Don’t forget about your staff during an office construction project! Talk to Key Interiors about our break room design services.
Unacknowledged but indispensable, break rooms are often an afterthought in the construction process. We think these important areas deserve the same care and attention as the more public areas of your business because they directly impact employee comfort and satisfaction. Having a comfortable place to mingle, relax, and eat with co-workers is important for employee morale and camaraderie and can help them get back to work feeling energized and ready to tackle whatever challenges the day brings. It’s also guaranteed to show them you care about their well-being.
Key Interiors’ builds or renovates nearly 300 break rooms every year. Projects range from complete overhauls to updating the amenities with hands-free faucets and hand dryers or easy-care flooring and fresh wall systems. We work on office break room design projects of all sizes, whether they are standalone projects or part of a larger office construction project.

Modern Break Room Designs For Modern Businesses
During a construction or renovation project, customers can get caught up in the details of the workspace and the public spaces; staff break room design is the last thing on their mind. But many clients have told us that working on the break room design and layout is one of the most enjoyable parts of the project. Break rooms are private, available only to employees. That gives you much more flexibility in terms of design and amenities. Some businesses choose to stick with a similar color scheme and look as the public areas of the building. Others want something completely different that really speaks to the company culture.
There are so many options for modern office break rooms, the sky really is the limit. Is it simply an eating area? Is it an informal conferencing area? Is it a quiet retreat where employees can relax with a cup of coffee, or is it a place to blow off steam, complete with a ping-pong table and games? It’s up to you. This is your chance to have a little fun in your office design project!
When designing modern office break rooms, we’ll ask questions about the culture of the organization and how employees interact with one another, how you envision the break room being used, and what you feel is lacking in your current break room. Working with you and taking staff input into account, we will develop a break room layout that meets your practical needs and looks good while doing it!
