artist’s studio meets lounge’ will change the mind-set and make staff feel more at ease.

“You can make a space look of things. We’ve stripped back offices to the structure revealing air conditioning ductwork and cables overhead as well as adding surface finishes such as micro concrete and wood floors with a reclaimed look.”
