At our Elliot House venue, we're very fortunate to have the magnificent Ghislaine Howard Howard Collection. Our 16 meeting rooms and hotdesking space have been blessed with art work from Nationally renowned artist Ghislaine Howard. Let's take a look at how having artwork in office spaces benefits both businesses and people in business.

 

It can help symptoms of stress - A 2011 study by University of London found that when individuals were subjected to a beautiful painting by some of the world’s greatest artists, the blood flow to the “joy response” parts of the brain increased by 10%. 

It can encourage creative thinking - The British Council for Offices found that 61% of workers believe that artwork inspires them to think and work more creatively. Click here to read more

It can help communicate your business message - Artwork can help show your business' character and personality to employees, clients and partners alike. Office artwork can humanize your brand, giving it a personality and making it easier for clients to relate to your team and work.

It can increase productivity - A 2016 study revealed that people who worked in an office with art and plants were 17% more productive than those working in a basic and functional environment with no additional adornments, demonstrating that employees work better in decorated spaces.

 

And just like that, our Elliot House venue can be a factor in increasing the wellbeing of your colleagues & clients. Feel free to visit us and get a feel of our unique space in the heart of Manchester city centre!
