In business it is important to create the right impression. Your reception area is the first point of call for visitors and clients which makes it extremely important to showcase your business. Recently I was commissioned to re-design a local firm of accountants reception area. The client wanted to create better storage and a more comfortable area for waiting clients. The need for the staff to undertake confidential work out of sight was also of high importance. They wanted to achieve a look that would give the right impression for their business and this meant a complete overhaul and change of colour scheme.
Looking at their corporate colours (green, black and white) was where the inspiration and design came from. Builders were instructed to strip the wood chip from the walls but being mindful that as a georgian building the walls could be fragile. The ceiling was removed and new spot downlighters were positioned in the new ceiling. Built in cupboards give the receptionists incredible storage and keep the desks clutter free. A fresh green colour was painted on the walls and accented in the accessories and carpet.
The existing logo was outdated and they wanted to create a new corporate image. Dealing with new, growing and established companies gave me the idea to use acorn, sapling and mighty oak images for wall art. These images were enlarged and printed on canvas boards which now adorn the wall!
The transformation is complete and the clients are delighted with the results. So who do you know who could do with some help to create the right first impression?
