The goal of every home and office is to create an inviting atmosphere.  This can be done in several different ways.  An area’s design aesthetic can make a break the functionality of a space and can make something look modern or dated.  This raises the challenge of designing a space that is functional, stylish, and can withstand the test of time. 

Function

The most important goal of any space is for it to be useful and to encourage productivity.  This rule applies to the office, the kitchen,...

The last several years have deemphasis the importance of having an elegant and comfortable office to work in.  Companies started and developed remote access allowing people to work from home.  As society moves further away from the COVID-19 pandemic, these same companies are once again realizing the benefit of commercial workplaces.  Remote work is nice and convenient but there are tangible benefits to being in a dedicated workspace and seeing your coworkers in person.  As the workplace environm...

In today’s economy many consumers buy products without seeing them first.  E-commerce has changed the buying and selling experience in almost every way.  The days of small local shops are in the past, the days of large mega stores are winding down, and the era of online ordering continues to expand.  It is easy to make purchasing mistakes when ordering from online retailers, but there are a few simple steps you can take to ensure you make a wise purchasing decision.

Summer is here, and with it comes vacation season.  Most people have already taken a trip and some families are even planning a second one.  Vacations provide us a chance to relax and recover from the stresses of normal life, but poor planning can often lead to our return being far more unpleasant than it needs to be.

 Rushing Out the Door

All of us have rushed out of the office at some point in our lives.  We are in a hurry to get somewhere or maybe we are just in a hurry to shrink our person...

It is important to pay attention to what is being talked about in the news.  What is happening in the government, our local communities, in the economy, and state legislation does impact the decisions we make.  However, it is also equally important to not let headlines be too big of a factor in making business decisions.  Worrying about the actions of organizations and people beyond our control can sometimes lead us to make poor choices.  Every company and individual must find the perfect balanc...

There is a delicate balance between price and quality.  The goal of every consumer is to get the most bang for the buck when making a purchase.  However, there is a point where a deal is too good to be true.  All products are not made the same and paying more money for a longer-lasting product often ends up being the best value.

How we live our lives and how we spend money is a clear reflection of our own personal preferences and styles.  When it comes to inclination there is no right or wrong, there is no good or bad, there is only personal taste.  This rule applies to our workspaces.  Some of us prefer simple and basic setups, while others want all the fancy bells and whistles.  The only things that matter when it comes to a workspace is if you are comfortable and does the space function efficiently?
