Executives may write the playbook, but they don’t invent it out of thin air. Many executives are seasoned workers with deep experience in their industries. At Benhar, that’s our story too. You know your business, and we know ours. Together, we can design a thoughtful furniture plan that represents your business today while arming you with the tools to take it to the future. 

Let’s chat about your executive office design ideas today!

What Does an Executive Office Need?

Executive offices aren’t one-size-fits-all, especially as far as aesthetics goes, but general ideas can fit into a variety of different styles. When configuring your executive office layout, consider creating a lounge area, private bar, additional storage, bringing in an oversized desk, and providing a vantage point to oversee office happenings.

Idea

Benefit

Lounge or living room area

Adding a variety of seating options not only provides different work areas but also allows your visitors to choose a comfortable venue for formal and casual meetings.

Private bar

Keeping refreshments nearby allows executives to practice hospitality and stock favorites for recurring clients, vendors, and collaborators.

Storage

All executives will have different priorities, but in our experience, space to store office supplies and files, display accolades, and access cutting-edge technology is rarely unwelcome.

Oversized desk

Executives are spokespeople for their businesses. An oversized desk makes a lasting impression that commands respect and provides ample room to review documents and other items needed for easy reference.

Intuitive layout

The difference between okay and great furniture design comes down to orientation. Taking the extra time to review the floor plan and walk through the space can ensure that all pieces land in a place that makes sense for your workflow.

View of the office

A view of the office allows executives to connect with their colleagues and stay abreast of office happenings.

Exploring Executive Office Style

Even in the most egalitarian office cultures, executives need space to hold meetings, harness deep focus, and store vital assets. Whether you like a bohemian feel or something more industrial, our rich catalog of products provides endless opportunities to design a functional and eye-catching office. 

Consider incorporating the following to set your executive office apart from the rest of the workplace:

Executive offices demand a clear and well-executed design, so it shouldn’t be relegated to an afterthought. Instead, it could be a good idea to start your furniture design in the executive spaces so you can account for big-ticket items early on and anchor the rest of your decisions.
