We have chosen the paint, new furniture, new flooring. It all looks updated and fresh. Are you finished? We don’t think so. You still need to put the “jewelry” on your office space. Jewelry? You ask. Yes. Think about it. When you accessorize what you are wearing, it changes the whole outfit. It shows your style, personality, even your confidence. It lets people know who you really are.
The same applies to your office space. You’ve brought in all the necessities you and your staff need to work, but have you created an aesthetic that fosters creativity, concentration, and collaboration? It’s the “jewelry” that can achieve the environment you want for your business. If your clients visit your workplace, you want it to be welcoming and relaxing while maintaining your level of professionalism
What is the “Jewelry”?
The “jewelry” can be artwork, textured wallcoverings, colorful upholstery, window treatments, beautiful planters that bring plants and the essence of nature into your space. As you choose these accents, you want to keep your corporate or small business identity in mind.
Artwork
The artwork in this collaboration area reflects the branding colors of the company while adding color and an uplifting vibe.
Artwork can boost employee productivity! Art sparks feelings of joy. It inspires.
Planters
These rounded planters bring softness into a space along with nature. Studies continue to indicate that when people are close to nature, their concentration increases while stress decreases. These simple décor pieces can cultivate the atmosphere in the workspace.
You can choose all greenery or bring in color with florals.
Wallcovering and Upholstery
Not only do clients want to show their brand colors, they want to do it with a flourish!
Textured wallcovering was selected as an accent wall in a reception area with a geometric print on the back of the chairs.
Coordinating the back and seat upholstery on your seating really brings your design up a notch.
A subdued gray tone floral mural was chosen by another client adding a pop of color with the additional flowers and with a matching solid on the chair upholstery.
The addition of brightly colored furniture invites employees to collaborate.
The right textured wallcovering paired with a great piece of artwork, really makes a reception/waiting area welcoming. Notice the warmth the addition of the two lamps brings to the space.
Murals
You can get as edgy as you’d like! This wallcovering depicts graffiti to appeal to the clientele of this firm. It is bright, fun, and completely makes a statement.
Decorative Film
Transform plain glass walls with the use of decorative film. Not only do you add interest to the space, decorative film continues to let in the natural light while providing a degree of privacy customized for your office.
Stone Veneer Accents
The addition of a stone veneer breaks up the monotony of a wall and adds elegance to the reception area.
Stone veneers bring texture and visual interest to your work environment.
