Exterior Design Ideas to Improve Your Business’ Appeal

The outside of your business is the first thing most people will see so you want it to create a good impression from the start. Even if your building is like a square box there are things you can do to make the exterior look really good.

Choose Good Quality Windows

The windows are an important part of the outside of your commercial premises and the better quality ones will look the best. Not only that but also they will last longer and will need less maintenance.  Choose ones that will be easy for cleaning and that let in the maximum amount of daylight.

Textures And Colors

Using different colors and textures can make a huge difference to the overall effect when your business premises are finished. These can both add some interest to the facade but the should also be durable and hard wearing. You will not want to have to renew the outside materials on your premises every couple of years, so their sustainability is vitally important.

The different parts of your building have to look as though they belong together so be careful how the colors and textures are mixed. Colors can also be used to cover up and flaws in the property, and you should take care to opt for the ones that achieve this for you.

Have An Entrance That Is Special

Having an entrance that is special will help to make your building stand out from the rest. It needs to look good from the outside, but when people go through the doors the area they find should be warm and inviting. Friendly members of staff should also greet them or all thoughts of their first impression from the exterior will disappear.

If the entrance doors are totally glass, make sure there is something on them so people realize they are there and do not try to walk through them when they are closed. This happened more often than you may realize and all it needs is a logo perhaps painted on the door.

Always keep the inside and outside of your entrance as clean as possible, as this shows that you care and that reflects on your business.

Use Landscaping

If there is just a small bit of ground around your building you should have some landscaping done, as well as commercial paving  for the walkway into the main entrance. The smarter it looks, the better.

A few plants and a couple of trees can make all the difference to the look of a building. Of course, if you have extensive grounds then much more can be done.

Your building speaks volumes about your business and your brand and if you want it to reflect the personality of both you perhaps should speak with professional designers before spending any money on the outside. They will not only be able to suggest some great design features to you but they will also know what all the local rules are and things that the regulations will let you do or not do.
