Choosing the proper lighting for a commercial office space can be a bit tricky, but it is a very important aspect to get right. By having the correct lighting for a space that people will be working and spending a lot of time in, you want it to be optimised for comfort and focus. You also want your choice of light fixtures to fit the space.

Tips for Choosing Lighting

1. If you can optimise the amount of natural light that enters the office, do so. For instance, if you are in an office building, on the top floor, skylights can be an excellent source of light and not to mention, cost effective.

2. Pick the right style of light fixtures for the design of the office space. When things stand out and do not look like they belong, it could be a distraction to employees or visitors.

3. Use indirect light that is evenly spaced as opposed to direct overhead lighting, which can cause strain.

4. Also consider low glare task lighting.

All of these tips can help you in choosing the proper lighting for your office space. Remember the more comfortable the lighting, the less chance of strain on employees.

If you have bought a house or living in home that has a lot of bad patch jobs or issues with the walls, one way to help cover up those faults is by adding texture to your walls. The texture will help all those botched jobs blend in and help the walls to have a uniform texture. Here are the steps for applying texture:

1. First fix any damaged areas with a lightweight spackle and allow to dry.

2. Protect the area that will be getting texture, by covering up, like the floor or any nearby items.

3. Prime the walls first with white latex paint or drywall primer.

4. Roll out your premixed texture paint onto the walls for the initial application.

5. Allow first coat to partially dry then roll over the second coat.

6. Use a brush for tight areas and allow to dry.

Adding texture to your walls can be tricky and watching YouTube videos beforehand might also be helpful, but if in doubt, you can always have it professionally done.

When it comes to commercial and industrial environments, painting the walls are much less about aesthetic appeal and more about cost effectiveness and longevity. Typically, these types of coatings are thicker, have better coverage and only require one coat. This is the case with coatings such as Watco industrial wall coating, which is fast drying, easy to apply and can even be sprayed on. This paint also is a high-build, no-drip paint so will go on smooth.

Even though these coatings may only need one coat they offer excellent hiding power and can be used on walls and ceilings. Using standard paint in these types of environments will be much higher maintenance and mean that you have to repaint every couple of years. That is why the tougher industrial wall coatings can be a better choice, even though it may have a higher up-front cost.

Industrial wall coatings such as Watco offer longer protection for commercial or industrial properties, so that you have to repaint less often and therefore save money.

Oak planks are a great way to add character to your home. They’re durable and will last for years if you take care of them properly.

Oak planks are a beautiful, natural material that can be used as flooring or walls in any room of your home. They tend to last for decades and can be found at most hardware stores. Oak planks offer many benefits over other options such as vinyl, carpet, and even tile because they are resistant to mould and mildew which makes them an ideal choice for basements or kitchens with high humidity levels that often lead to these problems. The wide variety of colours available also helps you find the perfect hue to match the mood of your space! Oak planks come in many different widths so it is easy to make sure you get the job done quickly without sacrificing quality. As we’ve touched on, oak planks are a great way to add personality and charm to your home. They come in different sizes, shapes, and colours. You can use them as flooring or wall panelling. The most popular oak boards are rough cut with knots, which gives it the rustic feel that is so desired nowadays.

Rough cut oak boards will last for years if they are taken care of properly! Oak planks have been used since medieval times when people would use these boards for their homes because of how great they were at insulating from the cold weather outside and how affordable they were. Furthermore, when you walk into a room with oak floors and you can feel the warmth radiating off of them. They’re all-natural, so they are eco-friendly to boot. And because these floors are made from solid oak, they will last for generations – or even centuries! Plus, there’s a lifetime warranty on every single board we sell. So if anything goes wrong (which it won’t), just come back and get another one free of charge. All in all, oak is the perfect wood flooring choice for any home looking to make an impression while sticking to their budget.

Solid oak flooring is supreme, and we want to help you find the best option for your home. We’ll teach you about each of the different types and what makes them so special in another blog post in the near future. You’ll be able to make an informed decision on which type is right for you!

When moving into a new house or just trying to spruce up your current home, interior designing a space can become a perplexing and frustrating process unless you go about it the right way. Some tips to help you more easily plan and visualise your ideas are:

A Mood Board

You can create a ‘mood board’ from inspirational images or ideas from magazines, social media or online. Take all of these images, colours, designs or fabrics and put them together on your mood board to see how well they work together and help you determine how to incorporate what you love together in the right way.

Measuring is Key

Be sure to accurately measure your space and any furniture, curtains, blinds, rugs etc that you want to use and make sure things are going to fit where you want them to. This will help save you the time of returning things.

Samples

Once you have decided on colours, fabrics or paint, be sure to get samples and be sure to put them together to double check these choices will work together. Where possible get returnable samples, especially for any blinds or curtains, that you can put with furniture to be sure you are happy.

In conclusion, take your time, plan well and shop around to help your decorating go as smoothly as possible.
