So, you’re looking to fit out your mining village with new furniture. Maybe the village is a new build, and everything needs to be done from scratch or maybe the village is simply being refurbished. At Minesite Furniture we can cater for either of these situations, tailoring the solution we provide to suit your needs.
If your build is a new one, you will be starting from scratch, and you’ll want to think about everything from the flooring to the walls and lighting as well as the furniture. In your plans for your new village, make sure to include all these elements so that they all work together to create the space that you want. If your fit out is a renovation, you will need to think about existing fixtures that you may need to work around such as cabinetry, flooring, windows, or existing lighting. You’ll need to consider if any of the walls, flooring or lighting need to be updated along with the furniture, or whether to tie in the furniture with what is already there.
From dining furniture to office furniture, accommodation furniture and décor, you’ll find everything you need for your village at Minesite Furniture. Fitting out your village or accommodation camp is a tough game, and you need consultants that know the game and understand your needs and wants. Here at Minesite Furniture we have the experience and knowledge to give you the best advice and options for your new village furniture.
Mining Village Dining Furniture
The dining room tends to be the room in the mining village that sees the most traffic. For this reason, it needs to be both serviceable and stylish. You’ll also want furniture that is easy to clean and maintain. Your furniture needs to be high quality to withstand the rigours of the environment, especially if it is going to be used 3 or more times a day. With high usage and a tighter cleaning program, you’ll need furniture that wears well.
The furniture that you place in your dining room should be a mixture of styles and types. Include both high and low dining options, as well as booth seating and sofas to allow for all different character types. From the introverts to the extroverts, all should be catered for in your dining room. All your employees are different and therefore will have different dining preferences. It will help them feel more at home it they can eat where and how they feel most comfortable.
Other options you could consider would be movable tables. If you need to clear or pack up the space often, you might look for tables that can be stacked away or wheeled to the corner if need be. Similarly, you might want to choose chairs that can be easily stacked away and moved from the room if you need to.
Mining Village Office Furniture
Your office is an area where your employees work. They need to be able to concentrate and focus on their tasks easily. Whether your office area is an open plan, allowing room for many desks or a closed plan, with various separate offices, it needs to be accommodating for all types of workers.
Planning out your office area will ensure that you can fit in everything you need in the space. Through your plan, you can see where everything is going to go and make sure the area doesn’t become too crowded. On the floorplan, you can include things such as the reception area, board rooms, work cubicles, desks, booths and a refreshment station. You could even choose to include a lounge area.
You’ll want your furniture to be comfortable, durable, and easy to move. Office furniture that is both comfortable and durable isn’t impossible to find, and we believe it is a must have. The rigours of the mining environment, with dust and dirt, is a harsh one for furniture to cope with. For this reason, your office furniture must be durable. However, it mustn’t come at the expense of your employee’s comfort. If your employees are comfortable while they work, they will be much more productive and happier in the office environment.
On a similar note, style also adds to productivity and morale in the office. Stylish furniture that adds character to the room, also adds intrigue and brings the office to life. With a lively office, comes employees who are much happier to step into that workspace every morning. If the office is dimly lit, uses dull colours, and offers no reprieve from the walls and desks, this could cause your employees to become dissatisfied with their surroundings. Adding colours and wall coverings to your office will give off better vibes within the office space.
Mining Village Accommodation Furniture
From providing privacy, to a place for them to catch up on some sleep, your bedrooms are the most personal place your employees will have when staying in your camp. For this reason, your bedrooms need to be clean, modern and should include some homely touches to bring the room to life. From the bedding to the furniture, everything should exude comfort and home. This all helps to boost your employee’s morale and mental health.
Add a touch of home to your bedrooms and they’ll come alive. The obvious furniture would include a bed, a chair, bedside table, and a cupboard. Extras would include desks or more storage solutions. Liven up the room with lamps, greenery, blinds, and lighting. Every little ‘extra’ touch adds another level of comfort and will boost the experience your employee has while staying in your camp. You might like to add some other elements such as shelving to add some more storage options for your employees.
Adding style and homeliness to your rooms will boost your employee’s comfort and increase their morale and mental health. Different colours in the rooms bring life and vitality to the space, and therefore lift the mood of the occupants.
Whilst Heavy Duty furniture isn’t exactly pretty, it can look nice. If you decide to go with furniture that is a bit higher on the spectrum, it will look nice and neat and modern in the room. Adding furniture that has character will take away from the ‘hotel’ feeling that many camp bedrooms tend to have.
