One of the most common places in many businesses that get overlooked during decorating is the bathroom. This is generally because that during the decorating period, focus tends to be primarily aimed at the office and the reception areas.

This is, of course, because the reception and office areas are where people spend most of their working time, as well as where clients or customers will be entertained or will wait to be greeted.

However, the business bathroom is still an important place and when clients or customers need to use the restroom, a well designed and thought through bathroom can make a very good impression.

So, if you think about the bathroom in your office, does it stand out as a well maintained welcoming room or is it a rather drab place with just the customary paper towels and soap bar. If it falls into the latter category, it could be time to spruce it up, and turn it into a more professional looking restroom.

Below are a few simple ideas on how to turn your run of the mill business bathroom onto something more inviting and appealing for both your workers and your clients.

Wall Colour

Wall colours are important to give a business bathroom a professional yet at the same time welcoming feel. Don’t be afraid to put some colour into the room but be sure to use subtle tones of maybe blue or green. Once you have selected your wall colour you can they choose you bathroom furniture to match.

Taps

Always get very good quality taps. There are many good suppliers like tap warehouse that have great ranges of professional restroom fixtures that would most certainly suit any business restroom. After your new taps are fitted be sure to check that the pressure is correct to stop splash outs from the bowls. 

Basins

Basins are important, so remember to get good quality hand washing basins. If you have the space the double bowls work very well as they give your clients a choice. Metallic basins always look more business like, so try to get steel or chromes units. Make sure that they are also fitted at a good height for the convenience of the user.

Metals

Using metal finishes always gives a business restroom a touch of class. Remember, even though you want your business bathroom to be inviting, it still has to have a professional feel. By using a lot of steel or alloy finishes you can get this look, which has a kind of polished industrial feel.

Soap Dispensers
