Office Refurbishment

This spring bring a new fresh look to your office!

Spring is perhaps the most temperate of the four seasons, the transition period between the cold of winter and the warmth of summer. Springtime refers to the season and broadly to ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth so if you need more space but can’t afford to move, if you have run out of room in which to conduct you business effectively and efficiently, now is the time to look at ways to address this issue. After all, it is hard to focus when you’re working shoulder to shoulder and your staff are less productive if they are feeling claustrophobic.

It is a proven fact that conditions in the workplace play an important part in the decisions employees make when accepting or leaving their posts. We spend the majority of our waking hours at work and therefore it makes sense that the surroundings in which we work have a significant impact on us. Better working environments can improve output and efficiency and retain a happier, more contented, motivated and inspired workforce.

We at GDL Interiors Ltd specialise in office refurbishment and office fit-outs in London and the Home Counties. We provide our clients with a first class service and alleviate all the pressure and disruption which accompanies changes within the workplace. At GDL Interiors we make it our business to help our clients achieve a new design/fit-out that will not only be aligned to their brand but will use intelligent space planning to change the way their staff feel and work within their designated workspace.

When considering an office refurbishment or office fit-out it is important to bear in mind the effects of colour; Colour affects people on all levels, whether within a personal or business environment. In business, colour is used to influence decision making processes and evoke different feelings in people. Colour plays a role in everything from branding and logos to image and signage, displays and print. It is therefore essential that great consideration be given to colour when deciding how to decorate your workspace. For example: if you work in a traditionally conservative industry like banking or legal services you’re better off choosing a neutral colour such as light green, beige or a shade of white; if your business is traditionally staffed by more creative types such as designers or artists then you may prefer to opt for brighter, stronger colours.

If the area to be Refurbished is one which is accessible or visible to your clients or the public, then this is an ideal opportunity to incorporate the company logo or branding whether it be through manifestation on glass partitioning or on painted walls, within the carpet or carpet tiles or signage. There is a huge choice available which we are only too happy to discuss with you at our initial site survey which is free of charge.

Another factor to consider is the use of natural lighting, it has been proved that, if used correctly, this will enhance the working environment, increasing harmony amongst employees. The installation of glass partitioning allows natural light to flood into the workplace which creates an open airy feeling. It offers the privacy required and reduces noise pollution. Lighting and creative manifestations, company logos and corporate colours can all add style and panache to the final design (see glass partitioning in our services).

There are numerous options available to you for your office refurbishment project and we at GDL Interiors Ltd are here to help you achieve your ideal solution.
