Decorating Office and Commercial Spaces

Decorating Office and Commercial Spaces

Create an environment that fits your business.  The look should be consistent with your company and industry.  Whether it is a solid professional look, something trendy and current, or industrial and functional; you will want the space to feel inviting and useable for both clients and employees.

Choose High Quality Paint

High quality paints give better coverage, durability and a smoother finish that resists fading, therefore giving your commercial space a great look that lasts longer.  A good commercial painting contractor will be knowledgeable and be able to guide you in selecting the best choice.

Color Choices

Pick colors that go with the feel you want to convey.  Traditional style professional businesses may want to choose more subtle or neutral tones while more creative style businesses may be better served with more visual interest in color.  Note that darker colors can add depth or warmth to a room while lighter colors add space or lightness.  You can add dark colors as an accent on one wall or trim to add distinction without closing in the space.  Consider how furniture colors will interact with your paint choices.  Test a sample of your paint color in a room so you can see how it interacts with the other elements in the room, including carpeting, furniture and lighting unless you are starting with a completely new look throughout.

Sheen Considerations

The degree of gloss is a consideration for the painting of interior commercial spaces.  Higher gloss paints will hold up better to cleaning and high traffic areas or to accent perfect surfaces while flatter or matte paints are better for backgrounds walls or areas that don’t get as much traffic.
