Four easy and fun office break room ideas

An office isn’t just about doing the work, it’s a place where people thrive. And you need more than just desks and chairs for that. Creating break rooms helps people feel comfortable – or at home, even if they’re not. Add zones with curtains, acoustic frames or room dividers to give your team a chance to leave their desks: whether it’s for a quick break, a chat on the sofa, a little fika or some deep thinking.

There’s a ‘me’ in team

Sometimes, stepping away from the team can boost someone’s productivity. Create flexible focus corners with MITTZON acoustic screens that absorb sound and reduce visual distractions – offering a quiet oasis in the middle of a busy office. VEDBO armchairs, in soothing blue, support your back while sketching moodboards or crunching numbers. The height-adjustable laptop tables with built-in cup holders help create a more ergonomic setup. These focus corners are a simple way to build a culture where employees feel trusted to retreat and recharge, so they can be at their best.

Break up the office in style

It’s time for a brainstorm! Instead of the usual round table, go for warm compartments that spark creativity and bring people together. Settle into our new smooth LILLEHEM sofas, with washable covers that make them last for years. STOCKHOLM geometric rug is patterned on both sides, so you can easily flip it over for extra wear. Plus, its flat-woven surface makes it easy to pull away furniture and vacuum – a detail the cleaners will definitely appreciate. Drapey curtains provide a sense of privacy while keeping the space open and airy. Finish the room with pine veneer side tables for that final modern Scandinavian touch.

This isn’t your typical office break room. It’s a space that works, lasts, and makes everyone – both your team and occasional guests – feel welcome.

Let work take a backseat

It’s Friday – time to switch off and unwind. Give everyone a space to relax and connect. Fold the MITTZON tables away (watch out for sneaky cables!) and group a few acoustic frames on castors, acting as dividers. Just like that, you’ve created a break room in minutes. Whether it’s a toast to a new co-worker, a big celebration, or just a regular after-work drink: these moments bring colleagues together, strengthening the office vibe. And when it’s time to get back to business – simply slide everything back into place and you’re good to go.

Something good is brewing

A good workday needs at least one coffee break. In some countries, it’s even a legal right. So why settle for just a corner with a mediocre machine? Use frames filled with greenery to build a makeshift cafe, complete with STENSELE bar tables, fitting chairs and bistro-style lighting. Let’s make that cup of coffee one more reason your team loves coming to the office for.
