Are you in the business of relaxation and you want to make people feel more relaxed and tranquil from the moment they walk in the door? If so, there are some things you can change around your commercial space to get this affect when your clients are waiting.
You want the sights, sounds, and even the smells in the building to be calming so you can set the mood. Here are a few of the things you want to add or change in your space.
Soft Lighting
Bright, fluorescent and harsh lighting in your commercial space could not only be blinding or too bright when people walk in the door, but it could also cause headaches and eye irritations for the clients. There are a lot of soft and natural lighting options you can choose to help calm the eyes, so your clients aren't over stimulated or irritated when they are waiting. Automatic dimmers for different times throughout the day can also be helpful.
Water
A water feature is a great calming unit to put inside the space. This feature is going to provide visual stimulation, the sound of trickling or running water is very relaxing, and the feature will keep the air moist. Adding an indoor water fountain with some type of pond or pooling area is a great decorative piece that is going to help make the area more tranquil for your clients as they wait or get treatments. Water units in each room can also help carry the water vibe throughout the property.
Sounds and Music
Having relaxing sounds or music that aren't overpowering can help the clients relax their minds. Having a radio station on with commercials or a genre of music that doesn't apply to all interests can be irritating and distracting, but having some type of nature sounds or soft instrumental music can put people at ease. Try different sounds out to see what is the most beneficial and to see what sounds get the most compliments.
If you are trying to get people to relax at your business, whether it's for a spa treatment, mental health session, or whatever the case may be, these are some great ways you can start catering to your clients. You want to make sure that your office is a place where they feel comfortable and at ease, so removing the stimulants and irritating triggers is a must for success.
