It’s time to revamp your business space!
Why it’s time to revamp your business space!
This year has been the most extraordinary time for business owners. This is so far from what we thought 2020 would look like. As we near towards the end of the summer, businesses are very much needing September to bring a fresh start and more business! This is why it’s time to revamp your business space!
Many business owners will be hesitant to make changes due to the financial impact Coronavirus has had. With the financial constraints facing consumers, your business needs to draw customers in and wow them to the point they want to invest! It also signals to the consumer that you are thriving. Showing commitment to improving your customer’s experiences through re-designing your space.
Re-designing to adapt to Covid restrictions
Coronavirus has brought many new restrictions and requirements for most businesses and these adaptations are likely to be required for sometime. This is an opportunity to re-design your space, to embrace these adaptations and create a feature of them.
All commercial environments will require social distancing, easy to clean surfaces, clear direction indicators and most of all flexibility.

How to design your spaces with Covid restrictions
For office environments layout is key and ample space needs to be created between workers. To maximise your footprint, another option is glass partitions between cubicles. This is a design opportunity for your business, there are so many options for internal glass that looks incredible and makes a strong impression to your consumer.
For all businesses, cleanable surfaces or choosing materials with antibacterial properties is essential. There is a huge range of bleachable fabrics for upholstering seating and creating window treatments. Materials such as copper have antibacterial properties, which prevents bacteria from spreading.
Space restrictions will mean decluttering will be vital. This means carefully selecting what you want to showcase or hold in your space and getting rid of excess. Designing clever storage also frees up space and provides another opportunity to create a strong design element.
Creating directional social distancing for customers or employers moving around the space is also necessary. The easy option is to segment the floor space with tape and arrows, but there is again another opportunity for creating a design that stands your company out from the crowd.
Biophilic design in commercial spaces through the use of plants and living walls is another design element to consider. Plants help to clean the air, reduce stress and increase productivity.
Aside from the new restrictions, Coronavirus has created an opportunity to make you stand out from the crowd. Your commercial space needs to be visually incredible and entice people to want to stay and invest in your business.
