Attracting tenants can be challenging, especially if parts of your property are less appealing to the eye. Are you trying to find a way to attract potential tenants?
If so, you’re going to want to lean in closer because we’ve got some tips regarding lobby design that can help you make it as attractive as possible. These interior design tips will help you take your properties to the next level.
Treat the Walls
We aren’t saying that you need to place chemicals on the walls, but instead, look into various wall treatments that will enhance the appearance of the walls. For example, consider installing a mural of some type that can be used as an icebreaker when people enter the lobby to fill out an application.
The mural can depict what your company culture is about or the area. You might also consider installing various railing forms for those needing accommodations when walking downstairs or across the room.
Railings break up the space on the wall instead of the entire wall being void of anything. Another way to treat the walls is to change the paint color. While it might be easier to install wallpaper, this is something you’ll have to redo every so often because wallpaper can start to bubble or fall apart.
Not to mention wallpaper cost more per square foot than a few cans of paint.
Change the Lighting
Another way to upgrade your apartment complex lobby is to change the lighting. Before installing new lighting, you need to consider factors such as the height of the ceiling and the amount of space in the lobby.
If your lobby is small, you don’t want to use lighting that will take up a lot of space because it can make the room appear even smaller. The same can be said for smaller lighting fixtures because if the room is large smaller lights won’t adequately light the room.
Different types of lights you can use within your commercial lobby include:
- Wall sconces
- Lamps
- Overhead fixtures
- Recessed lighting
It might be useful to have a professional light company come out and assess the lobby and then provide recommendations on the best lighting for the space.
Furniture Matters
When people enter the lobby, the last thing you want is for them to have to sit on outdated furniture. What’s worse is furniture that smells and is falling apart.
Furniture that isn’t in good condition could signal to potential tenants that you don’t take care of the property either. Instead, consider selecting furniture that reflects the wall colors you’ve chosen for the walls.
It’s also best to buy furniture that is in groups to make the most of the space you have. Before buying furniture, think about how you’ll lay it out and how it affects the flow of the room.
