Tips For Office Renovations



1. Decide what is the reasons for renovations , for instance, are you buying a space that was previously used for another type of industry, such as a boutique, but you intend to turn it into a tanning salon? Do you want to create space or divide space? Is the office just old or boring looking? Updating an office space can be a great way to improve employee morale and attract more customers and clients.

2. Decide the paiting, painting is a fantastic way to spice up an office. Most office spaces are barren and white, so adding a splash of color can completely change the aura of the room. Painting is laborious but simple, which makes it the perfect starting point. Plus, there are several stylistic techniques if you want to do more than just a solid color. Rooms may be painted with vertical or horizontal stripes to add some dimension.

3. Decide the decoration , there are a few different types of art that can be added to walls. Another plus to wall decor is that it is removable, which is especially important when renting an office space. Hanging art shows that you have good taste and that you care about your space. Large paintings, decorative mirrors and mountable metal pieces can be combined or used individually.

4. Match your furniture, keep in mind the color of your walls and the size of you office when picking out new furniture, and if possible, bring in samples of your wall colors and other textiles so you can be sure the furniture you are looking at will match your office.

5. Customise space, large, unused spaces can be filled in with any number of objects. Consider installing a fish tank in the center of a room or against a long wall. Adding something like this can be good for your employees because it gives them something to look forward to, especially if people can add a fish or name one. Another way to fill a large space is to add a table with large vase full of flowers. Fake flowers are durable, beautiful, and inexpensive.

6. Change layout, knocking down a wall can open up your office, creating a more teamwork oriented environment. On the other hand, adding walls can create the privacy that is essential in some industries. To make a new wall more formal you can add crowning to the top, or you can have a custom doorway designed.

7. Decide flooring, sealing or staining a hard floor can be very smelly and requires a minimum of several hours to dry. It may cost higher but it is not a bad idea to get flooring companies to work on the weekends ..

8. Decide lighting, just need to make sure the lighting is bright enough except for reception area where you can change a different light decoration to have different looks and atmosphere.

9. Other than that, one last thing to consider, make sure all the infra structure such as telephone line, power points, intranet network are well considered to make it better than earlier.
