Tips and Hacks to Maximise the Aesthetic Appeal of Your Commercial Unit

06 January 2022

Constructing commercial properties are booming nowadays, and the struggle that comes with it – is on how to design and develop an exterior like no other. Commercial property owners need to impress their clients to stand out from the highly-competitive industry. Luckily, below are design and development tips for constructing commercial properties.

Create an Entrance that Entices Your Clients

If you want to get your clients through the doors of your commercial property, you need to make a lasting impression by creating a front entrance that leaves them wanting more. You might choose contrasting colours or the colours of your brand. You can opt to add effective lighting and seating that puts your clients at ease. Soft comforts such as plants and rugs can create a warm and welcoming effect.

Use the Right External Materials

Regardless of whether you are in a new or old commercial property, the materials you choose to use on the exterior can make a difference. Are you looking for something that is aesthetically striking or modern or do you want something that fits in with the surrounding?

Make Use of the Right Windows

The windows you opt to install in your commercial property must be durable, but they also have to look good. Small windows won’t let enough light into your property but they also won’t look great. You want something that fits in with the design of your property, but also ensures that they create an impact. Of course, there are many different designs available, so choose windows that are functional, durable and finish off the look of your property.

Create the Right Lighting

There is no denying that light is crucial in any workplace, but to get it right you will need to use the correct lighting to create a certain look within the interior of your property. You might require more lighting in some areas than others, and you might also require specific types of lighting. Consider your options and determine what kind of illumination you require.

Create Flow within Your Property

You don’t want the different areas within your property to feel or look as though they are separated. This is not an easy task, but creating that flow can include different materials depending on the sections while the correct lighting will help sections flow into each other.

Bring Colours Together

The colours you choose to use on the office exterior should come down to personal preference, or you might want them to reflect the image of your brand. So, you can either choose bold colours or simple colours. If you want to play it safe and avoid contrasting colours, you could choose two colours but in different shades to create an element of contrast. I

Landscape the Exterior

If there are areas around the property that can be adapted to include plants, shrubs or trees, then you can make your property stand out while making it look more inviting. Remember that plants, trees and grass can take time to become established, so you will need to wait before it matures.
