Commercial Interior Designs For A Productive Business
It is said that form follows function, and it is no different for commercial interior design. An ideal design is more than just about function; it should create a workspace that is inspiring and welcoming to the people working there and the customers who visit. Let’s look at commercial interior designs for a productive business.
Understanding Commercial Interiors
To understand how commercial interiors can influence a business, you must first know what it is. A commercial interior is the indoor space of a company. It can be any type of commercial building, such as offices, hotels, grocery stores, hospitals, schools, manufacturing plants, shopping malls, telephone companies, commercial living spaces, and more.
How is a Commercial Space Different from a Residential one?
There is a sharp difference in design between commercial and residential spaces. Residential spaces are designed to provide safe shelter and comfort to people there. A commercial space is designed to be used to make a profit. What does that mean? Commercial spaces should not only be functional, but they should also be aesthetically pleasing as well. After all, who would want to work in an office resembling a concrete bunker with no windows? Customers certainly wouldn’t want to do business in a place like that. An office that allows natural light in and is pleasing to the eye will boost production because employees will not dash for the door as soon as the clock reads five o’clock.
Ideas for Designing a Commercial Interior
Pick a Theme That Reflects the Companies Brand
The commercial space should be designed to reflect a business’s brand. So, an Italian restaurant should have Italian-themed decor. A bookstore should have a theme that reflects learning and creativity.
Use Eye-Catching Wall Designs
Walls are basically giant canvases waiting to be used. Murals that reflect the company’s identity are an excellent tool for conveying its culture. Wallpaper with a bold pattern lets the world know your company is on the stage. Ensure the wall design is welcoming for customers and fun for the employees to boost morale.
Create a Nature-inspired Space
If a business’s employees and customers are going to be spending a lot of time inside, it makes sense to bring the outside in. Green plants, natural light, wood accents, stone or terra cotta make the office seem a little more like the great outdoors.
Let the Sun Shine In
As we just stated, natural feeling surroundings are a great way to inspire employees. Numerous studies show that being exposed to natural light improves productivity and promotes a sense of well-being. A trick to enhance natural light is to use mirrors on walls without windows to reflect it and to give a sense of more space.
