Creative ideas for the office break room

Getting creative with the office break room is important in these modern times. Gone are the days when all the break room needed to offer was a coffee maker. Now for employee health and creativity, a break room needs to have more. Taking frequent breaks can reduce stress and fatigue.  Once an employee is refreshed, this can stimulate greater productivity.  We already have the space and with a few changes we can repurpose the area into an office productivity lounge.

Here are some great ideas to outfit the office break room and help our employees recharge.

Motorized TV Mount TVs 23"-55"

A great idea for the break room is a mounted TV. When on break and employee can catch up with the news or watch a few minutes of a favorite program or video. This Techorbits motorized TV mount attaches to the ceiling, so it does not reduce available wall space. Even more, the TV can be smoothly lowered up or down, taking it out of the way when not in use. The angle can be adjusted to maximize viewing. This mount is durable and can hold televisions or monitors from 23 to 55 inches.
