 (ARA) - Appearances count, especially when it comes to the impact your office's appearance has on the productivity of your staff and the opinions of your customers. Creating the right atmosphere in the workplace can boost creativity and build corporate image.
"Decorating a workspace is a lot like decorating your home with a few important differences," says Todd Imholte of MuralsYourWay, a company that creates wallpaper murals for office décor. "You're not just trying to create a pleasing environment; you're also trying to underscore your corporate identity."
So what are the basics you should consider when decorating a workspace? Here are a few tips from the experts at MuralsYourWay:
* Find your inspiration. If your workspace has some unique architectural feature - such as being located in a 19th century warehouse or having a great view of the city skyline - draw on that for your inspiration. Build your design theme around your inspiration.
* Decide on a theme that incorporates your inspiration and suits your corporate identity.
* Take measurements and create a floor plan. Design software can make generating a detailed floor plan a snap. Your plan should take into account the physical realities of the space - ceiling height, square footage, location of doors and windows, etc.
* Take full advantage of wall space to create a focal point and a corporate identity. For example, at www.MuralsYourWay.com, you can have your company logo turned into a custom-sized, easy-to-install wallpaper mural. Or, you can choose from thousands of images - from cityscapes and Tuscan villas to sporting events and nature scenes - to create an office focal point that communicates your brand identity.
* Don't overlook the importance of lighting. Of course you need functional, task-lighting to illuminate work areas, but remember that accent lighting further sets the mood in an office. Your goal is to create an environment that is bright and uplifting without being harshly lit.
* Control office clutter with stylish solutions. The size of your workspace will help decide the scale of your office furnishings, but it's possible to find great-looking storage solutions to fit with virtually any design theme.
* Add some life to the environment. Plants are a great way to make a space feel fresh, green and inviting. Plus, plants pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and return clean oxygen to the air, helping improve an office's indoor air quality.
To get started turning your workspace into a brand-building, stimulating environment, visit www.MuralsYourWay.com and download a free office design guide. You can also begin browsing thousands of wallpaper murals or obtain a free estimate on creating your own custom design.
