An ambient and functional conference space can be the key to maximizing collaborative productivity in the office. When your team gets together to form ideas, the standard meeting space should ensure comfort, privacy, and freedom from distractions and provide an ambient and elegant layout that sparks creativity. 

After all, great collaboration is one of the most important hallmarks of a successful workplace. And you can’t achieve it without designing the perfect private meeting space for your team so that you can focus on what truly matters when you meet up to put together ideas. 

If you feel overwhelmed by the idea of designing the perfect office conference space all by yourself, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Keep reading to learn more about our best indoor and outdoor meeting space ideas. 

What to Consider When Designing the Perfect Office Meeting Space

Full Meeting Room Equipment

Your conference room should be equipped with the necessities for a productive meeting. But what does this include? A standard meeting space should have comfortable, spacious desks, an ergonomic conference room chair, plenty of shelf space for paperwork, and ambient lighting that doesn’t strain the eyes. 

Other essentials to consider are technological necessities like a stable and fast internet connection, a PC, a printer, or whatever else you need for your purposes, including analog methods of note-keeping like a logbook, diary, or loose paper.

Privacy and Sound-proofing

When you are in the office room to put together your best ideas, you want to ensure you’re not at risk of being distracted by unwanted interruptions or background noise that can take away from the focus of the meeting. This is why having your meeting room sound-insulated can be an excellent idea to improve the ambiance of your meetings. In general, you want good acoustics in the conference room so that everyone can be audible and put their ideas on the table. 

Mobile office pods are a great investment for sound-proofed meeting spaces as they are designed by experts to be optimized for great acoustics and sound insulation.

Virtual Meeting Space

Since COVID-19 changed the workplace landscape, we have all become accustomed to the digital avenue of collaboration and remote work. But even if you’re holding your meetings virtually, your virtual meeting space should not receive any less attention to detail than a physical conference. 

This means having a separate area for taking conference video calls and Zoom meetings and optimizing this space for maximum functionality to bring out your best ideas. A good-sized monitor, a high-quality computer microphone and recorder, a good webcam, and a comfortable chair are some basic things you need. 

You could also consider investing in a Zoom Room or personal pod for a fully distraction-free, optimized work experience.

Outdoor Meeting Space

If you’re claustrophobic or don’t like being cooped up in a dense indoor space all day, an outdoor meeting space is always an option! The best way to design one is to invest in an outdoor office studio shed, which allows you to have a private, insulated space for working and collaborating in a private, insulated workspace while enjoying a view of nature at the same time. At Autonomous, we have a wide collection of amazing outdoor prefab accessory dwelling units that you can browse.
