Interior design is one of those practices that we all like to assume we’re relatively skilled in. We know what we like and how our taste is applied; if not, those things come with time.
As such, you might not need to hire an interior designer for your commercial premises. Even the best professional designer would likely understand. That being said, professional interior design services such as Design Identity Group offer a masterful plethora of services that leverage the space in ways you wouldn’t have considered otherwise.
In this post, we’ll discuss how such services might unlock the value of your commercial interior:
Creating a Cohesive Branded Experience
Interior design isn’t just about function but about identity. From the color schemes that reflect your brand and help natural light flow to how furniture placement, color, texture, and signage combine to create navigable areas, even making certain spaces obviously inaccessible to those without permission. A cohesive brand experience is more than just design; it’s about making your own space yours. That’s the power an interior designer can unlock.
Maximizing Utility, Productivity and Workflow
The right interior layout directly impacts productivity in office spaces and other areas of staff congregation. Designers plan areas for collaboration, private focus, and other work needs to optimize workflow. Simple things like lighting and noise control also make a difference between areas, ensuring that your manufacturing or production spaces don’t impede your quieter departments or waiting areas.
Staying Regulation-Compliant
Trying to renovate an older commercial space on your own almost always risks overlooking codes and regulations. Professional designers stay updated on applicable building codes, always ensuring renovations meet all safety, accessibility, and legal requirements. That will ensure a space is well designed without impeding fire safety efforts or disability access, for example.
Designing Pleasant, Inviting Areas
While personal style preferences are certainly yours to make (it’s your premises, after all), interior designers bring years of experience and a less biased but still artistic perspective to space planning. They balance form, function, scale, and balance that the untrained eye can easily miss. Still, they also allow space for the general growth of the space, not providing the “final picture” without the ability to make changes or adjustments.
This actually empowers you, as opposed to taking away your creative direction. That also means the adaptability and growth of the space become a functional part of its design, not just an afterthought.
Value For Money and Connections
A designer’s industry know-how also grants access to specific vendors, tradespeople, and supply lines that may be tough to find otherwise or gain from your general decorative store. This means they can access high-quality, commercial-grade materials at better prices.
This means the final price of an interior design service, especially with its longevity, future relevance, and perfect design ambition, pays for itself many times over. As such, there’s almost no better method than using interior designers to refurbish that interior commercial space.
