Office Move Checklist: Your Guide to a Stress-Free Office Move

Moving offices doesn’t have to be a headache. At NORNORM, we’ve supported countless office moves and transformations, so we know what works (and what doesn't!). This guide is packed with practical tips to help you plan, adapt, and make your move as seamless as possible.

Scaling up? Downsizing? Looking to pivot?


Whatever the reason, moving to a new office is an exciting opportunity to create a workspace that fosters creativity, well-being, and productivity. A space that reflects your brand and core values today, and supports your vision for tomorrow. But to set your business up for success, you need to make the right choices.

Let’s be honest, all the logistics can feel overwhelming. The planning, the packing, the endless to-do lists. But fear not! Just like any process, your office move can be broken down into bite-sized, manageable steps. That’s why we’ve put together a 10-step checklist to make your move as smooth and (dare we say) enjoyable as possible.

See the office move as an opportunity, not just a necessity!

Step 1 – Write down your requirements.

Since you’re considering a move, you already know that your company’s needs are evolving. It’s important to think about what functions your new office should accommodate: open workspaces, quiet rooms, meeting rooms, kitchens, and social areas. But also, think long-term.

  • Can the space be easily reconfigured?
  • Will a meeting room today need to become an open workspace in a few years?

Location is another crucial factor, along with budget. The office’s area can impact both your brand image and attractiveness as an employer. A well-connected location with good transport links is always a plus.

Step 2 – Find the right office space: Use both logic and emotion.

Your new office should satisfy both the head and the heart. Practical factors like size, budget, and lease terms all matter, but so does finding a place where your team can thrive. You can’t put a price on a vibe!

To navigate the market, you can work with a real estate agent who represents property owners. However, searching on your own often gives you better control over available options. Use local real estate search portals, or visit property companies’ websites directly. There are also platforms that specialise in flexible office and co-working options.

Step 3 – Review your current contracts.

Before booking viewings, review your existing agreements.

  • How long are you committed to your current lease?
  • What services (e.g., alarms, internet, printers, coffee machines, furniture) are tied to the office?

It’s also important to set a realistic timeline for your move, establishing clear deadlines for when you need to be in the new space.

Step 4 – Master the art of office viewings.

Ask lots of questions! When evaluating an office, it’s not just about square meters, but also how efficiently the space can be used.

  • Are there wasted areas, like long hallways?
  • Is the layout flexible for future needs?

Pro tip: Take as many photos and videos as you can. Your future self and colleagues will thank you for it when narrowing down your options. (No one’s memory is ever as good as they hope it to be, and floor plans aren’t enough!).

Step 5 – Lock in the logistics.

You’ve signed the contract, congrats! Now it’s time to plan the practical details.

  • What’s included in your rent?
  • Where will power outlets, WiFi, and security systems go?

Sorting this early means fewer headaches later.

Step 6 – Make furnishing easy (and future-proof).

Here comes the fun part - furnishing your new office! But before you start spending thousands on desks and chairs that might not fit your needs in two years, consider a smarter approach: a furniture subscription.

With NORNORM’s furniture subscription, for about the price of a cup of coffee per day per employee, you get:

  • A fully furnished, flexible workspace - Send in your floor plan, receive a free 3D design proposal within 48 hours, get your dream office delivered and installed in just six weeks.
  • No large investments, no supplier headaches - Just a seamless setup from start to finish.
  • A workspace that evolves with you - Need to swap desks for sofas? No problem. Don’t need your meeting chairs anymore? They get restored and reused elsewhere.

Smart, simple, circular. Don’t buy your office furniture, subscribe to it.

Step 7 – Infuse your brand personality.

Your office is more than a workspace, it’s a showcase for your brand. To create an environment that truly represents your company, think beyond expensive furniture.

  • Wall colours, lighting, signage, textiles, and decorations set the tone and make a space feel more inviting.
  • Plants not only bring a space to life, they also reduce stress and boost well-being and productivity.

As they say: "The devil is in the details."

Step 8 – Book movers, engage employees, and inform stakeholders.

Next, hire a moving company. Check references and compare quotes, then think about:

  • Will you pack yourselves or let the movers handle it?
  • Do you need moving boxes?
  • Should employees work from home during the transition?

Communication is key! A move affects everyone. Make sure they understand why you’re moving and get them excited about the new space.

  • Organise office tours before moving to help employees feel involved.
  • Inform customers and service providers about your new address.

Step 9 – Move in!

You did it! You’ve reached the finish line. Take a deep breath and enjoy the moment.

(And remember - it’s way more fun to unpack than to pack!)

If you've chosen a flexible office furniture solution, you can be even more relaxed, knowing your setup can evolve as your needs change.

Step 10 – Celebrate (and stay flexible)!

So finally, the move is complete, the boxes are unpacked, and your team is settling in. There’s only one thing left to do… celebrate! So, throw an office-warming party and showcase your new space to employees, clients, and partners.

(And if you’ve subscribed to NORNORM, you’ll never be stuck with a fixed office design - you can continuously adapt your workspace at no extra cost. The celebrations never end!)
