Online shopping, working from home, and video teleconferences have become commonplace since 2019. Now businesses want to lure their employees back to the offices. Restaurants miss those office workers that were their primary customers but are now working from home. Stores want those online shoppers back. Businesses of all types are renovating in an effort to lure customers, clients, and employees back to their physical space.

Here, we’ll look at some strategies companies are using to get their employees and customers back. Renovations to create more appealing workspaces is a key 2023 trend we’re seeing. Adding natural materials such as wood and stone designs are all the rage in 2023.

2023 Trends for Workspace Design

Because of concerns about disease transmission when indoors, families have spent more time entertaining guests outdoors over the past couple of years. With all this outdoor time, people grew more acclimated to nature. Now they want a natural feel in their indoor spaces. They’re renovating their homes to add more natural materials like stone. 

People grew used to working from home during the pandemic. Now they expect work and retail space to be more like their home living spaces. In 2023, the clinical environment of most office and retail spaces deters many customers and employees.

The trend in home renovations toward coziness and natural materials is spilling over into the office and retail environments as businesses are taking notice of these new preferences their employees and customers have for more welcoming home-like atmospheres. Biophilic design is all the rage as companies try to add a natural feel to their spaces.

What Stone Designs Can Do for Your Workspace

Biophilic design is all about connecting people with nature, and in 2023, expect to see lots of biophilic designs incorporating stone — especially in offices, retail, and hospitality businesses. 

From walls of natural stone to stone reception counters, biophilic designs using stone surfaces can bring a sense of calm to any space. Your customers and employees want this inviting and serene atmosphere. 

One of the great things about engineered stone materials like quartz is how technology can add custom colors to match any office space. With stone designs, the craftsmanship from the stone fabrication company is of the utmost importance. Stone installation is an art. It’s not like hanging drywall or assembling store-bought furniture. Working with the best professionals will make your office a trendsetter. 

Working with a lower-quality company often leaves a poor impression on customers and employees. That isn’t the result you want. One great thing about stone is its durability. But that also means it isn’t easy to repair poor craftsmanship without complete replacement. You must get your stone design and stone installation right the first time.

One of the key 2023 trends in stone design and stone installation is that the earlier trend toward more stone surfaces at home is now reaching offices and retail spaces. This is happening because businesses want an easier time keeping their employees and bringing in customers. And, of course, those are two of the most important ingredients for a successful business.
