i.d. space - interior design consultancy
interior design is good for business
 
Interior design now plays an integral part in projecting corporate image throughout all sectors of the economy.
 
Successful retailers have long understood the power of design to communicate a brand and an increasing number of companies recognise that their business identity needs to be reinforced, not only through their brand and product marketing but also through the environments in which they operate.
 
Interior design is used to optimise profit, private healthcare practices and hospitals invest in interior design to enhance the patient experience and instil confidence in treatment and care. Patients recover more quickly and the healthcare company is able to handle a greater number of clients.
 
Interior design brings huge returns on investment by increasing the perceived quality and value of a product or service thus supporting premium pricing and greater profits.
 
"but we don't have any clients here!"
 
The people working for an organisation are as crucial to its success as its customers. It is now recognised that money is not the primary motivator for most employees - interior design brings returns on investment by increasing efficiency and motivation. One of the main routes to optimum profits is via a workforce that is achieving higher targets and achieving them faster!
It should not be forgotten that employees are Brand Ambassadors and Communicators and their environment is a key influence in how they promote their organisation.
There are further benefits to be had from providing a well-designed, pleasant environment - it will both boost staff retention and be highly attractive to new recruits.
 
education
 
These principles relate to the field of education which is now officially recognised with the government's Building Schools for the Future Initiative. Pilot schemes have demonstrated that well-designed schools increase the rate of learning and give pupils a sense of pride and ownership which has the effect of reducing careless damage. Teacher staff are supported in effectively carrying out their jobs with less time spent combating disruption.
 
"a dynamic design and specification service"
 
i.d.space design consultants have been providing a design and specification service for both commercial and domestic clients for 15 years. Based in Bristol, we work on new construction and renovation projects all over the country.
 
Producing aesthetic and ergonomically effective designs that please every end-user is always a tough challenge. The secret to our success is really understanding the needs of the people who will benefit from the designs and then combining creativity with practicality for results that will continue to be appreciated and enjoyed.
 
We specialise in being objective; our designers’ breadth of experience is gained from a diverse range of projects. We create a wide variety of interiors from modern or contemporary to traditional or period and every scheme is totally individually created to meet the needs of that particular client.
 
We recognise that every organisation (including households!) needs to communicate overtly and subliminally, its values, identity and status. We support and develop these key statements through effective interior design.
 
We also believe the interior should be in harmony with the building and we always look at the “big picture” of the location and style of the building in order to develop our design ideas. If we have the opportunity to be involved in the early stages of a new-build or renovation project we work closely with the architects and construction team to develop the design and layout. This means that the transition from exterior design to interior layout and fixtures and then furnishings is seamless for both those working on the project and then for those using and enjoying the building.
