Is It Time To Upgrade Your Business Premises?
After a bumpy year for businesses, some normality is starting to return. Employees are being encouraged back to work, stores are opening and foot traffic is starting to make its way back. There has never been a better time than now to consider the aesthetics of your business premises and whether it is time for a facelift. Whether you are welcoming customers, staff, or both back you want to welcome them back to the best version of your business you can. Here are some upgrades to consider that will revamp your business space.
Keep it clean
It is an easy and cost-effective way to start but keeping your business clean is paramount, now so more than ever. For safety and hygiene reasons, of course, but cleanliness and lack of clutter also make your space feel bigger and more inviting. Regular cleaning of your business should be undertaken anyway but consider hiring the professionals to give it a deep professional clean to get to all the places you can’t, or don’t.
Consider the flooring
How long has your current flooring been in situ? Have customers been treading the same tiles for a decade now? Upgrading the flooring of premises can have an unparalleled impact. It can make it appear, bigger, brighter, more contemporary and not to mention be more practical for the premises itself. Perhaps you need flooring that is safe, non-slip, and durable then consider upgrading to epoxy flooring, or perhaps you want an ultra-modern office space for 2021 that Herringbone flooring lends itself to. Whether you are an industrial plant or city office jot down your needs when it comes to a new floor and spend a little time doing some research to learn more about the options available to you.

Maintain paintwork
Again, this is an easy fix that does not have to cost the earth but can have a huge impact. Flaky paint and unkempt walls scream unprofessionalism and distill confidence in your business. Ensuring your paintwork is kept intact is a simple way of hiding any imperfections but also maintaining a high level of care for the building and by proxy your business. Depending on the time you have available and the size of your premises you may want to consider hiring professional tradesmen to complete the job for you.
Improve the entrance
The first thing customers, staff or guests see when they arrive at your premises is the entrance so the last thing you want is to make a bad first impression. You want your entrance to be warm and welcoming. If you sell goods you want to have them on display. Keep the entrance tidy and well kept. Consider utilizing some potted plants or small potted trees to add some color and the relaxing feel that only nature can bring with it. Take pride in your business on both the in and outside.
Upgrade the furniture
Finally, take a look around at the furniture in your place of business, has it seen better days? Is it barely functional? Whether your business is customer-facing or predominancy office furniture if it is looking a little worse for wear then it is time to upgrade it. Not only will it improve the aesthetics and customer experience it will improve the comfort of your staff.
