5 Benefits of a commercial interior designer
Whatever type of business or premises you own, interior design is a critical component to ensuring the success of your venue.
Whether a hotel, office, cafe, bar, restaurant or store, the functionality and aesthetics of your business play a huge part in the successful operation and how well the environment meets the needs of your guests, customers and staff.
Great Interior design can not only provide you with a beautiful space but creating spaces that reflect your brand’s identity and offer a unique customer experience.
1) Understanding your brief and the space to be designed
This is the initial consultation where formal introductions are made. It is the starting point and foundation for any design project, and it is the stage which involves us getting to know you and your vision so that we can understand what you are looking for and your specific requirements, merging functionality and style in a way that will improve the overall success of a business.
It’s important that we take the time to understand your vision for the space and how it will be used by your customers and/or staff, including identifying primary entry/exit points, the flow of the space and its context so that we can work up plans that align with your goals. A commercial interior design professional will help you utilize the entire space in a functional, cost-effective, and aesthetically pleasing way.
We can also create a space that allows for future growth planning. We look at the bigger picture and consider options that might make your space more versatile.
2) Helping you to stand out
Before coming up with any new concept, we undertake a full S.W.O.T. analysis, identifying the local area and surrounding businesses and competition. This allows us to identify your customer profile which will help us to better understand their needs and expectations. This then fine-tunes the direction and detail of our design development of your brand and venue.
A ‘brand’ offers customers a unique experience and evokes emotions towards the brand identity. This is why it is essential for businesses to consider branding throughout their entire interior space. We spend time understanding or developing your brand, targeted market demographics and the customer journey before proposing a design concept.
3) Creating an optimal design with the right atmosphere for your business
Owning or leasing a commercial space is not a cheap enterprise and so, to maximize the return on investment (ROI), every square foot of space should be effectively used. We have dealt with indoor spaces of all sizes and layouts and will always try to maximize your space in a way that is functional, cost-effective, and aesthetically pleasing.
A commercial space that has been effectively designed can leave a significant impression on clients and customers. Not only should it improve the space’s performance and appearance, it should have a positive impact on your bottom line & brand.
For instance, a retail location that is aesthetically appealing and simple to navigate has a greater chance of persuading customers to make a purchase.
4) Ensuring building compliance
When renovating a commercial space, compliance with UK building regulations is imperative.
To ensure the regulatory requirements are met, we will help you determine which aspects of the space can be altered and which must remain unchanged.
When planning a new venue or renovation, we will consider:
Structural layout of the premises. For example, walls to be removed or cut back, reconfiguration of fundamental service areas such as toilets or kitchen facilities, staircases or new structural elements
Conformity of the building to the relevant fire, accessibility and safety regulations
Environmental sustainability requirements
Signage and planning requirements
5) Avoid costly mistakes
Embarking on a new business venture or renovation project can be an exhilarating adventure. Knowing how to create the right ambience or create a concept within your space can be challenging and costly if not done well.
A professional interior designer is so much more than a decorator. In reality, by attempting to do it yourself, you are likely to spend more money than you budgeted for and use up precious time you could have been spending on running your business. Designers ensure you get the best value accross a cohesive design and will help you understand where the money is going.
