In Defense of The Cubicle – What Makes Cubicle Office Arrangements So Popular

May 31st 2018

Office Cubicles

More and more companies decide to replace cubicles with open-floor office designs, but even so, cubicles are still able to provide numerous advantages over large spaces occupied by lots of people, all of whom are trying to focus on their work in an environment full of disturbances. Here are a few of the major benefits of the cubicle system:

  • Privacy – most of us need a space of our own to be able to focus on our work and cubicles offer exactly that: a small, delimited and customizable space where we can take refuge and work undisturbed;
  • Reduced stress – having a tiny spot that we can call our own in the office helps a lot in stressful periods by providing the opportunity to calm down a reflect for a few minutes, with modern ergonomic office chairs and desks;
  • Personal space – cubicles are small, but they can be freely customized to meet the tastes of the occupants. Personalized shelving, camouflaged storage, personal items, such as photos, mugs, small posters, even tiny potted plants can all be added to make the space comfortable and homely;
  • Economical solutions – cubicle workstations can be freely rearranged to achieve the most economical usage of floor space;
  • Cubicles encourage team cohesion – in a cubicle system, every employee gets the same amount of space for working, which boosts cohesion and improves the general atmosphere in the office.
