How to upgrade your commercial space

Commercial properties can be attractive for investment purposes and business models, providing adaptable spaces that satisfy a range of functions.

Many factors contribute to the value of a commercial space, with its appearance being something that everyone will take note of including both the interior and exterior. There will also come a time when the building needs an upgrade or refresh. Whether this be before a business moves in or as a consequence of branding. Smaller, simpler renovations can make a huge difference, helping to make a space more appealing whilst also improving the final value if it were to be put back on the market.

Here are a few ways you can upgrade your commercial space without too much disruption.

First impressions count, especially when it comes to business and the workplace. When designing or upgrading an office, warehouse or industrial site, make sure to take extra care of the entranceway or reception area if you have one. This includes adding branding, upgrading technology, installing modern flooring and lighting and accessorising with furniture or artwork.

Offering sustainable solutions and alternatives is now a huge factor which many employees, customers, investors and suppliers look out for, and it’s getting increasingly more important for businesses to upgrade a workplace and work towards personal and government targets. There are a number of ways in which you can improve the energy efficiency of a commercial property including installing new windows, opting for renewable energy, focusing on insulation and setting up modern software that works on sensors.

Swapping out the smallest features can actually make a huge difference. When upgrading a commercial space, this doesn’t have to mean ripping the floors up and starting from fresh, replacing smaller fixtures and fittings can bring a new lease of life into a room and add a modern touch to accessories such as plug sockets, lights, doors, storage units and desks.

Many companies may also opt for a re-fit of their facilities e.g. kitchens or washrooms.

Contributing to the exterior and interior of a building, your windows and doors not only affect the aesthetic of a space but also impact things such as energy usage, insulation, temperature, safety and functionality. Although window and door frames last a long time, replacing these can bring a brand-new vibe to a space, especially if your old ones are looking tired or damaged. Modern windows and doors also come with modern features. This includes advanced locking systems, U-value ratings, reflective coatings, reversibility and energy efficiency.

Customers and employees love a company with some personality, and the workplace is the ideal space to add a sense of community and character. When upgrading your commercial property, whether it be an office or leisure centre, adding some colour and branding is an easy and effective way to create a welcoming and attractive atmosphere. Commercial interior design could also include features such as furniture, lighting and textiles, space planning and painting and decorating.
