There are simple ways to makeover your workspace that don’t have to break the bank. Check out these three commercial remodeling tips for a brand new outlook in the office.

1. Add or Remove Walls

If your office has looked the same since the pre-internet days, it may be time for a change. Your employees may be suffocating from loneliness if each is cooped up behind thick mahogany doors in their separate offices. When most business matters required client meetings, long telephone conversations, and a lot of face-to-face, a private room was necessary.

Today, many traditional business techniques have turned to virtual methods and people are beginning to lose touch with those around them.Perhaps your office can gain life and energy by taking individual office walls down or replacing them with transparent material to make them more inviting. Commercial remodeling can open your office space and encourage teamwork.

2. Restrooms

Do your employees complain about the state of the restrooms in your St. Petersburg office because no one is taking the initiative to make the necessary upgrades? Remember that your employees spend the majority of their life at work and little conveniences make a big difference to how they will perform.

If sinks do not function properly and plumbing issues are an everyday occurrence, consider doing some commercial remodeling in the restrooms.

3. Break Room

Many business owners are highly nit-picky about the look and feel of their St. Petersburg showroom while entirely neglecting the company break room. Why is it that the clients who may walk in for just a moment get the lavish treatment while the people who help you produce, create, and earn money are neglected?

The break room is an important part of the workday. Having a clean, functional place for employees to relax, eat their meals, and socialize with their co-workers can greatly increase the quality of a workday for your staff. If you want your staff to care for you and your company, show them that you care about them too.

1. Updated Equipment 

When updating equipment, even the smallest changes can make a difference. For example, replacing staplers could make simple jobs just a little more efficient than they once were. It’s frustrating to have faulty or slow equipment. Being at your workplace can already be stressful, so making the space as comfortable and efficient for your employees could make all the difference. So you can update things like,

  • Printers
  • Chairs/furniture 
  • Keyboards or mouses
  • Coffee Machines

Updating your equipment can make your employees more comfortable. They will produce better work that they enjoy doing because you created a space they feel relaxed and content within.
