Commercial Flooring Options

If you’ve decided to remodel your commercial space, congratulations! You’re off on a fun and exciting journey to showcase your business’s style, brand, and mission through the look and feel of a space designed just for you. 

One major aspect of your space will be the floors. Choosing the right floors isn’t just about budget or “look.” It’s also about durability and function.

Budget: First, obviously budget will be a factor in your design. Flooring for an entire office can get expensive, and knowing right up front what your budget is will go along way in narrowing down your choices for you.  Options like luxury vinyl will be less expensive than hardwood.

Type of business: If you have a high-traffic business, like a specialty grocery store or retail store, you’ll probably want to steer clear of harder-to-maintain flooring options like carpet. However, professional office buildings can often benefit from a combination of elegant tile or hardwood in a reception area followed by lush carpet in offices and conference rooms.

For the budget conscious: Luxury vinyl tile or carpet will be less expensive options for your remodel. Both of these come in a huge variety of styles and colors. LVT will be easier to maintain and keep clean than carpet, but if you’re in a small office setting, or in a business that doesn’t see a ton of foot traffic, carpet provides a nice, noise-dampening and “warm” option for your space.

For the professional office space tile or engineered hardwood can provide a sophisticated look and feel while also being easy to maintain during winter months with ice and snow  getting tracked in.

Finally, some projects will require a more specialized flooring. If you’re working with a warehouse space or one that needs super durable flooring, you’ll need to consider options like polished concrete. 

Specialty floors, like those for basketball courts, are unique to your building and situation. At North Peak we’re happy to consult with you on all aspects of your project, from beginning to end! 

Office Interior Design Ideas

Designing an office can be an experience that releases your creativity. A new style elevates how the environment feels for staff and clients that come in the doors. First impressions are everything. With numerous styles, deciding on one look that appeals to the eye can be a big decision. To help make your design decision, here are some growing trends.

First, a Few Tips:

  • Before diving into the biggest trends and what’s “popular,” your office should inspire you. These elements should be included to make the space enjoyable and unique.
  • Functional Floor Plan: Make the most of the layout. Even if there is no open floor plan, optimize the space for easy movement and room for different things.
  • Comfort and Practicality: Invest in stylish, comfortable furniture. A cozy chair to grind out a task and a relaxing couch to take a break promotes well-being.
  • Lighting: This simple part of the office is crucial for various reasons. Lighting can impact productivity and mood. Poor lighting can cause eye strain and fatigue and decrease employees’ concentration and satisfaction. Natural and artificial lighting can be used to reduce stress and enhance mood.
  • Brand Identity: Design the office that feels authentic to your brand. This can include color scheme, décor, and anything else that reflects your brand’s aesthetic.

Design Inspiration:

  • Industrial chic

This style offers a moody design, a color pallet of cool tones, such as blacks, charcoals, and grays, and a touch of earthy warm tones of rust, copper, and weathered wood for character. To bring this style to life, exposed brick walls, concrete floors, reclaimed natural wood and metal accents add to the industrial charm. To make the look complete, you want furniture that combines vintage metal and wood materials, keeping comfort in mind.

  1. Modern Minimalism

A modern look is always a solid interior design choice, where you can add authentic details that accompany your brand. Opt for neutral white, beige, gray, and black colors to dominate the space. Your accent colors should fit into the brand’s theme; if you’re unsure, try out a calming deep blue, emerald, or light shades of green or any color that suits your taste to add visual interest without overwhelming the room. Have sleek and clean materials: polished concrete or marble tables, glass, metal, and smooth Scandinavian wood to tie in the modern minimalist design. Incorporate simple furniture with geometric shapes and clean lines to complement the contemporary style.

  1. Bohemian Eclectic

A unique take on interior design, bohemian eclectic will turn eyes with the mix of vibrant colors, patterns, and textures. Bring in the rich and colorful palette of jewel tones like deep purple, red, turquoise, and earthy tones of sage green, terracotta, and ochre to get the bohemian look. A bohemian style requires natural materials such as rattan and bamboo. To add some flare and texture, include patterned rugs and embroidered fabrics. Selecting vintage furniture with intricate details and soft colors adds to the theme. Comfort is also essential, incorporating poufs, pillows, and a low-slung couch.

  1. Elegant Contemporary

An elegant contemporary is a sophisticated take on design for a classic yet luxurious feel. The color pallets feature cream, charcoal, and taupe with accented jewel hues. Materials such as velvet, brass, polished wood, and marble bring out the elegance. Furniture that is elegant and refined with high-quality finishes or has upholstery covers to protect and provide comfort made of fabric or leather material.

Interior design does not have to conform to a particular style or theme if that’s not true for your company. These design ideas provide inspiration and guidance to find a style that works and feels raw. Don’t be afraid to experiment and go through trial and error to achieve an office space that is not only aesthetically pleasing but adaptable to the work environment’s constant changes.
