ROCCI - Business of the year finalists 2010

Thank-you to the organizers of the event it was a lovely evening with great networking opportunities.

Congratulations to all the winners, I know everyone has worked hard this year to keep the money flowing in, during the economic down turn we experianced.

Affordable and attractive filing cabinets for all purposes

"Filing cabinets are now very common and are to be found in almost every office. Their use is to store paper documents in different file folders. They are normally found in two different forms: lateral files and vertical files. The vertical file cabinet has drawers which extend from short side, and the lateral file cabinet has drawers which extend from the long side. These highly popular filing cabinets are generally made of metal sheets and use sliding drawers. This facilitates easy opening of the drawers; again, they can not be pulled out of the cabinet completely."04.15.2009 / Author: Ken Waldon / Posted in Interior Design

Filing is often neglected within the office space as people believe that they are able to work in a paperless environment. Through experience we have realized that there is no such thing as a paper less office environment as people have not yet changed their mind sets to accommodate this as they will still rather read a document on a piece of paper rather than on a PC screen.
If you need help with the storage of you paperwork or need some ideas of what is available for your paper storage please give us a call.

Making the most of your space

"Most people like to collect things. These could be anything from useful items to things which are simply sentimental. Of course the problem arises because most of us have set amount of space where we can use and keep these items. Otherwise, they start to pile up and get in the way. Interestingly, most of us have much more space than we think we do because we do not know how to effectively use our space. This is why, if we start to store things in a smarter manner, we can not only fit more in our spaces but we can find it easier when we need it." Author: Lilly Pallen/ 04.22.2009/ Interior Design

Afforable, Attacive and durable office furniture

When purchasing office furniture it is vital for one to consult with an interior designer as they are able to give the best advice to suite your needs and meet your requirements. The article below gives some valuable advice:

"Purchasing office furniture for the workplace can be cumbersome and boring. One has to be extra careful while selecting such things because the workplace means serious business after all. Office furniture should be such that they compliment the nature of the business as well as your personality. Interior designers will tell what aspects are to be considered before settling for the office furniture for your office." 04.15.2009/ Author Ken Waldon/ Posted in Interior Design

We at Ruslin have many years of experience planning and designing offices according to our clients needs. Office furniture is an investment that need not be changed frequently if it correctly researched and acquired. If you are looking at rennovating your current office space as you you think the space is too small, too big or just needs a face lift, please give us a call. The first consultation to discuss your needs and requirements are free.

Wide range of ergonomic chairs available at prices never seen before

"Since most professions now involved with constant operating of the computer, it involves sitting in the same posture for about eight to ten hours daily. This is bound to give birth to a number of diseases that are related to the long term shoulder and back pain. It is the spinal disc and the back muscles that are subjected to a lot of pressure. As people remain in office, most of them have a tendency to bend forward and lean while working. This adds to the problem by the over stretching the ligaments of the spinal chord. Employers have also begun to take these issues seriously and hence, the demand in ergonomic chairs is now understandable." 04.15.2009 / Author: Ken Walden.

If you are not happy with the current chairs that your staff are currently sitting on, please give us a call and we will be able to provide you with samples of new chairs that are ergonomic. We are also able to give the best prices as we deal directly with the suppliers.

Ruslin Interior Architects - We create your vision

Build a better office, have better staff.

It is very important for work places to recognise and adapt to the needs of the emerging work force in order to ensure that these employees are happy and comfortable in their working environments. Employers are needing to focus on keeping the good staff that they have, as training new staff takes up valuable time in which that employee can be generating revenue for your company.
An office is not only a place of work any more as staff tend to spend 90% of their days within these confines. Staff socialize with the other members within the working environment, thus adding to the happiness of the employees and thus increasing the productivity within this work space.
One needs a good interior designer to design you office space, ensuring your space is optimised and is designed in a way that makes staff members enjoy coming to work and that the environment created is pleasing and motivating.
No two companies are the same, so we need to analyse your companies needs and understand your goals and objectives to create a fully functional office that is productive yet funky.
Please phone Karen 083 327 3122 for any enquiries.

Is an Interior Designer really necessary?

Is an interior designer really necessary and can they save you money? These are questions frequently asked by our clients. Clients are normally frightened off by the perceived cost of using an Interior designer, believing that it will be outrageously expensive and the only intent of the designer is expressing their own style on your office. This is not the case with Ruslin, as not using a designer can work out more costly in the long run, as well as time consuming and stressful.
We at Ruslin specialize in creating our clients vision, as we have found that clients don't have the time to explore the endless possibilities available to create their dream environments. Trying to choose from the numerous products offered can be confusing and overwhelming. The end-result of a do-it- yourself job is often a dreadful mistake that is even more expensive to undo. We have the experience and knowledge of all these available products to make your space beautiful as well practical.

Using the services of a professional designer is highly recommended. Every designer is unique and prices vary according to experience and knowledge. Contact Ruslin Interior Architects for a free evaluation of your work space. karen@ruslin.co.za

Why do companies need space planning?

Space planning is an individual need for every business, as no two businesses are the same, whether you are a small, medium or large company. The requirements of each business relate to the operational structure, culture or simply the current space your office occupies. The effective or ineffective use of space, can affect the way in which a company does business and the way both its employees and customers , can feel honored or restricted by the design that surrounds them. Ruslin Interior Architects are here to help your business and create a solution that is right for your clients and employees.

Space planning sets the manner in which a company conducts their business and sets the tone for the clients, employees and the vendors alike. Each of the departments within the company rely on different layouts as some departments will thrive in an open plan setting i.e Call centre while other departments demand the privacy of an office i.e Finance. Ruslin Interior Architects will work with you to analyze your needs within your company to create the perfect solution for your working environment within your business.
