Office Design
Office interior design for small businesses - Bristol, Somerset & the Cotswolds
Office design is an art that begins with a deep understanding of how your employees interact with their environment. Working with small businesses in Bristol, Somerset and the Cotswolds, we design offices around the people who work there, creating workplaces that are comfortable, flexible and genuinely supportive.
How we approach office design
No two small businesses work in the same way – so no two offices should either. We do not believe in one-size-fits-all layouts or endless rows of identical desks. Our office interior design service starts with a deep dive into your work culture, workflows and aspirations, so your space feels tailored to your team rather than squeezed into a generic plan.
Based in Bristol and working across Somerset and the Cotswolds, we understand the realities of smaller offices, character buildings and shared workspaces. Whether you’re in a compact studio in the city, a rural workspace, or a growing office in a market town, we help you make the most of every square metre.
Ergonomics plays a huge part in how we design offices. From task chairs and height-adjustable desks to lighting, acoustics and screen positioning, we carefully consider how people sit, move and switch between different types of work throughout the day. A well-designed workstation can improve comfort, reduce strain and support wellbeing – which in turn helps people focus and be more productive.
Modern workplace design is about much more than fitting in as many desks as possible. By looking closely at how your team communicates, how hybrid working is managed and what “a good day at work” looks like for your employees, we can create a more flexible, efficient and enjoyable office layout. That might mean a thoughtful mix of focused work areas, collaboration zones, quiet corners and relaxed breakout spaces – all working together as one cohesive environment.
Our goal is to make your office work harder for you: supporting your brand, helping to attract and retain talent, and giving your team a workspace that genuinely reflects who you are as a business.
Whether you are a small business reshaping an existing office in Bristol, or a growing company planning a new workspace elsewhere in Somerset or the Cotswolds, we can help you create a considered, future-ready workspace for your team.

“We approached People & Spaces when we were looking for an interior designer to create an office space for our marketing business in Bristol. Emilie helped us create a really beautiful yet practical space that the team love and genuinely really want to come and work in. From colours, to lighting, to foliage, there were loads of aspects that we would never have thought of - and it looks great. They delivered a very personal, reliable, collaborative approach.”
