You probably spend several hours working, whether it’s your own business or a 9 to 5 job. Going to work and seeing your old office building can feel monotonous, giving you less motivation to spend your hours in that space. If you have been feeling that way lately, it might be time to switch things. Various updates can make your office look new again and attract new clients or customers. If you own a business and need to add a fresh look to your office space, here are some simple yet effective ways.

• Apply a new coat of paint 

If the walls of your office building have dull, faded, and peeling paint, it would be time to get a fresh coat. Instantly change your business's image by choosing the right shade and focusing on the impression or mood you want to create. For a modern look, consider neutral tones like creamy white, sky blue, or grey to make your building look modern and noticeable without being distracting. You can opt for a bold colour if your building stands out on your street. You will need to consider your brand colours before going for bold options, as the wrong choice will make your office building look irritating to consumers. 

• Maintain and repair

Old buildings usually have a lot of things that need to be maintained or repaired. You will need to fix all the faulty electricals, furniture, or leakages to have your building look modern again. Inspect your office building first and note all the outdated things that need to be replaced. Call professionals to eliminate mould, clutter, or any plumbing issues.

Replace your old doors with new sliding doors and fix bigger windows for fresh air and more light. If your employees and clients cannot use your faulty lifts for a while, hire professionals who will provide lift services. Employ a cleaning company to pressure wash every building crevice. Keep the parking lot and curbs in mind, and trim all the hedges you might have around the building. 

• Switch up the furniture 

Old and worn-out furniture does not present a good image of your building or business. New pieces will bring a modern feel and improve productivity. Consider the atmosphere you want to create before you change the furniture. For instance, if you want a casual atmosphere, a coffee table and a couple of bean bags at vantage points will do the trick. Invest in file storage devices and vertical shelves to create more room and bring a modern, minimalistic feel to the office. Avoid choosing furniture for its aesthetics; choose functional furniture that will serve you. 

• Update your technology 

Besides improving functionality, new technological devices in your office space can make it look modern. Introduce technologies like electronic whiteboards in your meeting rooms to make taking notes easier. Or invest in treadmill desks to get the creative juices flowing. 

Making your old building look new and updated does not take much. With these few tweaks or ways, you will have the desired change.
