How to Decorate Your Business Premises for Success

If you’ve been rewarded a business grant from the government during the pandemic, you might find yourself with some extra cash to boost your business. Whether you’re a café, a shop or a small office, we’ve got some great ways in which you can decorate your business premises for success.

So if you’re about to start your own business or want to improve on your current place, there’s a lot to think about. Check out these tips for decorating a business space.

Colours

The colours you choose will represent your brand’s style. According to this guide, greens and blues are the most common paint colours used within a business setting. Blue tends to work for waiting rooms and offices, while greens add life into a retail space. Of course, white is also a big contender; it’s simple, easy to touch up, and contrasted with coloured furniture.

Just because these are standard colours for a workplace doesn’t mean you have to do the same. If you’re opening your own café, bold colours like oranges, pinks, or reds can add personality to your space; if you can make your business ‘Instagram-worthy’, you’ll be a big hit with the younger generation.

Flooring

After a long day waiting for customers, serving up meals, or styling hair, the last thing you want to do is spend hours cleaning. And, if you’re expecting to have high traffic areas in your café or shop, you’ll want to make sure you invest in flooring that’s built to last.

Vinyl click flooring is easy to install, hardwearing, and easy to maintain. A winning combination for small business owners who are balancing work and home priorities.  This easy to mop, sweep, and clean flooring choice is an affordable option that will stand time tests. Plus, if you take your brand in a new direction, it won’t cost a fortune to replace it with a different design.

Alternatively, for high traffic areas, wood flooring is another great investment and adds an Eco, urban vibe to your space.

Furniture

Office furniture, café tables, and hairdresser’s appliances all need to be durable, comfortable, and compliant with fire regulations (e.g., Upholstery needs to be fire retardant). But other than that, furniture is the best way to add a sense of character to the workspace.

Whether you opt for standing desks in the office, vintage antiques, and furniture in a coffee shop, or plush velvet waiting for seats in a salon, furniture is your chance to create your own style.

Exterior

Something that can easily be forgotten about is the exterior of your business. Your café might be the nicest, coolest café in town, but without an eye-catching, friendly exterior, it’s unlikely to see real traction. Make sure to give the outside of your business space a good lick of paint, as well as a great designed sign.

Designing a business premises is both exciting and stressful – it can set you apart from other businesses on the street or deter people from visiting. It’s important to remember to keep it simple, easy to maintain, and true to your brand’s messaging.
