Your commercial property tells a story. It tells customers and employees about your business, and it helps them feel welcome in the space. If it looks run down or shows obvious signs of wear and tear, you need to update it so your business continues to look professional and inviting.
With the following tips, you can help your commercial space look like new again. And you'll even boost your property value in the process.
1. Tint Windows
Tinting your building's windows gives the glass a sleek, clean look. It also limits the number of UV rays that enter your property, reduces harmful glares, and prevents your furniture and flooring from fading as quickly.
A professional window tinting company can provide you with an array of colors as well. No matter how many windows you need tinted, you'll find a shade that suits your preference and helps your building stand out — without sacrificing quality.
2. Etch Glass
Your commercial property's windows shouldn't be the only glass feature to get updated. With glass etching, sometimes called glass frosting, you can decorate your building's interior with minimal effort. Again, a professional can assist you with this renovation.
Frosting your interior glass helps your space look open and bright while increasing privacy and adding eye-grabbing designs throughout the area.
3. Replace or Update Doors
Do your doors look worn or damaged? Do they stick closed or refuse to shut? Or does the hardware seem tarnished? Replace any doors that are too old or mucked up. Paint any doors that are still in good condition, and swap out the hardware to give your space a refreshed look.
If you'd like, you can remove most internal doors entirely and opt for an open floorplan. Consult with a contractor and determine which option works best to fit your vision and preserve your building's structural integrity.
4. Adjust Your Systems
No one wants to visit or work in a building with defunct plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. Have a professional inspect these parts of your building and make any necessary repairs.
If your systems work well, replace the accessories and hardware to further elevate your building's interior look. Swap out faucets, toilets, flooring, and backsplashes as your budget allows.
5. Update Security and Safety Processes
You (and anyone else inside your commercial property) want to feel safe while inside. Examine your property's security system and safety measures and then update these features as appropriate.
Install keyless locks or security scanners and security cameras throughout your building. If you can afford to staff security personnel, do so. Additionally, you should improve safety processes to keep your building up to code. Replace broken or dim lights, tape down loose cords, push in chairs, and post caution signs to increase workplace safety.
These updates may seem unnecessary at first, but visitors and staff members appreciate knowing they'll be safe while in your property.
6. Refurbish or Replace Furniture
Why update your space's interior or exterior if you're going to fill your building with old, worn furniture? Refurbish chairs, couches, desks, and tables where possible. If doing so is more cost effective, replace old furniture with newer pieces — you can even shop at consignment furniture stores for quality pieces that won't break the bank.
7. Paint the Exterior
If your building's exterior seems dirty and dated, wash and paint it. You might opt for neutral colors that never get outdated, or you could choose a bright hue to add a nice splash of color to attract attention.
