Office Makeover: Transforming an Office with JoySpace Austin
Creating a workspace that is both functional and inviting is essential for productivity and well-being. For one client, however, their office was anything but cozy. Faced with a drab, uninspired space filled with bland furniture and unable to make major changes to the walls or furniture, the client turned to JoySpace Austin for help.
The Challenge
The client's office was plagued by excess bland furniture and restrictions on changing wall colors or modifying existing pieces, making it difficult to achieve the desired cozy and welcoming atmosphere. With a limited budget, the client felt stuck with a space that lacked personality and warmth. They needed creative solutions to overcome these constraints and create an environment that would inspire productivity and comfort.
The Solution: JoySpace Austin's 90-Minute Design Assistance Session
To address these challenges, JoySpace Austin conducted a 90-minute design assistance session to develop a tailored plan that would maximize the client's budget while meeting their design goals. This collaborative session allowed us to explore creative solutions and provide a detailed roadmap for transforming the office.
The Plan
Adding Color and Texture:
Colorful Area Rug: We introduced a colorful area rug to brighten the space and add visual interest, instantly transforming the room's dynamic.
Personalized Art:
Custom Canvases: By customizing printed canvases, we added artwork that reflected the client's taste, making the office feel more personal and engaging.
Cabinet Facelift:
Grass Cloth Contact Paper: Applying grass cloth contact paper to cabinet faces gave them a modern touch, enhancing the overall aesthetic without permanent alterations.
Incorporating Greenery:
Small Plants: Adding small plants in key areas brought life and freshness into the office, contributing to a more lively and inviting atmosphere.
Enhancing Lighting:
Softer Lighting with Lamps: We added softer lighting with lamps to create a warm, welcoming environment that encouraged focus and comfort.
Cultural Accents:
Papel Picado: Bringing in additional color with Papel Picado celebrated cultural heritage and added a unique, vibrant touch.
