Colours most commonly used as seen in the above example are red and yellow, red as they trigger hunger and appetite and yellow as they promote feelings of happiness. Colour in the office environment is...

Picture taken from a recent Jasonl fitout Office partitions and screens for any office environment goes beyond aesthetics and design when it comes to choosing the correct office product. Despite adding a trendy modern look to the overall design of any mundane looking open plan office, office partitions can save space or create more privacy, streamline your office layout and get staff working more productively.

Choosing the right plants for the office is not the most difficult business decision lets be honest, but there are definitely some considerations that cross the mind when deciding which plant to buy. Generally, thoughts about the kind of flower you like, the pot that will look the best on your desk and how often the plant requires water are all valid questions.

Another common discussion is; what are the differences between buying from JasonL and Ikea. I am...

ChairMate Chair Mats WHAT defines a quality fully featured Office Chair Mat? A design which is not just a piece of flat sheet of plastic laying on the floor.
