Back to the Office Blinds
Some have questioned whether physical offices still have a place in a post-lockdown future but we don’t see them going anywhere. Collaborative work is as vital as ever and we’ve all missed and treasured the glimmers of in-person interaction that we have been able to enjoy. A sense of community and ‘all being in it together’ has pulled us through. What better way to promote teamwork and productivity than through an exciting communal space designed to reflect corporate values while inspiring creativity, innovation and unity? Cultivate your brand from the inside out with a fitting interior design, complete with functional blinds.
What features?
Flexible shading
A crucial feature of office blinds is flexible shading options so that you can comfortably work from natural light without the sun’s glare reflecting onto your screen. This necessitates frequent adjustments throughout the day, making Venetian blinds your best friend. Lift and lower to your desired height before tilting the slats to capably filter the light without needing to eliminate it completely. Vertical blinds deliver a similar shading solution and are tailored toward large windows whereas Venetians are preferred for smaller areas.
Longevity
We understand that keeping outgoings to a minimum is paramount for businesses, which is why we only stock the highest quality of blinds complete with 3-year guarantees. Vertical blinds offer even greater protection since you can replace any individual slats that become stained, broken or worn without having to buy a whole new system (check out our Spare Parts section here, hyperlink).
Space-saving
If you have multiple windows and office partitions, a key consideration will be blinds that don’t intrude too much on workspace. Venetian and Vertical blinds boast a streamlined construction that hugs tight to the glass without sacrificing the adjustable slat shading. The cassettes are very slim and available in different widths to suit you.
Fire retardancy
It is necessary for your business to have blinds with fire retardant properties, so we have included commercially suitable options in almost all of our styles.
What colours and styles?
Studies into colour psychology insist that you shouldn’t underestimate the importance of choosing the right shades and style for your brand. Colours create instant associations so it is worth considering what qualities you want your business to reflect for your workers and any office visitors. Use bright and zesty hues of orange, yellow and green for energizing optimism while pure white shades can be a great clean canvas for projecting creativity onto. Not to mention, white and cream shades are firm favourites thanks to their space enhancing effects, although darker blinds can be better for concealing dirt. Gloss or satin finishes radiate modernity while being easy to clean, while you may want to avoid soft textured styles as they tend to promote relaxation rather than focus and can collect dust.
Consider the priorities of your specific company and the values you wish to present. Windows are often focal points and their coverings are very visible, making them an excellent opportunity for showcasing brand personality.
