Every wall installation is a blank canvas, teeming with potential. This week, we’re going to give you a few ideas as to what you can do with these spaces, and how each and every wall installation can uniquely enhance your workspace.
The following are the most common mediums used to decorate office walls:
While they might not be cheap, using a large colorful mural that accurately conveys the tone of your business as a wall installation can provide a massive boost in employee morale while setting a fun, creative tone to your workspace.
Decorating your wall with a quality mural can also make an extremely potent first impression on visiting clients, investors, and new employees.
Due to the time and expense involved, murals are most commonly found in high-traffic areas such as lobbies and major hallways.
Custom-printed decals can be a much cheaper alternative to murals. While the piece will still need to be designed and printed, a carefully applied decal can have just as much of an impact as a painted mural installation at a fraction of the cost.
The adhesive on the back of decals are also designed for use on virtually any surface, making it far more viable on surfaces such as glass demountable wall installations.
Generally far more expensive than murals, sculptures add a great deal of dimension to the surface as well as color. Wall sculptures often involve multiple visual elements, such as varying materials, textures, and even built-in water features.
A wall sculpture installation is often used as a sign of luxury and success in particularly high-income industries.
Most often far less expensive than murals or sculptures, hanging artwork can add tone and atmosphere to your office walls, without breaking the bank.
Artwork decorations can also be used as a way to boost your brand by hanging pictures related to your company, boost morale by featuring ’employees of the month’, or showcase your successes by posting pictures of major projects that your company has completed.
Once you’ve figured out the medium, you’re going to need to figure out what you’re going to post:
Often the first thing one thinks of when considering wall decorations for installation, artwork can be an excellent way to create a message, lighten the tone of the workplace, and strengthen your company brand.
When choosing, it’s important to keep these in mind: Any artwork that you purchase or commission must fit with your brand and your workplace. The use of colours and shapes found in your logo can help to reinforce your image, as can themes and content related to your industry.
Repeating geometric patterns are often overlooked when considering wall decorations. While they might not directly convey a message to your visitors or employees, they can be extremely pleasing to the eye, and the correct pattern can often subtly encourage moods, thought processes, or even direct foot traffic through its use of colour and flow.
Installing text as a wall decoration is an excellent way to constantly remind employees of your core values and philosophies in a tasteful, artistic way. Using an appropriate font and colour scheme that reinforces your company brand, the text can provide inspiration, direction, or even a smile or chuckle to your employees.
