If you don't have a designated break room in your commercial space and you need to create an area where people can sit and eat, or store their food, you can use a small unused office or even an unused cabinet. There are just a few things you need to add to the space to make it feel like a break room.
The materials you choose and items you put into the space will make taking a break and eating in the office easier for your staff that don't want to leave. Here are a few things you want to consider.
Add Cabinetry
Wood cabinetry in the space is an easy way to get storage while adding an aesthetically pleasing product. Wood cabinets have the following features:
- Affordable
- Easy to install
- Different layout options
- Different stains and styles
- High quality
There are many types of wood you can consider for wood cabinets. The cheaper stock quality options will be composed of a solid wood base and particle board cabinet doors, while the highest quality cabinets are made of maple and cherry wood.
The cabinets add extra storage for the business, and you can put paper plates, napkins, and other items in the cabinets. For the top of the cabinetry, you'll want some type of countertop on top. This way you can put out a coffee pot, supplies for eating, and more.
Install a Refrigerator
Get a refrigerator and freezer combo for the space. This allows you to keep beverages cold, store lunches, and have other items you may want to have available like ice for injuries or any emergencies. Talk with an appliance installation professional to make sure you have the proper ventilation in the space. If you can't have a full-sized option, there are many smaller sizes that can go in any space.
Get a small table and chairs. Everyone may not want to eat or utilize the break room, but if there are a few options for them to sit in the area they may. The size of what you can get will depend on how much space is left after the installation of the cabinetry and the refrigerator.
Providing a break room for your employees is important. Look at the space and figure out what cabinet configuration will be the best option to get optimal storage, and provide a nice place for your staff to relax.
