Client Office Space Complete with a Piece of History
One of my clients moved into a brand new office building at the end of last year. It is a fantastic space – on the ground floor with lots of light complete with ample parking making it very accessible for an older client base.
Can you guess what type of business he is in?
He wanted a fairly traditional space. A space that reflected the seriousness of his business but one that wasn’t intimidating to clients. We went for a neutral colour on the walls with a warm toned carpet to compliment the dark stained doors. The reception area floor was tiled in a grey slate-looking porcelain and has a massive feature wall anchored by the company signage.
History played an important role in the finishing details. A gallery wall was created using framed images from old postcards and photographs that had been collected by his clients. Imagine pictures of the Main Street of Newmarket from 1891 or a High School in Aurora from 1908. I was so lucky to share a special piece of history as we selected the pictures to be installed around the office.
They have installed a painted white board wall in their kitchen area and use it to write inspirational quotes, things to be thankful for and office announcements. I quite like the sentiment I saw this week:
The grand opening of his office is this Friday and the weather looks just perfect. I will be there with my entire family!

I thoroughly enjoy the balance between professionalism and personality in this business office! Very well done.
great work Sarah – it looks fantastic! Love the inclusion of local historical photos. J
The dark stained doors and trim are beautiful and so is the stone wall! What a nice space to work in!
