In today’s evolving workplace, office design is more than just a backdrop—it’s a strategic tool that can influence productivity, morale, and brand identity. One of the most impactful design elements? Finish selection. The colors and textures you choose can transform a workspace from ordinary to inspiring.

Two standout finishes from the OS Laminate Collection—Arcadia White and Java—are perfectly in step with some of the biggest office design trends of the year.

Trend 1: Light, Airy Spaces That Energize

Arcadia White is a bright, white wood-look laminate that enhances the effect of natural light, making spaces feel more open, fresh, and invigorating. Minimalist yet warm, it pairs beautifully with greenery, glass accents, and soft neutrals. This finish is ideal for:

• Modern open offices that need a boost of visual space

• Reception areas where a welcoming, professional first impression matters

• Collaborative zones that benefit from light-filled, uplifting environments

By embracing Arcadia White, companies are leaning into a trend that promotes mental clarity and reduces visual clutter—key factors in supporting focus and creativity.

Trend 2: Warm, Inviting Executive Spaces

Java takes inspiration from the cozy sophistication of your favorite coffeehouse. With its deep chocolate tones and subtly textured grain, this finish delivers both warmth and modern edge. It’s a perfect choice for:

• Executive suites that demand a high-end, professional feel

• Meeting rooms where rich tones create a sense of comfort and focus

• Hybrid workspaces where employees and guests should feel at ease

Java also aligns with the growing “resimercial” trend—blending residential comfort with commercial functionality—by adding a sense of hospitality to professional environments.

Trend 3: Contrasting Color Palettes

One of today’s most popular design strategies is pairing light and dark finishes for a striking, layered look. Arcadia White and Java complement each other beautifully, allowing designers to create balance:

• Use Arcadia White for desks or workstations to keep task areas bright and energizing

• Add Java for storage units, conference tables, or accent walls to ground the space with richness and sophistication

This approach creates visual interest while maintaining a cohesive, modern aesthetic.
