Remodeling Ideas Made for the Millennial

Since we spend so much of our lives in the office, if a candidate doesn’t see themselves enjoying your office environment, they will likely go elsewhere. At Titus Contracting, we are the trusted commercial contractor for the Plymouth area and are here to provide you with a few design ideas to attract the generation of workers; millennials.

Millennials will soon outnumber Baby Boomers in the workforce. So, if you haven’t already, it is time to build a workplace that’s more appealing to this younger generation. By accommodating their needs, you can attract the candidates you want, ensuring you get top talent for your business. Here are a few design trends millennials look for in a workplace:

Communal 
Millennials are ambitious and tech-savvy. They have a different working style than previous generations, so it’s important to hire a commercial contractor who can put together a design that understands this. For instance, their ease with mobile technology enables many of them to work anytime, anywhere and they can be more productive sitting in a communal space than sitting at a desk. Your blueprints should include an open floor plan with communal spaces to accommodate the employees that may prefer to work somewhere other than their desk.

Work-Life Balance 
Your commercial contractor should set aside a small space in your renovation plans for a quiet, relaxing area or a place to unwind. A quiet space to de-stress, game room, cafe or gym can help encourage employees to relax and can also encourage creativity. Giving your employees a place to de-stress could also result in fewer sick days, and increase morale.

Flexibility 
With so many talented people entering the workforce it is important to accommodate more people in less space Commercial contractors such as ours should design a strategy that accommodates techniques such as desk sharing.

Beige-Free Zone
Your commercial contractor should also incorporate color into their design. Bright and bold colors on the walls can bring energy to the office and to your employees. If you don’t want to paint an entire room a bright color, consider accent walls. Have just one wall painted blue and the other walls painted a more neutral shade. This is a huge trend in offices right now and can be easily incorporated into your office remodeling plans.

Getting Creative with Color

No matter where you look, color is all around us. And it can affect our mood positively or negatively, not to mention that of your employees and customers. When you are in the midst of a commercial build out project in Bloomington, you might be thinking about paint colors and how they can affect the mood of your employees and customers. Read on for some information about some popular color choices and how they can influence people’s moods.

Yellow

Most people associate yellow with positive and optimistic feelings. But yellow is one of those colors that most people either love or hate. So we recommend that, if you want yellow in your new commercial space, you confine it to the bathroom or kitchen and just stick with that color in one room.

Blue

Blue is a people-pleaser. It is relaxing but it also does not sacrifice productivity. The color blue is a popular choice for many when they have a commercial build out project going on. And blue comes in so many different and varying shades that you are sure to find the perfect one for your new commercial space.

Red

Red is a color that most businesses should avoid. Studies show that the color red can make people feel more aggressive and impulsive. It can also reduce a person’s ability for critical thinking. Try not to use this color in your commercial build out project, but if you do, confine it to one accent wall and that’s it.

Green

Green is a lot like blue in that it is a relaxing and soothing color, mostly because it brings the outdoor environment to mind (think: trees and grass). It can also encourage creative thinking, so use it for the offices of your innovative thinkers, like your marketing or graphic design department.

Orange

Studies have shown that people associate orange with a good value. So if your commercial build out includes retail space, you might want to consider this color as an option. It might not work for an entire room but it will work well for an accent wall or two. That way, your customers will start to associate your business with a good value!
