Designing a calming environment

About Me

Designing a calming environment

I run a counselling service, so a lot of our customers come in feeling stressed and out of sorts. We have found that having the interior designer come through and update the furnishing has made a lot of difference to the customers and staff of our centre. I think interior design often overlooked, so I thought it might be useful to start a blog to show how the different elements have added up to create a really calming and nurturing environment. It should be useful for anyone who wants to have a more calming atmosphere in their office, school or home.

 

Why Now Is The Perfect Time To Get Some Commercial Sunshades For Your Restaurant

Australians are known for their love of all things food-related, which is why every city and town has lots of different types of cuisines from all corners of the world. The only thing that can make an Australian think twice about choosing a particular restaurant is if the actual design of the place looks off-putting. That means that an appealing commercial facade can be just as important as the food. That is why commercial sunshades are so important for every street-facing restaurant, and here are three reasons why now is the perfect time to get them installed.

Business Is About To Pick Back Up

In most states of Australia the COVID-19 pandemic has been fully brought under control and, although some restrictions remain, even those are starting to ease. That is great news for restaurants, as summer is a very busy time for outdoor wining and dining. It does mean that you need to be prepared to take advantage of the influx of new foot traffic outside and around your restaurant, and one way to attract customers is with interesting sunshades that promise a cool and comfortable place to eat delicious food. Don't let this surge pass you by without being 100% ready for it.

Summer Is Nigh

As previously mentioned, summertime is just around the corner and that means one thing for restaurants: hot customers looking for a relaxing place to eat. Commercial sunshades can offer you a lot more floor space to seat customers in the summertime, as most people would prefer not to sit in direct sunlight. Sunshades also come in many different styles, which means there is something for everyone and if you can't find what you want, you can always get it custom made. Don't wait until the summer rush has started; get ready now while many contractors still have free schedules. 

Disturb Fewer Customers

While restrictions are easing, there are still some in place in states like New South Wales, Queensland and especially Victoria. That means that you cannot legally fit as many people into your restaurant as you may like, which can come as a blessing in disguise for renovations. If you put up your commercial sunshades right now, you will be impacting far fewer customers than you might have this time last year. No one wants to eat at a restaurant where construction work is ongoing, and since most people can't eat at your venue anyway, right now is the perfect time to get these sunshades installed!
