Nassau, Bahamas - In today’s, work environment an employee sits
for up to 7hours a day, on average - sitting in front of the computer,
answering e-mails, making phone calls, writing proposals and, for some, eating
lunch.
It
is with that knowledge and twenty years of design experience that Monique
Graham launched Style Office Solutions (SOS), a Nassau based design firm, with
an affiliate location in Grand Bahama. “Countless studies show that if your
team is comfortable and inspired by the space they are in, they are going to
want to be in that space
and will
work more effectively” she noted.
Companies around the world are focused on
creating spaces that are productive, functional, efficient, cost effective and
in keeping with their brand identity. With much of the workforce spending at
least a third of the day at work, it is clear why this is such an important
consideration. Striking a balance
between solid and stylish design and function – while creating an environment
that is both comfortable and productive is precisely what Designer Monique
Graham has been providing for businesses throughout The Bahamas.
“Our
goal is to make what can be a daunting process less stressful and
overwhelming,” she explains. “At SOS, we take into consideration all
aspects - from conception to completion. We are equipped to take on something
as small as purchasing an office chair or as complex as space planning for a
multi-level office space.”
Style Office Solutions team: Graham and her sales and installation teams have completed several projects on both islands, including work for Freeport Ship Service, former Company of the Year in Grand Bahama. “Monique and her team were efficient and easily saw what we needed and wanted,” said Jeremy Cafferata, CEO. “For me, the installation was fast and pain free – we were moving from a cramped space to a much larger building. We now look high-end and my staff are very happy!” Pictured are (left to right) James Wilson, SOS Installation Supervisor, Monique Graham, SOS CEO and Designer and Ingia Thompson, SOS Sales Executive.

“We collaborate
with general contractors, architects and various vendors in addition to providing
floor and wall finishes, window treatments, lighting etc. to ensure that the
entire project is well planned and managed, carefully monitoring budgets and
our clients’ needs. In short, we are focused on providing a seamless, ‘one-stop-shop’”
she added.

SOS is
currently working on both private and government offices as well as furnishing out-island
clients with both office and home furnishings from their well-stocked inventory
that is carefully selected to be stylish, functional and cost effective.
“We
are so grateful for the trust that so many clients have given us to create
great spaces that meet their goals and their budgets” she said. Along with her husband
and business partner, Sean Graham, they recognize that now is the time to take their
business of delivering great design to another level.
The research shows that people who are
comfortable at work put in longer hours and this can improve the overall
company’s business. “I have always felt that good
design in a work environment is not only pleasing on the eye for those visiting
and working but also in its own way contributes to the productivity,” said
Monique. “ In the end having its effect on the profitability of that company –
which as we all know is the most important aspect.”
