Where Should You Place a Soundproof Office Booth?

You’ve picked the perfect booth. Now it’s time to make the most of it.

One thing we’ve learned over time is that where you place your booth can make a huge difference. It’s not just about finding a spare corner. It’s about choosing a spot that makes the booth easy to use, acoustically effective, and naturally integrated into the rhythm of your workspace.

Let’s walk through how to think about it.

There’s a common instinct to place a booth somewhere quiet. That makes sense at first glance. But booths are designed to create quiet where it doesn’t already exist. They’re most effective when placed near busier areas, like collaboration zones, sales pods, kitchens, or shared work areas.

In these environments, a booth offers a contrast. It gives people a place to step away, take a call, focus on a task, or reset for a few minutes without needing to book a boardroom or walk to the other side of the office.

Booths also tend to be used more when they’re visible. If they’re easy to find and close to where people actually work, they’ll become part of the natural flow of the day. Quick meetings. Video calls. Brainstorm sessions. It all happens more organically when the booth is nearby and accessible.

It helps to think about function. Is this booth for your sales team to jump into between back-to-back calls? Place it near their desks. Is it for content creation or video editing? Keep it close to the creative team. If it’s more of an all-purpose pod, put it somewhere central that feels open to everyone.

Don’t forget about power and connectivity. You’ll want a nearby outlet and strong Wi-Fi. If Ethernet is essential, choose a location where it’s easy to run a cable. Lighting and airflow also matter, so give it room to breathe. A little natural light never hurts either.

You’ll also want to think about ongoing care. Soundproof booths don’t require much maintenance, but placing them somewhere accessible makes small tasks—like wiping down surfaces, checking filters, or refreshing accessories—quick and easy. A well-kept booth stays quieter, cleaner, and more comfortable over time. If you’re looking for simple upkeep tips, we’ve put together a full guide you can explore.

Ultimately, the best placement isn’t about the quietest corner or the most out-of-the-way spot. It’s about intention. It’s about knowing how your team works and putting tools—like a booth—where they’ll have the biggest impact.
