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!
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.
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.
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.
Before booking viewings, review your existing agreements.
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.
Ask lots of questions! When evaluating an office, it’s not just about square meters, but also how efficiently the space can be used.
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!).
You’ve signed the contract, congrats! Now it’s time to plan the practical details.
Sorting this early means fewer headaches later.
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:
Smart, simple, circular. Don’t buy your office furniture, subscribe to it.
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.
As they say: "The devil is in the details."
Next, hire a moving company. Check references and compare quotes, then think about:
Communication is key! A move affects everyone. Make sure they understand why you’re moving and get them excited about the new space.
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.
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!)
NORNORM offers a subscription-based, circular office furniture service.
Currently, most customers are in the Netherlands, Germany, UK and the Nordics, including real estate companies, co-working spaces, startups, and large enterprises such as: Edge, NREP, Miro, Netflix, Klarna, and Electrolux.
