CHECKLISTUse this checklist as an objective guide to
evaluate if your ancillary spaces are working
at their full potential.
This space creates an environment
which supports productive work.
• Is there a surface large enough
to support a laptop?
• Is your keyboard within easy and
comfortable reach?
• Could this space support more than
computer based work?
• Does this space offer a degree of
privacy if necessary?
This space provides table space and
storage for extra ‘stuff’.
• Are you provided a convenient
place for your bag, to avoid reach
and twist?
• Do you have an appropriate space
for reference material, supplies,
and beverages within reach?
This space promotes healthy postures.
• Does the table height align with
the seating height to allow for
a comfortable place to work?
• Are you able to see the screen
without straining your neck?
• When seated, are you in a posture
which allows you to actually work?
This space provides access to necessary
power for electronic devices.
• Do you have a power outlet within
easy reach?
• Are there any electrical cords that could
cause a tripping hazard?
BETTER
POSTURE
101
Place your keyboard at a
comfortable height to
prevent excessive
bending of the wrist
Position your feet flat
on the floor, or take
advantage of a foot
rest if available.
Support the natural
curve of the lumbar, and
avoid twisting your core.

THE PROBLEM
Batteries don’t last forever -
leaving us looking for
a place to plug-in.
A SOLUTION
Bring new life to beautiful
lounge settings; make
power available at
convenient locations,
and offer adjustable
personal worksurfaces
for computer or paper-
based work.
DESIGN TIP
13
THE PROBLEM
Lounge seating is often
incorrectly paired with
tables that are too high
for comfortable work.
A SOLUTION
The average table surface
is approximately 29” high;
choose a seating solution
with a seat height of 18”
for user comfort.
Lower seat heights require
lower table heights.
A difference of 10-12”
between the seat height
and the table surface is a
good place to start.
DESIGN TIP
15
THE PROBLEM
In-between spaces often fail
to support productive work.
A SOLUTION
Invite workers to use
every inch of real estate.
Provide appropriate power
and table surfaces.
Make personal worksurfaces
available to support laptop
work.
DESIGN TIP
17
THE PROBLEM
Form over function may
result in a stylish setting,
but style alone does little to
support productivity.
A SOLUTION
Style and productivity can
coexist. Just remember to
support the things that
matter: posture, power, and
personal devices.
DESIGN TIP
19
Designing the office
as if it were a residential space
ignores the fact that the office
is an inherently different kind of place.
20
THE PROBLEM
Coffee tables are meant
for exactly that – coffee.
These tables were never
meant to be a worksurface.
A SOLUTION
Place coffee tables adjacent
to lounge seating for use as
a secondary table surface.
Provide an adjustable
laptop table, convenient
power access and maybe
even a foot rest to create
a truly useful workspace.
