The decor you choose for your business says a lot about your personal taste, your style and the nature of the business. The decorating style you choose also sets the tone for customer interactions, providing that all important first impression when visitors walk through the door. Making sure that the first impression customers, clients and others get is strong can be a real challenge, especially when the business in question is a bank. Bank offices should exude an air of sophistication, style and understated elegance to their clients. Managers must include those elements as part of the decorating theme.
Hang on a Concrete Wall
Decorating your basement can make the space more usable and welcoming. One common issue, however, when decorating some basements is hanging items on concrete walls. Some simply stick adhesive hooks to the wall, but these cannot support a lot of weight and may be unable to adhere to the porous surface. Instead, drill anchor holes to anchor the hook to the wall. This method will work to hang items on both smooth and concrete block walls. Use plastic anchors if your item is less than 20 lbs. and metal anchors if it is more than 20 lbs.

Decorate With a Knotty Pine Theme
Knotty pine once was reserved exclusively for cabins in the mountains and cottages by the lake. Today, knotty pine is enjoying newfound popularity as it becomes a common decorating choice for those who want to add a rustic touch to their homes. Use knotty pine throughout your home to unite modern decorating elements with your desire to create a less formal atmosphere. Or, assign knotty pine a less prominent role and simply use it as an accent to create a relaxed and homey feel. Does this Spark an idea?
Make Wall Art With Old Window Frames
Wall art doesn't need to be limited to traditionally framed paintings. Found objects, such as old window frames, can provide character to your wall decor. A vintage window's worn finish reflects a sense of history and charm. It can be used effectively to frame decorative items including a mirror paired with a vintage collage that you have created. Old windows are often regarded as scrap, but they can be transformed into appealing wall art by adding a few embellishments. Recycle a discarded window and produce an accent which will be the focal point of your room. Does this Spark an idea?
Use Writing on the Wall Decor
Artistic homeowners often enjoy decorating their homes with original or exotic items and techniques. One such technique involves attaching vinyl letters to your walls instead of hanging pictures or posters, a practice often called writing on the wall art. Some advantages include low-maintenance art and no holes in the wall from hanging frames. This art also comes in a variety of fonts, and includes some pre-made messages as well as a full array of upper and lowercase letters with which you can create your own messages. Using this art properly can add whimsy and distinctiveness to your home. Does this Spark an idea?
