Looking for office furniture that is inexpensive but still represents your brand? Then this might be something for you.
Let's be honest; Office furniture is not the most exciting thing to shop for. It's usually very generic, and it might be hard to find something that represents your company's brand. If you want to step away from the cookie-cutter style, then you're looking at paying a smaller fortune either by choosing a high-end designer brand or getting your office furniture custom-made. However, one of our customers figured out how to create the ideal workspace by using inexpensive IKEA cabinets and upgrading them with Norse replacement components.
Below is a photo from the office of Bobo Workshop, run by husband and wife - a builder and a third generation designer. Lara started by ordering the cabinet frame called Besta at IKEA. Then she added fronts, top and side panels to the cabinet, which she mounted to the wall. The result is gorgeous and represents the Bobo Workshop brand.

"I took a bit of a risk going the IKEA and Norse Interiors route for my office cabinet, considering I ordered it sight unseen. But for the price, functionality and look it seemed to be the best option. Plus I always like to try new things. I'm very pleased."

Bobo continues: "I chose Norse because of the simplicity of the designs, and the ease of ordering". By using IKEA as a base, and upgrading it with patterned doors, panels, and accessories, in different colors, it's possible to get office furniture that is on brand and still affordable.
