Refresh Your Small Business Space with Painting

Since Winter is upon us, why not take on a painting project for your small retail space?

If you are a small business owner with a retail space that needs a bit of refreshing, CertaPro painters are the experts for you! Smaller commercial painting projects can be completed fairly quickly without causing havoc to your regular business routines.

We are experts at providing beautifully colored backgrounds for whatever business you run.

But what are a few smaller projects you could complete to make your business more client and customer-friendly?

These are some small DIY projects that take an afternoon or so and a little elbow grease to accomplish.

These little paint projects can make your space cozier & welcoming. Just because they are small does not mean they won’t have a big impact on your small business space.

Bench & Seating Beautification

Benches and seating give a welcoming feeling. Upcycle an inexpensive bench by purchasing it in the off-season. Get some seating from a garage sale, thrift store, or local site. Work in the garage, with the door open for ventilation. Feel free to get creative with colors and style options. Add a stencil to coordinate with your business and create a pulled-together look.

Create Beautiful Soft Lighting

Another option for a welcoming business exterior is soft lantern lighting. Pick up some thrift or garage sale lanterns. Typically, homeowners discard these items at the first sign of wear. Use a sander or brush to remove the rusty or loose pieces, then add a color to match your business’ front door. Metallic, bright, vivid, or pops of color can welcome you and others to your business. Consider adding solar lights inside too.

Done Up Dressers for Storage

Space for files and important documents always seems like it’s lacking. Whether you need a cabinet for extra products or to display items or just to hide messes away, add some extra storage for your business with an upcycled dresser or cabinet.

Pick a color that goes with the intended decor and add it to the cabinet to make it fit perfectly. Sand the finish off of the wood, and consider adding a primer layer and wipe down the cabinet before you paint.

Bright Display Bookcases

Bookcases can add a touch of whimsy to a stuffy office. Try adding a vibrant peek-a-boo color to show behind the books. Paint only the back piece of the bookcase to allow a bright color to show through over the books.

If you want more statement pieces, paint the whole bookcase. Make sure you sand off any finishes before applying the paint for good adhesion.

Art that Sets a Business’ Mood

Adding artwork to your walls with customized frames can add a dramatic or classy feel to your office. Find inexpensive frames at stores or garage sales. Pick one color to make a gallery with and paint the outside of the frames. Good choices are bright blue or sunny yellow to bring color to a darker room.

These are just a few little things you can do to enhance your business’ feel and ambiance.
