Office Design Steps
STEP EIGHT: UPPER CABINETS
Upper cabinets are not necessary and can always be added in the future. Office design should always make provisions for the future addition of upper cabinets. In our proposals, we price upper cabinets separately, so that you can decide if you want to make this investment. Here are some things to consider:
A. Upper cabinets provide handy storage space within reach of your chair, with additional storage above.
B. Under-cabinet lighting is a must, to illuminate the desktop below.
C. Pigeon holes can be provided, for sorting and organizing your papers. (McCarthy Office)
D. Open shelves, immediately above the computer monitor, are handy for keeping reference books. (Kumper Office)
E. Wide-span hutches leave the desktop clear, with no obstructions. (John Evans Hutch)
F. Soften the “business” look of your office with display areas for photos, trophies, and memorabilia. (Frank Wolf Office)
G. Glass doors are a nice feature, to display curios and photos (Nicholson Office)
H. Wooden doors are good for hiding “clutter”, including office supplies (Eppley Office, Frank Wolf Office)
I. You can add interest and drama with an arched top. For examples, view Carlisle Office, Frank Wolf Office.
