Whether
in business or personal relationships, there’s no arguing the
importance of making a good first impression. That adage also applies to
interior environments, where the first impression of a commercial space
can set the tone for the entire customer experience. A space that is
well-maintained and visually appealing conveys professionalism and
attention to detail, building trust and confidence in the business.
Unfortunately, if left untouched, spaces that people are likely to
frequent multiple times—such as waiting rooms, lobbies and check-in
areas—will soon show their age through years of wear-and-tear and
outdated design. Beyond the first impression, businesses can set
themselves apart by providing a fresh and attractive environment.
One of the easiest ways to bring a space current is to update finishes such as sheet goods, doors, and lighting, or even by using some of the more modern design options like dimensional moldings.
These remodels can be completed fairly quickly and at a relatively low
cost compared to more extensive renovations. In a marketplace crowded
with service providers all vying for the customer’s attention, aesthetic
impact can be a good-impression multiplier that will help your
customers stand out among their competition.
