Running a customer-facing business comes with its own share of challenges. Making sure staff and premises are presentable, securing the premises against opportunistic thieves, and ensuring there is a safe route through the property for staff and customers. Presentation although not closely linked to the safety and security of the business, is often the first thing your customers take note of. A tired or messy appearance is going to resonate poorly with your visitors and can even put them off trying the services at all.
To attract customers to your business, appearance needs to be a top priority. Regularly maintaining the premises including repainting walls, keeping surfaces, windows, and mirrors clean, and bringing in some additional decor can make a huge difference. For this guide, we are going to focus on bringing some natural elements into your business and the benefit of doing so, read on for further inspiration.
What Are The Benefits of Bringing Natural Elements Into Your Business Decor
Natural materials tend to involve earthy, neutral colors and hues of greens, these colors are known for invoking positive feelings and help give spaces a more organic feel. Using live plants can also improve the atmosphere of your business as green plants naturally clean the air, recycling carbon dioxide, and other harmful toxins into oxygen.
It’s not always possible to introduce a lot of natural light into your workspace but by bringing in some plants that grow well in shaded areas, you can invoke that feeling of nature and promote positivity and productivity.
Choosing Artificial Grass Natural Plants or Both
Choosing the type of natural decoration you are going to bring into your business can be tricky with so many different types to choose from.
If you run a busy office and are worried about the upkeep of live plants, artificial grass can be an excellent solution. Requiring no watering, no mowing, and very little maintenance - you only need to regularly brush artificial grass used as flooring to return the bounce to the grass fibers and remove any debris.
But the floor isn’t the only option, artificial grass can be used as wall coverings, doormats, and table runners and we’ve even seen artificial grass used as table placeholder mats and coasters! Artificial grass has come a long way in recent years and by investing in quality grass, you can expect realistic-looking artificial lawns that are soft to the touch.
Live plants
Live plants will clean the air of your premises or offices, keeping things fresh and promoting positivity but do require regular upkeep otherwise you can end up with dying/rotting plant life that is worse than a bare room. You can use a mix of green shrubs and non-flowering plants or introduce some more color into your space by incorporating some more flowering plants such as lilies and marigolds.
Alternatively, you can use a combination of the two! Using artificial grass flooring in the entryway of your premises and decorating various level shelving and surfaces with a plant or two. Or create an artificial grass wall complete with flashes of color from inserted plastic flowers and sit behind a water feature, this is sure to capture the attention of your visitors when they walk in and doesn’t need to be an expansive, expensive project.
Don’t neglect your outside spaces either, if you’ve got a bit of space that you maintain outside your building, make sure this is presentable and tidy, and add some natural greenery. It’s a great way to turn the heads of anyone walking past and encourage them to take a look inside.
Whichever blend of plant life you choose to use in your professional space is guaranteed to make a difference and create a welcoming environment for both staff and customers.
