Your office might need a breath of fresh air in the decoration department, and if you are like most people, you might turn to the walls for inspiration. Pictures, new paint, or upgraded trim can give a room a new identity, but there is a much simpler solution that takes much less time: acrylic divider panels. These multifunctional devices can add a stylish touch to your office interior while providing functional benefits.
Whether you want to create an upscale concept or a comfortable natural retreat, a few divider panels might be all you need. Strategic placement allows you to use them for more than just their visuals, so think about not just your aesthetic goals but also how you intend to lay them out in your space. We’ve gathered some of the most stylish ways to use acrylic divider panels in office interiors.
Making Your Own Spaces
Divider panels are often displayed in a straight line, creating pathways or cutting a room in half. However, you can get more creative than this! Consider forming cubes, triangles, or diamonds out of divider panels to create standalone “rooms” within a room.
Depending on the type of panel you select, you may be able to build a naturalistic centerpiece contained within transparent panels or a secluded getaway in the middle of a busy office with opaque designs.
Fostering Privacy
Acrylic dividers are often used primarily as privacy panels, and for good reason. They can inhibit sound dispersion, and their customizable patterns or colors allow you to create a design that keeps a space private based on your office’s colors and styles. If you need a space where clients feel undisturbed or sensitive information is spread out on desks, acrylic divider panels can provide a safe haven.
Creating Color Zones
Divider panels offer more options than just transparent or opaque. Middle grounds, such as frosted panels, are great candidates for color manipulation. Place a colored light behind a semi-transparent panel to diffuse its glow and create an eye-catching installation.
Thanks to color psychology, creating a glow this way can transform the office’s atmosphere. Soft colors, including light blue and warm yellow, can make the space feel calm, safe, and open. In contrast, vivid choices such as red can spur employees to action, inspiration, and faster response time.
Building Textures
Acrylic divider panels need not be glossy sheets; they are available in a variety of textures and shapes. The visual appeal of a panel of variegated hollow circles or elegant, wavelike patterns keeps your office in style, but it also contributes a little-known benefit: noise reduction.
Textured surfaces are overlooked in office spaces, but they can inhibit sound waves. As sound bounces off smooth surfaces, such as walls, it reflects back into the room, increasing the volume and potentially even compromising sensitive information.
Textured acrylic dividers interrupt this process by stopping the sound waves among the crags and divots of the textured pattern. Your employees and guests will thank you for a space that is more comfortable and less exhausting to exist within.
Pushing Your Brand
Because divider panels can be printed with any design you can imagine, you have plenty of opportunity to leverage them as beacons for your brand. A bright logo in the center of a panel catches the eye instantly and helps to keep your business top of mind for anyone who moves through the space.
If you would like something a little more creative, use your brand’s colors as highlights or accents on your divider panels. You could also share important company milestones, awards, or values and mottos directly on the panels in elegant font.
Informing Your Customers
Acrylic divider panels might primarily be for your employees, creating separated areas for work and privacy. However, they can simultaneously assist customers if you are strategic about placement and design. Consider custom panels with custom printing that shows the office’s or building’s map.
Use dividers with arrows or movement-influenced patterns to direct visitors to their intended destination. Print words directly on the panel to demarcate specific areas of the office, such as reception. Making your guests’ experience simpler and clearer can encourage them to return and think favorably of their visit.
