We are thrilled to share Restful Retail, a recently completed commercial project for The Grantley Group. The brief was far from a typical shop design. As a leader in Surrey’s high-end property market, Grantley wanted their new premises to reflect the essence of their relaunch and rebrand — creating a customer experience that felt inviting, authentic, and memorable.
Although this is a hardworking office, the goal was for customers to feel as though they were stepping into a living room: a cosy, welcoming environment where they could comfortably sit, browse brochures, and have meaningful conversations with staff.
Designing with Brand at the Core
We began with Grantley’s refreshed colour palette, exploring how it could be woven seamlessly into the design. The most immediate challenge was the large, flat white wall with a central door at the back of the premises. As the first focal point both inside and out, it needed impact. We transformed it with striking panelling in one of the brand colours, integrating the door into the design and creating texture, drama, and presence.
The floor was replaced with wide-plank LVT laid on the diagonal — a subtle but effective decision that worked with the flow of the space while adding warmth and visual interest.
Zoning a Multifunctional Space
To deliver a space that functioned as both office and showroom, zoning was key. The “living room” area was anchored by a bespoke backlit bookcase — a piece that is both practical and atmospheric. It provides storage for brochures, space for decorative displays, and a warm glow that softens the entire room. A large taped rug grounds the zone while helping with noise reduction, and layers of table lamps, plants, and accessories complete the inviting aesthetic.
The office zone was approached with the same attention to balance and clarity. Instead of cluttering the room with multiple desks, we designed one large table divided into four distinct workstations. This streamlined layout kept the space clean and cohesive. The reclaimed timber top tied beautifully to the floor, bringing rustic warmth, while pendant task lights above defined the zone. Vintage-inspired office chairs completed the look, merging practicality with the lived-in character of natural materials.
A Space That Reflects a Brand
Restful Retail demonstrates how commercial interiors can transcend function to create a true brand experience. Every detail was designed to support Grantley’s relaunch — a space that feels approachable, considered, and inspiring, while still delivering efficiency for staff.
We are excited to continue our collaboration with The Grantley Group, weaving their new brand identity into additional commercial spaces. This project represents the first step in a broader journey, one that places design at the centre of customer experience.
✨ At SP Interiors, we believe commercial spaces should inspire as much as they serve. By combining brand identity with thoughtful design, we create environments that enrich experience, attract clients, and exceed expectations.
