Reception refurbishment Archives - Cre8tive Interiors Limited

Cre8tive Interiors was commissioned by Torin to carry out a reception refurbishment as well as a boardroom upgrade. Torin is a busy manufacturing site in Swindon and the work was needed urgently ahead of some important meetings.

The customer had been let down by another refurbishment company leaving them only a matter of weeks to upgrade the customer journey ahead of the meeting. Torin were very impressed that we visited the next day, took a project brief along with measurements and having a good look around. We then produced a detailed proposal quote with an ideas board to show finishes and how it could look. They were very happy with the response and the proposals and we were on site the next week starting work.

Once we started the work, they wanted us to have a look at the boardroom as well.

Our first step was to measure the space and discuss with the client what they are hoping to achieve. In this case the brief was relatively simple, they just wanted the reception and boardroom to look a little bit cleaner and more modern ready for an important meeting.

The existing space looked very tired overall, with many marks in the carpet. The suspended ceiling had very old looking ceiling tiles, (fissured) which were sagging and stained in places.

We discussed with the client the quickest and most cost effective ways of achieving a clean and modern look which included:

Replacing the ceiling tiles for flat white modern tiles to give a cleaner look to the ceiling.
Replacing the flooring using a modern wood effect vinyl in the reception. This would be much easier to clean than carpet. As the space is also a high traffic area it would last much longer than carpet. The plan was then to provide new carpet into boardroom in a modern grey colour.
A general re-decoration of all walls, doors, skirting and architrave to ensure everything looks clean fresh.
Upgrading the look of the stairwell by re-painting all of the metalwork and installing vinyl onto the treads with anti-slip stair nosing’s to remove the work effect on the staircase.
Installing modern wooden slatwall panelling into the reception and boardroom to give a modern feature wall for their TV and signage.

Timing was most important for the client so once we had the brief we worked out the costs and produced the quote the following day with the aim of being on site the following week.

The finished reception refurbishment and boardroom upgrade looks clean, fresh and modern whilst also being much more practical with easy to clean flooring and much better lighting levels.

The space was completed with time to spare for the clients meetings and allowed them time to add the finishing touches like some new furniture.
