If you want to create a commercial space that will stand out to your customers, clients, or employees, you’ll need to focus on the small details. We could be talking about offices, restaurants or retail stores here – the principle applies to them all; and the best way to create a completely custom, eye-catching finish is through bespoke joinery features.
Whether you’re using a commercial fit out in Dubai to design an office space to inspire and motivate employees, or a fashion store where you’d like to showcase your products in the best light, bespoke joinery is the perfect solution. We’ve introduced these elements into several commercial fit outs in Dubai, and we’re going to explain why bespoke solutions are a smart investment for these kinds of projects.
Why opt for bespoke fixtures for a commercial space?
There are a few benefits of opting for bespoke joinery, and several of them are specific to commercial spaces – we’ve summarised them briefly below.
Customised finish to capture brand identity
Your space should tell your brand or business’ story the moment customers walk through the door, and your aim should be to make an impact that feels memorable. With bespoke joinery, every element – from shelving to counters to display units – can be tailored to reflect your brand/business’ personality, values, and aesthetic. The result? A visually appealing, memorable environment that leaves a long-lasting impression.
Makes clever use of space – even in more compact areas
No two commercial units are the same, and in the case of retail spaces, some stores have much less square feet to make use of than others. Bespoke joinery allows you to maximise every corner, creating smart storage, efficient layouts, and multi-functional fixtures that work beautifully in spaces of all shapes and sizes. In offices, the aim should be to have as many multi-use areas as possible, and bespoke joinery can be used to achieve this, creating hot desk areas that double up as collaborative spaces. In restaurants and cafés, seating is often the challenge, but the right, precise bespoke design can mean eateries can accommodate customers without compromising on usable working space.
Creates visual intrigue when combined with lighting
Custom joinery combined with well-designed lighting can elevate the look and feel of your space; and this is exemplified perfectly in high-end, retail boutiques. In our latest Dubai commercial fit out for The Hour Dress, we used LED lighting positioned around and within the bespoke cabinets and a curved divide to create an ambient, calming appeal. We also took a similar approach when creating a concept design for Elite Key Design, as the company explored their options for a commercial fit out in Al Quoz.
By combining considerate lighting choices with bespoke joinery fixtures, our team was able to draw attention to key areas in both examples, creating a calm atmosphere, and encouraging customers to explore. This concept would also work well for commercial showrooms, as it allows businesses to showcase their products with the benefit of ambient lighting.
Supports modern retail trends
Today, visiting any kind of commercial space comes with lots of expectations – customers, employees, and prospective clients are looking for more than just a place to shop, dine, or work; they’re looking for an experience. Brands that understand and apply this concept to their premises are seeing the results, whether its employee retention, or increased sales. With bespoke joinery businesses and brands can create innovative, flexible spaces that can evolve with trends and customer expectations.
Showcasing our bespoke joinery expertise: The Hour Dress
We’re proud to have delivered bespoke joinery for restaurants, cafes and luxury brands in Dubai, and most recently, we created a custom retail store for a popular evening gown and bridal wear retailer The Hour Dress. We worked closely with the client to understand their objectives for the new retail space, and we created a concept design that captured their requirements. This included designing and producing a curved divider for the store, separating the main shop floor from the area where the in-house seamstress carries out dress alterations. We also produced a plan for the new in-store bridal fitting experience, creating several changing rooms and a secluded space where bridal parties can get together and enjoy space away from the buzz of the main store. From concept to completion, we created tailored display units, elegant storage solutions, and striking centrepieces — all designed to enhance the brand’s identity and provide an exceptional shopping experience.
