It’s officially springtime! And you know what that means—it’s time to do a little spring cleaning. In the same way that decluttering can make you healthier and happier, redecorating is a great way to create an environment that helps generate fresh ideas, boost creativity, and ramp up productivity levels.

Redecorating or redesigning a business space can be an overwhelming undertaking. To make the process a bit easier for you, the Planning Interiors team has put together some of our biggest secrets to refreshing an office space effectively and efficiently.

A Fresh Coat of Paint Can Do Wonders

A quick, easy, and cost-effective way to reinvigorate your office space is through investing in a new paint job. Painting is a great way to instantly give any room a quick pick-me-up and change up the ambiance. Why? Well, color is a powerful tool in the design world due to its innate ability to affect the mood of rooms and spaces of all kinds – from your bedroom to your business’ reception area. For example, many businesses like to use the color blue in their office design in order to foster a sense of trust and productivity.

Make Room for Nature

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again–integrating plant life is a must when it comes to office design. Several studies have shown that office workers tend to be more productive when exposed to nature; thus, many businesses have begun to incorporate plant-life, natural materials, and nature motifs into their branding and office design. Some of our favorite ways to incorporate nature into commercial interior design projects is through using sustainable materials like wood and stone for flooring and furniture pieces. We also love to use lush, leafy plant-life across all areas of the office, from breakout rooms to conference rooms.

Lighting Matters

Corporate businesses have long been known for having harsh, sterile, and white lighting in their office spaces. If your business hasn’t abandoned this tried-and-true trend, now is the time to change that. Lighting has a profound impact on employees and clients, and it has a direct influence on your mood. It’s important to invest time and money into ensuring that lighting is not too dim and not too bright. At Planning Interiors, we are huge advocates of integrating natural light wherever possible. Not only is natural light aesthetically pleasing, but it has well-documented, positive effects on employee satisfaction and productivity.
