This ABM headquarters tour continues with a look at the team’s second office room. The space was planned to help a small team stay connected and communicate easily while offering more room to spread out. Moving upstairs and dividing the team between two rooms helped create a workspace that feels less crowded and distracting.
ABM Headquarters Tour: The Second Office Room
Emma, Sarah, and Jacki usually work in this room. Jacki’s desk appears empty in the photos because she was on vacation when they were taken. Even in a compact office, arranging desks across separate rooms can give people a little more space while keeping the team close by.
One of the room’s most distinctive details is its striped ceiling. A ceiling treatment can bring color and personality into a workspace without taking up valuable desk or floor space. If you are planning a similar feature, consider how the pattern and colors will look alongside the room’s existing furniture and artwork.
Colorful Art and Personal Details
The room combines several kinds of wall decor: a bulletin-board mood board, a large vintage map, and pop art prints of Emma’s three dogs above her desk. Together, these pieces give the office a personal feel while making use of wall space rather than adding more items to the work surfaces.
A practical way to create a similar mix is to choose one larger statement piece, then add smaller items that reflect the people who use the room. Keeping a mood board in one designated area can also help contain changing notes and inspiration, leaving desks clearer for everyday tasks.
A Simple, Small-Team Workspace
This office is simple, colorful, and set up for the needs of a small team. Its combination of separate work areas, expressive decor, and useful furnishings shows how a compact room can feel welcoming without becoming overly busy. When arranging a home or shared office, leave enough space to move comfortably and keep frequently used supplies within easy reach.
The room’s credited items include desks and chairs, a rug, curtains, a file cabinet, bookshelves, a vintage map, a dress form, a DIY color-wheel clock, and a light fixture. Mandi’s tutorial was used as the reference for making the pop art prints. The next office feature is Elsie’s workspace.
Thanks to Emma for sharing this part of the ABM headquarters tour.
