They put a lot more thought into their office design than simply painting walls.  Their interior, although very elegant, was just lacking something to make it special and stand out.<\/p>\n<p>There were some other considerations. How do you facilitate intimacy when designing the interior of very large office spaces ? How do you maximise efficiency of using each square metre ? Is there a danger in trading efficiency for intimacy ?<\/p>\n<p>They came up with a solution.<\/p>\n<p>They decided they would apply whiteboard paint on the walls throughout their meeting areas and public spaces. Next, they approached <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jurajhubinsky.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Juraj Hibinsky<\/a> who designed the themes on the walls. Check these out for inspiration for your office.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smartersurfaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/millenium-dry-erase-surface-with-whiteboard-paint-white.jpg\" alt=\"Millenium dry erase surface with whiteboard paint white\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-75675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartersurfaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/millenium-dry-erase-surface-with-whiteboard-paint-white.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/smartersurfaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/millenium-dry-erase-surface-with-whiteboard-paint-white-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smartersurfaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/millenium-dry-erase-surface-with-whiteboard-paint-white-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/smartersurfaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/millenium-dry-erase-surface-with-whiteboard-paint-white-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smartersurfaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/millenium-dry-erase-surface-with-whiteboard-paint-white-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/smartersurfaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/millenium-dry-erase-surface-with-whiteboard-paint-white-720x480.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Workspaces for Collaboration<\/h3>\n<p>With walls converted into productive surfaces for writing (thank-you Juraj !), the previously unloved and unused walls transformed entire spaces into high demand areas for group brainstorming and design exercises as well as traditional meetings.<\/p>\n<p>The absence of doors created the right corporate and working spirit, and gave added advantages of easy communication and interaction.<\/p>\n<p>Millennium\u2019s work environment is now a perfect space for work councils, meetings and huddles.

No problem. Millennium have also created ideal locations for independent work to prevent distractions and to facilite peace and quiet.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Telephone booths\u2019 have desks that face away from the rest of the office to provide both privacy and a workplace background.<\/p>\n<p>The kitchenette and dining area may be separate from the office,  but this hasn\u2019t stopped then from being a popular working or meeting location used throughout the day by staff.<\/p>\n<p>The dining room is also used frequently for corporate events. Even the utility room can be used as a collaborative area.<\/p>\n<p>Millennium are the perfect example of how easy it is to increase worker engagement just by simply changing how your office looks with one innovative product like whiteboard paint<\/p>\n<p>It can really make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>How can you enliven your work space ?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smartersurfaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/millenium-dry-erase-surface-using-smarter-surfaces-whiteboard-paint.jpg\" alt=\"Millenium dry erase surface using Smarter Surfaces whiteboard paint\" width=\"666\" height=\"1000\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-75676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartersurfaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/millenium-dry-erase-surface-using-smarter-surfaces-whiteboard-paint.jpg 666w, https:\/\/smartersurfaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/millenium-dry-erase-surface-using-smarter-surfaces-whiteboard-paint-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Smarter Surfaces we believe that the design of your office can really impact the way you work.<br \/>\nBut why just take our word for it?
