How Can I Upgrade My Commercial Property?

Creating a more physically appealing site for your business can do wonders for your reputation and the satisfaction of your visitors or customers. Building a level of trust and encouraging people to return to you is an important part of operating a business, but sometimes, this cannot be done through action alone. Having a property that is aesthetically pleasing or provides a service to people, such as a place to sit or store their bike, cannot be understated.

In this guide, we’ll offer our suggestions on how to improve the look of your commercial property, from offices to museums to schools.

Improving the aesthetics of your business

Below are just a few ideas of how you can offer people a more pleasing experience when they step onto your outdoor property.

Picturesque outdoor seating

If you have the space, we would highly recommend considering some outdoor seating. Benches not only offer people a place to sit, but they also look good when the style chosen suits your property’s aesthetic. Visitors will really appreciate a comfortable place to rest, whether they’re waiting to head inside or just taking a breather. Take a look at our range of outdoor benches to see if any would work for your property. 

St George’s Theatre in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, is a fantastic client of ours, and they requested outdoor furniture alongside perimeter bollards to improve the look of their property. These benches provided the public with much-needed seating as they went about their day while enjoying the majesty of the beautiful theatre building. This simple addition improved their aesthetics and helped improve their already positive reputation.

Litter bins keep things clean

No one likes wading through crisp packets and cola cans. Rubbish makes your business’s property look dirty and unkept, giving off the impression that you don’t take care of your site. This isn’t the message you want to send to potential customers and visitors. 

With litter bins placed appropriately around your property, you can deter people from littering and encourage a healthier, greener environment in one fell swoop. We have a range of outdoor bins, each in different styles to suit the decor of your space.

Invest in landscaping

It’s said that the presence of greenery can help improve people’s wellbeing. Plants such as trees, shrubbery and flowerbeds contribute to fresher air while adding an undeniable improvement to the look and feel of any property. If you have the space, consider having something green planted there to create an inviting area for visitors, or invest in a professional to take care of and improve any greenery you already have.

Practical bike shelters and stands

Whether you have visitors who rely on bicycles to get to you or you want to provide the public with a place to store their bikes, shelters and racks are the solution. From schools to stores, bike storage is a useful bit of equipment to have on-site for several reasons:

• They keep things tidy – no bikes chained to benches or lampposts or left on the ground.
• They look stylish – bike racks and shelters are designed to enhance the environment.
• They offer security – bikes aren’t cheap, so a secure place to lock them up is appreciated.
• They promote eco-friendly transportation – if people know there’s a place to store a bike, they may be more inclined to turn to this healthier, greener way of getting around.

Consider a building refresh

Sometimes, a fresh lick of paint can work miracles. If you’re limited on space and benches, bike stands, and bins won’t fit into your property, then perhaps just a new look is all you need. Give your building a new colour or spruce up the window frames and doors to make it more appealing. People gravitate towards a place that looks well taken care of, so consider investing in a small renovation or decorating project to provide your property with some TLC.

Incorporating perimeter protection into Street Furniture

Benches, planters, litter bins and cycle stands are all items which can improve the aesthetic of outdoor spaces and how the public interacts with them, but did you know that crash-rated bollards can be seamlessly integrated into these features? This ensures that public spaces are protected against hostile vehicle attacks without having to install a plethora of bollards which can be intimidating and detract from the natural beauty of our outdoor spaces. 

You can be walking through a market area and have no idea that built inside a bench or a planter is a crash-rated security bollard which can withstand a 7500kg truck travelling at 50kph. Rhino Security can supply and install a range of these types of products, which we believe are the future of public landscape design.
