Restyling Your Office with Wall & Door Protection
March 30, 2010
The presentation of a company’s office tells clients and rivals a lot about the business. An air of sophistication is important in the way you present your office. This is why the furniture you choice and the décor you decide on are very important.Here are my top five tips, from door protection to décor, for revamping your office.
The Welcome
Guests arriving at the office will pass judgement based on what they see.Your reception area should be welcoming, light and bright.There should be an obvious waiting area and it should be comfortable.Either chairs or sofas are okay, but be sure to find the balance between comfortable and professional. it would be unprofessional to have a reception area which resembled a lounge.
The Décor
Keep it simple.Don’t opt to paint entire areas bright or overbearing colours.But equally, don’t be drab and boring. You could incorporate the company’s colours in feature walls, or in artwork.
The Props
A few plants will freshen the air and add colour.A bit of greenery also does wonders for staff morale.{ Don’t be afraid to have a few plants around the office, particularly in closed off offices and reception areas. Just don’t let them die. Remember, too, that there’s nothing wrong with showing off a little. If your company makes a product you’re very proud of, then display it in a cabinet in reception. This creates a corporate identity and shows visitors how proud you are of the company.Other props to consider are water coolers, well organised shelving and file storage and industry specific magazines in reception for visitors to browse.
Tidiness
Staff desks and kitchen areas are often a source of clutter. Don’t be afraid to ask staff to clean up their own mess.After all they are adults. Even so, you shouldn’t ban personal items from staff desks. Your personnel will spend most of their week sitting at their desk, so should be entitled to make it their own. Anyway, most visitors will actually appreciate being reminded that your staff are people and not robots.
The Maintenance
Protecting your office is important. You’ll spend a lot of time and money fixing wear and tear if not. Protecting your hard work is just good sense, as not to would defeat the object of restyling your office in the first place. There’s a whole range of trims to protect walls and doors, and they’re a great investment. You might not have realised it until you stop to think about it now, but all those delivery boxes and tea trolleys are likely to do at least some damage to your walls and doors. This risk is eliminated using wall and door protection.
