If you're looking for office space, you probably have certain things in mind that are important to you. You need to have enough space for all the employees you currently have. Plus, you may also want to get an office with a little extra space if you anticipate hiring new employees. Sometimes, it can be difficult to judge whether a certain office space will work for you when you first see it. Try to picture the size and amount of furniture you will want to arrange in each office and leave extra room to be safe. Or if you want an open office plan, you need to figure out whether there's enough space for a few long tables, a reception desk etc. Here are a few tips to figure out if a certain space is right for you:

Square Footage

Be sure to find out the square footage of the office you're looking at. Sometimes a space may look a bit smaller because it is dark or larger because it is bright. But it's important to know the square footage because this will tell you how many cubicles will fit into it and how many employees can be accommodated. Be sure to compare the square footage with the square footage of your old offices.

Shape

Sometimes, the square footage of an office space may be large but if the shape is winding, then you may not be able to fit that many cubicles into it. It's always good if you can find a loft-type open space for your offices. If this is not possible, you can get an interior designer to make a floor plan which tells you how many employees can be comfortably accommodated in that place.

Light

It's always a good idea to get a well-lit office space, if possible. This is because sunlight has been proven to be a mood-lifter which can increase productivity at work. Plus a well-lit office space is a pleasant environment to invite clients for meetings. Sometimes, it may not be possible to get a well-lit office space due to budgetary constraints, in which case you can try to make the environment more joyful by decorating it with bright colors and soft shapes.
