Adopting trendy commercial interior design in your spaces doesn’t have to come at the cost of functionality. With thoughtful interventions and the right materials, it’s entirely possible to create environments that are both fashionable and practical.
At Ceilings by Design, we specialise in providing solutions that bridge the gap between form and function. Here’s how you can replicate some of the latest design trends with smarter alternatives.
Popular commercial interior designs that look great and perform just as well
Looking at some of the comparisons, this has got to be one of the hardest games of spot the difference. In saying that, you won’t so much as see the difference as you will hear and feel it..
Fit out design trend 1: exposed ceilings
Exposed ceilings are great for the industrial look, but not so great at controlling noise levels. To keep the interesting, textural look and feel with better acoustics we suggest:
- Autex Quietspace
- Autex Frontier
- Autex Horizon
- Armstrong Soundscape Shapes
- Armstrong Soundscape Baffles
Fit out design trend 2: open plan offices
Most offices don’t have walls or partitioning between desks, and that can make for a difficult working environment. The solution isn’t about completely changing the layout of space to compartmentalise all the work stations, instead, you can screen off areas with acoustic panels:
- Autex Vicinity desk screens
- Autex Cascade hanging screens
- Autex Cove desk screens
Fit out design trend 3: stone walls and finishes
Luxurious, yes. Crazy reflective, also yes. Stone walls are a one-stop train to echo station.
A much better alternative is:
- Autex Cube in a stone finish (note this doesn’t have the same light reflective qualities as real stone)
Fit out design trend 4: timber features
Timber adds warmth and a biophilic aspect to a space, but it doesn’t contribute much to sound management.
Instead, opt for a hyper-realistic timber print on acoustic panels such as:
- Autex Acoustic Timber
Armstrong MetalWorks Wood effects
