Phone Booths in Offices: The Best Way to Handle Private Calls

Phone Booths in Offices: Enhancing Privacy and Productivity

In our previous post, we explored just how much of an impact noise has on focus, productivity, and well-being in modern offices. But once you’ve recognised the problem, the big question becomes: what’s the solution?

That’s where office phone booths step in.

You’ve probably seen them—sleek, minimal structures tucked into the corner of a workspace, glowing quietly like a little oasis in a sea of noise. But they’re much more than just a trendy addition to the office floor.

They’re a game-changer for businesses trying to balance collaboration with the need for concentration and privacy.

The Not-So-Obvious Office Superpower

Most offices today are built for movement—collaborative spaces, hot desks, breakout areas. But where do you go when you need to handle a delicate client call? Or when you’re pitching to investors over Zoom and you can hear the coffee machine in stereo?

This is where phone booths become invaluable. They offer something most modern workspaces are sorely lacking: a private, distraction-free space, right where it’s needed.

And let’s be clear—this isn’t just about giving people a place to hide. It’s about enabling better conversations, more confident communication, and deeper focus—without needing to redesign your entire office.

Real Conversations, Done Right

Think about how many calls happen in your office on a given day. Sales, client check-ins, internal one-to-ones, virtual meetings with teams in other cities (or continents). Now think about how many of those take place with background noise, interruptions, or someone hovering nearby.

A well-designed phone booth transforms that experience.

It offers a quiet, acoustically sound environment that allows employees to speak clearly, listen actively, and be fully present in the moment—whether it’s a five-minute update or a high-stakes negotiation.

Flexible, Not Fixed

Unlike traditional meeting rooms, phone booths don’t require floor plans to be torn apart or walls to be built. They’re modular, plug-and-play, and designed to fit seamlessly into the flow of your workspace.

Need just one? Great. Need five as your team grows? Even better. They’re easy to scale, relocate, and reconfigure as your needs evolve—making them a future-ready solution for the modern office.

Where Form Meets Function

Let’s not forget the details. The best phone booths—like those we design at Soundbox Store—aren’t just soundproof boxes. They’re thoughtfully crafted with:

• Advanced acoustic insulation for genuine privacy
• Ventilation and lighting for comfort and usability
• Integrated power and USB outlets, so tech doesn’t get in the way
• A clean, modern aesthetic that complements your office design
  

They’re made to feel good to use—not like you’re stepping into a cupboard, but into your own little workspace-within-a-workspace.

How Businesses Are Using Phone Booths Today

We’ve seen clients use them in all kinds of ways:

• As drop-in spaces for quick calls or virtual catch-ups
• For HR teams who need private spots for sensitive conversations
• As remote-friendly hubs for hybrid workers needing quiet during in-office days
• Even as mini workstations for those needing full focus on solo tasks
  

The beauty of a phone booth is in its versatility. It doesn’t dictate how you use it—it simply provides a better environment for whatever task is at hand.

And the Impact? It’s Immediate.

Businesses that introduce phone booths often report back with the same kinds of feedback:

• “It’s where I go when I really need to get something done.”
• “Finally, a space where I can take a call and actually hear myself think.”
• “It’s made our virtual meetings feel more professional—and more private.”
  

And for employers, the benefits are just as clear: fewer distractions, better communication, and a workplace that supports both collaboration and concentration.
