Eliminate office chairs
Yes, say good riddance to all of those space eating office chairs. Standing work stations are what millennials are raving about these days. Based on research done by Tony Randall of Randall’s Office Furniture, standing work stations can even help you lose all those flabs and belly fat.
Embrace the use of bunk cubicles
Little kids will always choose bunk beds to normal beds, so it’s quite safe to assume that your office team will have a radical time working in stacked bunk cubicles than they currently do in their bland, lifeless and quite boring cubicles. Just think about of how much floor space you’ll save by stacking employees on bunks on top of each other! Horizontal working is so lifeless, let’s go bunk
Go outer space
Not only will you be famous for being the first Cebuano business to orbit the planet, you’ll be able to save a whole lot of space by defying the laws of gravity. Don’t forget to purchase bungee and parachute cords, and chains though, to make sure your stuff and staff won’t float off indefinitely into oblivion.
Use window cabinets

So why shouldn’t your staff do the same and use your window ledges as cubicles? You may very well start something new for the millennial work force to rave about.

If the tips mentioned above are neither the most realistic nor most practical, there’s one more hack that you can do instead. That is by scanning your paper documents into digital files. You can also store the originals somewhere else? True. With this method, you will no longer need as much bulky filing cabinets or storage scattered around the office floor.
And in case you’re dead serious when it comes to being able to save precious office space, here are some practical tips you may do:
- Storage space consolidation is a good option. A big amount of office storage turns into clutter that you don’t really need to keep. Stack stuff and make use of the room’s height to maximize storage space
- Buy smaller desks and utilize monitor arms to widen the office area
- Do some studies on space management to find out whether each of your staff actually needs their own workstations
- Build multi-purpose rooms that can double as both meeting rooms and work areas
- Maximize seldom used meeting room space as extra work areas
- Use bench desks rather than task desks as floor space savers
- Lessen the size of enclosed work rooms
