The TransAction typicals offered by Mayline provide a simple approach to modular business furniture needs. TransAction is available in a wide variety of laminate finishes and offers one of the most comprehensive collections of technology intensive furniture available.

In the long run Princeton is about doing more with less budget! We love this line for the ability to build out from you, rather than an outer work wall. For example, Princeton will allow you to build an incredible workstation configuration in less than 50 square feet, what other furniture line can do that?

Back from Vacation, and needing some home office inspiration

If you think Mondays are bad, what about a Monday after spending a week in the beautiful Outer Banks of NC?

It's hard for me to not wistfully daydream about how just yesterday morning, I was sipping coffee on the beach.  ...sigh...  Anyway, it's back to work and I definitely could use some pretty, organized home offices to help inspire me to be more productive.

The gray is such a nice background for everything.

Contemporary Office Furniture Trends to Watch

Manufacturers like OFM, Inc., Global Total Office, and Mayline Furniture continue to make huge contributions to the world of modern office furniture with incredibly cool collections that won't break your budget.

For a long time it was thought that modern meant expensive! This is no longer the case. Several of the hottest lines on the market in terms of modern office furniture are actually quite affordable. In years past, wood veneer was by far the most sought out style of office furnishing. Today laminate casegoods have really taken over. The level of quality has risen significantly. Most associated laminate furniture with being cheap and often unprofessional. Now, In most cases, laminate executive furniture is more durable and much more easily maintained. The selection of finishes is much better as well, allowing consumers to truly customize their space.

Another hot trend to keep an eye on is the use of metal and glass in the workplace. Especially when it comes to conference furniture, metal and glass are really taking over. Lightweight metals and tempered glass offer a really modern style that is sweeping boardrooms across the nation. Look for lines like Transaction and OFM conference tables to be popping up all over! These tables are extremely well made and will not break your budget. The Transaction series is actually technology intensive and can be configured to be one of the most advanced conference tables on the market. Just like with home kitchens, that industrial look of metal and commercial grade materials just seems to be hot!

Modular furniture is an industry buzz word that has been around forever. Consumers are really just starting to pick up on the benefits of investing in modular products for their business. Using modular workstations will allow you to reconfigure your space to meet your needs. This is especially beneficial as it allows you to add-on or enhance a workspace if you move or change offices.

It's also important to provide your employees with a functional and efficient workspace without breaking your companies budget. In today's post we will cover 3 simple ways to modernize your office without breaking your budget.

1.) Ergonomic Dual Screen Monitor Arms

Monitor arms have been around for quite awhile now. Personally, I think they are the greatest thing to happen to offices since chairs with wheels! All joking aside, dual screen monitor arms allow you to pull up multiple screens at a time. They eliminate the need to constantly open and close screens. They are easily rotated to allow customers to view digital charts, pictures, and much more. Dual screen monitor arms are an excellent way to modernize all types of offices. From car dealerships to health care and doctor's offices. Dual screen monitors will enhance your space and your efficiency. The average price of a Dual screen monitor arm is around $200.

2.) Modern Executive Desks

I'll admit, that replacing all of the desks in an office is not typically budget friendly. However, there are popular lines of casegoods on the market that will help you accomplish this with ease. You just have to know where to look. Manufacturers like Mayline, Cherryman Industries, and Global Total Office offer several modern furniture lines that will provide a look of cohesion throughout your office. If you are still using old wooden desks with glass tops and pictures underneath, it's time to upgrade! Nothing against traditional office furniture, but for those looking to come into the modern age... it simply won't cut it. For that reason replacing your offices desking is an essential part of modernizing your workplace. Using affordable, and most importantly matching casegoods from manufacturers like the ones listed above will have you in the 21st century in no time!

3.) Mesh Back Office Chairs

By far, mesh back office chairs are our top seller. The average price for a quality mesh back chair with useful ergonomic features is around $150. Most come with lifetime warranties and are truly built to last. Quality seating manufacturers like Flash Furniture, Offices To Go, and RFM pride themselves on offering modern mesh back office chairs that will really set the feel for your office. Mesh back chairs have been on the market for some time now. They are definitely not the only style of chair that will modernize your space. However, because the backs are not completely covered in high end fabrics, they save you money. In fact, the chair pictured in the post is only $89.99! Mesh back chairs are without a doubt the best form of seating to provide a modern look without breaking the bank.

Shopping For Modern Office Furniture On A Budget

Modern office furniture is far and away the the most popular style of furniture in the industry. Often, the latest trends in this realm will be high priced due to the advanced technology. Let's face it, anything new, exciting, and cutting edge tends to cost consumers more of there hard earned money. That being said, I wanted to take the time to highlight some respected manufacturers that offer modern office furniture at affordable prices.

Some of the office furniture industries leading manufacturers consist of Mayline, Safco, and Office Star. When it comes to modern styling, these manufacturers strive to set trends. Not to follow them. Products by these respected companies are affordable, and offer quality craftsmanship, along with beneficial ergonomic features that will help improve your day to day productivity in the workplace. Mayline for example, has added some modern office desks to there economically priced Eastwinds furniture series. The desk shown on this post is from that series, and is priced at $139.99. On this desk you will notice the curved, sleek leg design found on most high priced modern office desks. Truly, this desk is one of the greatest bargains for those shopping for a modern piece of office furniture for there home.

In closing, having a modern office desk in your home does not have to cost a small fortune. You can still have the wow factor of a cutting edge desk or chair for under $200. You just have to do a little research and find the right manufacturer for your individual style.

Traditional Office Furniture is Always in Style

With all of the latest styles and trends in modern office furniture, I thought it would be nice to do a post on the more traditional office furniture from companies like Mayline. While Mayline is a leader in the modern office furniture realm as well, for those looking for that timeless style of traditional wood office furniture they are an excellent choice. One great thing about traditional office furniture is that it never seems to go out of style. No matter the current trends, your always going to turn heads with that classic look.

Take a popular series of traditional furniture like the Sorrento series by Mayline. The Sorrento veneer desking system is a transitional line of wood office furniture for executive offices, individual work spaces, conference rooms and reception areas. This line combines a high end look and technology-friendly features. Sorrento uses AA-grade North American Hardwood veneers throughout. The first thing you notice when you see this line is the bourbon cherry finish with bird's eye maple inlays. In one word, beautiful!

To wrap this up, styles in modern office furniture are always changing. You see a new futuristic desk or chair come out every day. To me these styles are very cool and push the industry standard. For my money however, I prefer the look that I know will stand the test of time.
