British summers may be fleeting, but that doesn’t mean your workspace should stay stuck in winter. When the sun arrives, so should a little vibrancy for your office space. At Allenby, we’ve seen firsthand how refreshing your office design can spark creativity and even improve how teams work together.
So, let’s talk summer style. Whether you’re already based in one of our Hull offices or browsing some of our commercial offices to let across the UK, here’s some ideas of how you can bring the sunshine inside…
Colours That Feel Like Summer
Nothing says “fresh start” like a summer colour palette. Swap the greys for something that actually makes people smile. Think peach, mint, soft sky blue, and pale yellow. These colours are proven mood boosters.
Use warmer shades in meeting rooms to spark energy. Stick to lighter tones in quiet zones for a more calming effect. A bold accent wall or a pop of colour in your furniture can transform a space without needing a full redecoration.
If you’re in one of our serviced office spaces in Hull, you likely already have the flexibility to refresh things fast.
Bring the Beach (Without the Sand)
We don’t mean deckchairs and inflatable flamingos (unless that’s your thing). We’re talking about textures. Light woods, woven baskets, linen blinds, and pastel ceramics hint at a coastal escape without going full seaside café.
Natural materials make spaces feel breathable and bright, especially with plenty of daylight. If your office doesn’t get much sun, bring in mirrors and metallics to bounce the light around.
Green Is Always In
Plants are the easiest way to say, “We didn’t forget it’s summer.” A few well-placed plants make any space feel more relaxed and a bit less like an admin cave. Choose low-maintenance types if your team isn’t the nurturing type.
If you’re in offices in Hull without outdoor space, a few planters by the windows can still do the trick.
Keep It Light
Summer interiors should feel lighter and brighter. One of the best ways of doing this is to ditch the heavy furniture. Go for minimal shelving and modern chairs.
Lighter furniture also makes it easier to reconfigure your space. Fancy a quick shuffle to set up a brainstorming nook? You won’t need a forklift.
We’ve helped plenty of clients get their dream serviced office space in Hull, which makes it easy to achieve plenty of light.
Inject Some Personality
Not everything has to match. Summer gives you permission to mix it up a bit. Add a quirky art print or even a neon sign with an inspirational quote.
This isn’t just about decoration. A fun office feels more human, and that makes it a better place to work.
