Optimising your office doesn’t need to be difficult. With working space at a premium, it is essential to make the most of the footage available to you. Taking the time to customise and creatively design that space can bring a number of benefits to your work, letting you enjoy maximum returns for a minimal outlay.
So, how exactly can a featured wall improve your space and what exactly do you need to make a difference to your professional environment.
What is a feature wall?
A form of bespoke wallpaper, a feature wall can be quickly deployed to your chosen space. Your chosen design includes a great deal of variety from end-to-end coverage, spot designs, and more.
Much more cost-effective than a full design, a feature wall is highly customisable and can be deployed – and removed – with ease. This makes it an attractive proposition for many businesses looking to detail conference spaces, add flavour to social spaces, or address site-specific challenges or opportunities.
This can then be directly applied to the space and involve any design you prefer. This can be pre-existing, a bespoke look that is uniquely yours, or anything inbetween.
What are the advantages?
With many companies choosing to review their space, design, and layout in the wake of Covid-19, feature walls carry a number of distinct advantages. These include, but are not limited to-
High Flexibility: No matter your location, a feature wall can be deployed to make an aesthetic change to your space. This can range from small spaces, large corporate structures, and everything inbetween. Or if you are facing unique challenges with your current layout, these can be adopted into your layout with minimal to no compromise.
Detailed Customisation: If you want it, your provider can make it. Modern printing and design technology allows providers to quickly craft, prototype, and deploy a unique design from your space. This can include any graphics, colours, styles, and looks imaginable. And finding the right team to work with can help your imagination be your only limit…or just make good use of their professional experience.
Build your brand: In addition to making your workspace more enjoyable for your staff and clients, a feature wall can be a way to brand your space or review your existing design. This can easily match your existing in-house style, drive change throughout your work, or help modernise and redefine your look.
What should I ask before settling on a design?
While any reliable provider will be able to walk you through the process, it can be helpful to take some time to review your requirements before picking up the phone or sending an initial email. Some key variables to consider include-
Dimensions and use of space: Taking the time to capture information about your dimensions, available light, and how the space is currently used can help your provider provide a quality level of initial support.
Purpose and Design: Thinking about your preferred design and how you would like it to be implemented is key. This can be as simple as a blow-up of your brand, a fresh design based on your established in-house style, or a look that is spun up from scratch. It can also be a great way to review your extant branding and make some small tweaks that can then be easily implemented across your business.
Key Goals and Objectives: While ‘making things look nice’ is a perfectly valid goal, it can be much more helpful to push for concrete objectives. This can involve creating an impactful first point of contact for clients. Or it can help define and detail your office spaces. Or it can mark out distinct working spaces for your current workflow. And if there are quick wins or innovative solutions that pop up along the way, those can be considered too.
