Your team has 110 people today. The forecast says 150 next year. So how many desks do you buy? 🤯

Ordering for 150 could leave thousands tied up in furniture nobody is using.

Ordering for 110 could mean another procurement exercise six months later if growth happens as planned.

We have these conversations with clients because a headcount forecast is exactly that: a forecast. Recruitment changes. Hybrid working patterns shift.

Growth happens faster in some teams than others.

The furniture strategy can account for that uncertainty.

You might buy for the requirement you’re confident about, retain and reuse existing furniture, then use rental or leasing where future demand is less certain. You can also choose furniture that can be added to or reconfigured as the workplace changes.

This is where 𝐅𝐥𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱 can become part of the strategy. It gives businesses the option to buy, rent or lease workplace furniture and adapt the approach over time as headcount, space and priorities change.

✅ The right answer will be different for every client. The important thing is understanding what you know today and where you need room to adapt tomorrow.

A workplace can be ready for growth without being fully furnished for a future that hasn’t happened yet.

Some of the best furniture for your next workplace might already exist. 💭

When we start working with a client, buying everything new isn't automatically the starting point.

There could be furniture within the existing workplace worth retaining. There could be high-quality pre-used pieces available elsewhere. New furniture can then be introduced where it genuinely adds value.

At LifeArc, this thinking became part of the procurement strategy. 𝐅𝐥𝐮𝐢𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝-𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬, 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐚 £𝟏𝟒𝟔,𝟑𝟕𝟓 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝟑𝟐.𝟔 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐎₂𝐞.

The result still had to meet the same expectations around comfort, functionality and design.

For clients, used furniture can be a commercial decision as much as a sustainability one. The important part is knowing what is worth reusing, what is worth sourcing and where investing in new makes more sense.

A good furniture strategy starts with what the workplace needs, not an assumption that everything needs to be new.

Your office lease has an end date. Your furniture doesn’t.

It’s something worth considering much earlier in a workplace project.

We work with clients where the property commitment itself shapes the furniture strategy. If you have two or three years remaining on a lease, buying furniture with a much longer useful life can create another problem further down the line.

What happens when you move?
Will the furniture suit the next workplace?
Do you store it, relocate it or dispose of it?

At Battenhall, the business was working with a short-term lease. Rather than creating a furniture commitment that extended well beyond it, Fluid developed a 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟒,𝟕𝟎𝟎 𝐬𝐪 𝐟𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲.

For other clients, buying may make complete sense. Some projects benefit from leasing, reuse or a combination of approaches.

The important part is considering the property and furniture decisions together.

Through FluidSpace Flex, we can help clients explore buying, renting and leasing based on how certain the requirement is and how long the commitment needs to last.

If your property strategy has a timeline, your furniture strategy should take it into account too.

An office pod can look perfect on a floor plan and still be completely wrong for the workplace.

We see plenty of attention given to size and appearance. But specifying the right pod means thinking about how it will actually be used, and what the building itself allows.

Before choosing one, there are a few questions worth answering:

👥 How many people need to use it?
⏱️ How long will they typically spend inside?
🔇 What level of acoustic privacy is actually required?
💨 Is the ventilation suitable for the intended use?
🔌 What power, data or video conferencing will be needed?
🚪 Can it physically get through the building and into position?
🔄 Could it need to move or be reconfigured in the future?

These are the kinds of conversations we have with clients before recommending a pod.

Because the right specification comes from understanding the people, the building and the longer-term workplace plan first.

Thinking about adding pods to your workplace?

Our latest blog covers what to consider before you specify:

The furniture might be needed for ten years. The office lease might only have three left…

That changes the conversation around how you procure it.

We work with clients whose circumstances can look very different. Some know they’ll be staying in a workplace for years. Others are growing quickly, testing new ways of working or operating within a shorter property commitment.

🟢Buying can make sense when the requirement is established and long term.
🟢Renting can give businesses more room to respond as things change.
🟢Leasing can provide another way to spread the investment while still creating the workplace needed today.

And one project doesn’t necessarily have to follow a single route.

We’ve seen blended approaches work well too, with different parts of the workplace bought, rented, leased or even reused depending on where there is certainty and where flexibility has more value.

The important part is making the commercial model fit the reality of the business.

If you’re planning a workplace project, our complete blog breaks down the options and the questions worth considering before you commit.

The office works. The location works. Then come the questions that can change the deal…

“𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐝𝐝 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐨𝐝𝐬?”

“𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐭-𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐤𝐬?”

“𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚?”

For flex operators, these requests can appear late in the conversation, when a prospective occupier is already considering the space.

Being able to respond quickly gives operators an advantage.

A flexible furniture model makes it easier to adapt the workspace around individual occupier requirements without every request becoming a significant upfront investment or permanent change to the space.

And as those requirements evolve, the workplace can evolve with them.

A meeting room designed for eight people isn't necessarily a good meeting room for eight people.

Capacity is only one part of the brief.

We see clients using meeting spaces for very different activities. Hybrid calls. Workshops. Presentations. Client meetings. Quick team discussions. The furniture needs to support what is actually happening in the room.

Before specifying it, we’d look at things like:

- How many people will typically use the space?
- Will meetings be in-person, hybrid, or both?
- Where do power and connectivity need to sit?
- Can everyone comfortably see and engage with the screen?
- Does the furniture need to support different meeting formats?
- Is there enough room to move comfortably around the space?

A table might fit the dimensions on a floorplan and still create a meeting room that doesn’t work particularly well.

For our clients, the goal is to make sure the furniture supports the activity, technology and people using the room, rather than simply filling the available space.

Design the meeting around the activity first. Then specify the furniture.

An empty office asks prospective tenants to use their imagination.

At Cairo Studios, the opportunity was to make that easier.

Using 𝐅𝐥𝐮𝐢𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲, we helped transform an empty floor into a fully furnished and dressed workplace, creating a space prospective occupiers could walk into and immediately understand.

• Workstations gave the floor structure.
• Meeting and collaboration settings showed how different areas could be used.
• Furniture helped turn square footage into a workplace that felt ready for a business.

For landlords and asset managers, this is where furnishing can become part of the leasing strategy. It can help prospective tenants picture their teams in the space and understand its potential before they've signed the lease.

And because Fluid Ready is designed specifically for vacant sub-10,000 sq ft floors, landlords can take this approach without committing to a traditional CAT B fit-out.

The best furniture recommendation should start with your workplace, not a product catalogue.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Every client comes to us with a different set of priorities.

One might need to maximise a tight budget. Another needs furniture quickly.

Another is working around existing furniture they want to retain. And another needs something very specific for acoustics, accessibility or a particular way of working.

Being independent means we can approach each of those briefs differently.

Fluid works with 𝟑𝟎𝟎+ 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐬, giving us the freedom to compare products, lead times, price points and specifications and recommend what genuinely suits the project.

Sometimes that means specifying new furniture. Sometimes it means rental, pre-used pieces or retaining what the client already owns. In many of our projects, the right answer is a combination.

Our role is to understand the requirement first, then find the right solution around it.
