Office Cubicle Solutions for Small Businesses

Since their invention more than 40 years ago, office cubicles have become a staple for effective office design. The luxury of private offices was reserved for businesses with large spaces, until Herman Miller designed a tiny workplace enclosed by office partitioning. The office cubicle became a solution for small businesses to: maximise space, create an organised office with a professional design and give employees privacy.

With open plan offices so popular these days, the office cubicle is a cost effective solution that ultimately gives people a private workspace and allows an employer to expand without having to move.

Types and sizes of office cubicle solutions

Cubicle solutions with office partitions come in a range of sizes and colours and can be built freestanding or as a collection. Consider these three office cubicles for your small business:

  • 5ft high office partitions create a cubicle perfect for creative businesses who aren’t in need of a lot of privacy. Participating in teamwork and collaborations is easy, as employees are able to see each other when sat down.
  • 2ft high office partitions create a cubicle ideal for businesses that need a private workspace without feeling cut off from the rest of the office. Employees can interact when standing and communicate easily without distracting others.
  • 6ft to ceiling height office partitions create a cubicle that’s entirely private. These are a great alternative for the upper hierarchy of the organisation or for those that require complete silence, but can create feelings of isolation. Glass office partitions are a good alternative – they offer a degree of sound cancellation without the disconnection from a solid partition.
