Designing Your Commercial Space
Finding the inspiration to create the perfect commercial space whether you are designing a retail space, commercial office block or restaurant can be a challenge, but also an exciting one. You will have an idea of the type of people that will be using the commercial space and how you want them to feel when they are in there so the next step is to design the environment and all the elements that will make the space come together
As this is a very organic process you will probably find inspiration for designing the space comes from many different places – here is a quick overview of some great places to get inspiration for your next commercial space:
Current Commercial Spaces
One of the biggest ways to find inspiration if you are renovating, designing or taking over a commercial space is to visit as many as you can. You can great ideas about what works (and possibly more important what really doesn’t work) from walking through spaces to see how they have approached the design. Take notes, take photographs and remember to not only look at the specifics of the design but also ask yourself does the space work, can you find everything easily, is it interesting and also how does it make you feel when you are in there.
Inspirational Social Feeds
Pinterest and Instagram are two of the biggest social networks on the planet and as they are visuals based they have a never-ending stream of ideas. Simply look for commercial interiors on either of these platforms and a whole host of images will come to the fore for you to look through and be inspired by. Sometimes the volume of imagery can be overwhelming so instead perhaps follow some interiors influencers on these channels as they tend to share what is the new and innovative ideas first.
