The 5 Best Small Office Design Ideas

IC Corporate Interiors

Above all office designs, it seems that small office design ideas can be difficult to curate, sometimes impossible. However, this doesn’t have to be the case.

In fact, there are so many effective small office design ideas — it’s just about finding a solution to suit your office space. At IC Corporate Interiors, we specialise in designing functional, sophisticated and ergonomic office spaces, customised to suit the shape of your office and the needs of your staff.

As we know that inspiration is everything, we’ve decided to share 5 of the best small office design ideas below.

Get Smart With Storage

In small office spaces, storage is everything. Therefore, when designing your small office space, ensure that getting perfectly custom-made storage is a priority.

As organisation is key to helping your employees be productive, providing them with ample storage to house the tools they need to complete their work is essential.

IC Corporate interiors can source storage options that fit the shape of your office, even matching it to your brand colours. When working with your designer to create storage solutions, consider fitting out your office with open wall shelves, multipurpose furniture and cabinet integration.

Better yet, ask your employees for input as to what storage they require to complete their work effectively.

Depreciation – Everything You Need to Know

The older any asset gets, the more likely it will lose its value. Even with the best of efforts to maintain and care for your investment. Is your car worth the same as when it was brand new? Unless it’s a classic car, it probably has depreciated in value.

When it comes to your Australian investment property, depreciation is a non-cash expenditure. Simply put, you are allowed to claim a tax deduction on the parts of your property investment Brisbane that are expected to ‘wear out’ over time.

Depreciation is determined as reducing the value of an asset over its estimated useful economic life. It is a tax deduction, not a write-off.

However, the rules around depreciation allow you to claim the perceived loss in value of the property against your taxable income.

By using depreciation to offset your taxable income, many Australian investors have reduced the holding costs of owning an investment property.

If You Have it, Claim it – Property Depreciation

Property investors looking for ways to maximise the cash flow from their investments will typically factor depreciation into their cash flow analysis. Some investors are either unaware of property depreciation or fail to claim so. If you want to claim depreciation, you need a report prepared by a Quantity Surveyor. They are specialists in this area and set out the schedule of what you can claim as depreciation.

The ATO allows owners to claim depreciation on the structure of the building (capital works) and certain mechanical assets (plant and equipment).

Capital Works Deductions

Capital works deduction (Division 43) may be applicable for:

Buildings or extensions (alterations + improvements).

Alterations and improvements to the leased building and shop fit-outs and leasehold improvements.

Structural improvements like fences and driveways.

Earthworks for protection of the environment.

Why do Aussies Move to UK? | Overseas Packers and Shippers

“Why do Aussies move to UK?” is a question that many Australians and even British people tend to ask. For years, the UK has been a popular relocation country for many Australians seeking a change of scenery. While it seems strange that Aussies would want to move to a less sunny country so far from home, there are many benefits to moving to the UK that make the cold weather worth ignoring.

At Overseas Packers & Shippers, we’ve been moving Australians around the world for 40 years, and the UK still remains our number one relocation destination. Therefore, we’re sharing some of the top reasons as to why Aussies choose to move to the UK.

Travel Opportunities

One of the best things about living in the UK is its proximity to Europe. In just a few hours by plane, you can fly from London to Spain, Greece, France or the Netherlands and naturally, shorter flight times also mean cheaper flights. In Australia, however, it can take 5 hours to fly to the other side of the country, and at least 20 hours to fly to any European country. Needless to say, Australia can feel very far removed from the rest of the world at times, especially if you have family living in the UK or Europe. Therefore, living in the UK means you can explore some parts of the world much easier and at a lower cost.

5 Signs You Need A New Office Design

Making the decision to renovate and come up with a new office design can be difficult: how do you know if you really need it? While everyone would love to redesign their office cosmetically, there is so much more to consider when figuring out if you actually need a renovation.

At IC Corporate Interiors, we are office design specialists and can help you tastefully update your office space according to the needs of your staff, your branding and your budget. As experts in office interiors, we’re sharing below the 5 signs you need a new office design.

Outdated Office Furniture And Facilities

One of the main reasons you might need to make some changes to your office space is if your furniture and facilities are outdated. Over time, due to general wear and tear, office furniture such as couches, chairs and desks begin to look worn. Even if the furniture might still be functional, it’s important to still consider replacing items that are worn. As we all know, first impressions count and if clients or prospective employees visit your office and are greeted with scratched, dirty furniture; they may be less than impressed. This is why, when necessary, it’s a good idea to update your office furniture and invest in some timeless, good quality products.

Don’t make resolutions, make habits – turning vision into real actions

With the new year we are apprehensive and hopeful of what 2022 will bring for all of us. For the last two years Melbourne residents have been coping with unexpected circumstances brought about by the pandemic. It has indeed been a challenge on striking a balance between isolating ourselves and maintaining a positive attitude. Like a new opportunity or new relationship, a new year brings unlimited possibilities to do something positive and genuinely adding quality to our lives.

Resolutions Vs. Habits

Have you frantically tried to make resolutions to improve and discipline your lifestyle and failed miserably after a few days? The easiest way to make this work is to convert your resolution into a regular habit. Resolutions are like short-term investments and creating habits is like a long-term stable investment.

Habits are defined as the usual way of behaving. It is only one focused action that creates a good habit and opens the gate to subsequent future good actions. To inculcate new habits such that they become our default responses we need to practice the desired behavior regularly and frequently.
