Employees who work for a commercial company spend a lot of time each week at the office interacting with clients, processing data, answering phones and maintaining important business documents. Whether you already run a commercial office or you are opening up a new business, consider employees and clients when decorating the office space. A stimulating and positive work environment can have a significant impact on employee productivity, teamwork and customer satisfaction, reports the Credit Union National Association HR/TD Council. Use a variety of decorations to make your commercial office a pleasant environment.
Do Pinstripe Walls
Pinstripes are thin lines of contrasting color, most commonly found on fabric. The New York Yankees, for example, have pinstripes on their uniforms: thin blue pinstripes on white fabric. Business suits also often have pinstripes, typically white or gray pinstripes on a black or dark gray fabric. Pinstripes can add visual interest to your walls. The key to a pinstripe look is keeping the pinstripes small and evenly spaced. Use pinstripes on all the walls of a room, or just one wall to create an accent wall. Does this Spark an idea?
Make Fake Stone Walls With Plaster
Avoid the cost of real stone by using a faux finish technique to create the look of aged stone and rock. Apply light-weight joint compound to a home's walls to mimic textured stone. The joint compound can be painted a variety of colors from charcoal gray to chocolate brown. Adding the plaster to the wall is time consuming. Plan accordingly for the project. Don't forget, the faux stone wall is a permanent finish and cannot be removed. Does this Spark an idea?
Paint a Music Staff on Your Wall
A music staff has five black lines running horizontally, and a number of lines running vertically, spaced evenly to create the sections called bars, or measures, of the staff. The height of the staff is separated by the horizontal lines, which create four sections. The horizontal lines and spaces are where the notes of the song are placed. At the beginning of each song there is a symbol called a treble clef and numbers, which are the time signature. Does this Spark an idea?
Build a River Rock Wall
River rock walls are built by stacking rocks and securing them with layers of mixed cement. If you build one against a slope, you must provide access for water runoff by inserting pieces of drain pipe behind the wall and back-filling with pea gravel and soil. It can be a back-breaking task, but if you're in good shape, you should be able to build a long-lasting and beautiful rock wall. Does this Spark an idea?
