Fitting out a Commercial Space - What You Should Know

Fitting Out a Commercial Space – What You Should Know

Choosing your blinds for a commercial space is very different from choosing blinds for your home. What you need to factor in is different, and you’ll likely be catering to the needs of the function of the space, your employees, and the aesthetic more than anything else.Modern office interior

When it comes to fitting out a commercial space with window furnishings, you want to make sure you get it right the first time – as constantly replacing window furnishings is a costly experience. Invest in high quality from the get-go and you will be sure to reap the benefits.

So where do you start when it comes to fitting out a commercial space? Here’s our top questions to consider:


What is the Main Function of the Space?

Blinds will suit according to the main function of the space. For example, If the main function of your space is retail, then you might like to ensure that there is plenty of natural light, but also be able to secure your space with blockout blinds when the shop is closed. If your commercial space involves manufacturing or high amounts of condensation, then you won’t want fabric blinds that could become difficult to clean. Consider what the main function of the space is and find blinds that will be appropriate.
 

What Look are You Trying to Create?

Do you want your blinds to be a feature or blend in with the existing design of the space? Perhaps you’re trying to create a style that’s homely and comfortable, or maybe you want them to reflect your brand – sleek, modern and professional. Carefully chosen blinds will help you in creating the perfect look for your space.


What’s Your Budget?

Fitting out a commercial building with window furnishings is a long-term investment, so consider your budget carefully. Cheap blinds will always look cheap and may even bring down the entire professionalism of your space.  While it’s important to stick to your budget, shop around and find the highest quality blinds and fitters for a decent price.


What Should You Look for in a Professional?

Fitting out a commercial building with blinds is no small feat. Using a professional will allow you to receive the best advice and have your blinds installed correctly. Look for a blind company that will consult with you, measure and custom build your blinds, and install them in your space. Some commercial buildings need blinds in high places, and you will certainly need a team of professionals to measure and fit roller or Venetian blinds in these spaces.

Bhavika n Divesh Kumar
We used Total Look Blinds in 2005 for our family home. After 19 years of wear and tear we needed some parts and couple of vertical blinds track needed fixing. Took a drive to Takanini and was greeted by the office lady Jo who was very helpful and was amazed when she pulled out our 19 years old invoice from their record. The team manage to fix the track within a day and got the parts i needed at a fair price. Highly recommend them if you want quality products and a fantastic after sales service. Great company to deal with 😊
Jayne Steele
Loving my new retro fit motorised blinds, thought would not be worth the $$ in spare room, WRONG do it once do it right , motorised other rooms, should have done it in the first place, no cords ease of use , fabulous
Katie Duffy
Have used this service for my own home and a rental. Quick efficient professional service. Highly Recommend
Kerry Watt
Erin Corkhill
From Terry's measurements, to Brent's installation it couldn't have been a friendlier or smoother process. The shutters are stunning and I get stopped on the street by neighbours who compliment us on them. Total Look Blinds is a decision you won't regret.
Kambiz Radman
Could not be happier with my new sun screens and blinds, look awesome. The material seems nice and hopefully durable (I'll update you on that later).
"Terry" is a positive Rep who speaks clearly. He measured well but didn't explain some installation details, which confused me afterward. However, "Carolyn" came to the site and explained everything very well. Roger is a professional installer who did a quick and clean job. Thanks "Jo" for admin updates and following up. 101% recommended.
Eve O-R
A five star company to deal with, accurate, quick, professional and reasonably priced. Definitely will return. Highly recommended!

Louise Kennedy
Total Look Blinds were absolutely amazing to deal with. From prompt and clear communication through to an excellent and earlier than expected fit, I could not be happier. Thank you for such a stress free, professional experience. Will recommend your company far and wide!

First class service, products and support from Total Look Blinds. We have asked these guys to come three times as we add more blinds to our home. They look so good and work brilliantly. Really pleased!

Great service from start to finish. Terry measured up and gave us lots of different options. Brent was prompt and thorough. I absolutely love the colour choice we made and hubby is super excited about the remote controlled blinds. Very happy customers here.
Peter McLeod
I enquired about a blind repair. Response was quick and friendly and when I took the blind into the factory to get it fixed, it was done immediately, with a smile and finished within 10min. Very impressive and much appreciated
Parvaneh Karimi Fishani
We had double roller blinds installed in our new house. The price was much more reasonable compared to other shops, and their service was reasonably fast. The staff were friendly and helpful!

I can't say much about the quality of the material since the blinds haven't been installed for long, but we hope they will be as good as the service we received!
Alisha Dodds
This is the second time we have used total look blinds and they are amazing! So simple to get a quote, easy ordering process and arrived much sooner than we thought! The installer was super lovely and I will be getting my blinds through this company again!
WYNN RIECHELMANN
Absolutely love our TotalBlinds shutters! They have transformed our bedroom. Service from measure up and quote was excellent and communication with the TotalBlinds team was a pleasure! They took half the time than was quoted by another supplier and although they were a bit cheaper, the shutters are very good quality. Plus they are NZ made! Highly recommend!
Brooke Maber
Really impressed with Total Look Blinds, Terry was great to deal with and very knowledgeable with some great advice when selecting blinds. Great communication from Jo. Since having them installed we have decided on a few tweaks and add ons which they made very easy for us. I recommend you to everyone! Thank you.
Stephen Ball
Very happy with result, beautiful appearance. High quality, efficient and effective at a good price.
