Commercial spaces are far more than just boxes inside buildings where work activities and sales take place. They are spaces that require careful design consideration to inspire a workforce or visiting customers. Comfort, aesthetics, and sustainability are all watch words when designing commercial spaces in London this year. Here are a few commercial decorating ideas currently trending in London:
Biophilic Design
A bit of a mouthful “biophilic design” refers to the incorporation of natural elements in a commercial setting. For many years it has been a known fact that having plants in any building can promote a feel in of wellbeing. The integration of natural elements into commercial spaces has been a growing trend for quite some time, and it continues to grow to this day. Incorporating plants, natural light, and sustainable materials not only enhances aesthetics, but also contributes to a healthier and more productive work environment.
Flexible and Agile Workspaces
Particularly in London, commercial space comes at a premium. For this reason, many organisations need to make the very most of every inch of available space, turning to flexible design ideas such as adaptable office layouts, and they are likely to continue focusing on flexibility far into the future. Movable furniture, multipurpose rooms, and dynamic layouts can accommodate various work styles and activities in the same space.
Tech Integration
As technology continues to play a crucial role in the workplace, integrating technology seamlessly into the design of any commercial space becomes more important. This may include smart lighting, interactive displays, and other tech-driven features that enhance the overall functionality of the commercial space.

Bold Colours and Patterns
While neutral colour schemes have been popular for a while, there's a growing interest in using bold colours and patterns to create visually striking and unique commercial spaces. This can be seen in accent walls, furniture, and other design elements. For quite some time muted colours and a clean fresh commercial space was considered the most appropriate. But now, many organisations are beginning to understand that bright and bold colour schemes can inspire their workforce and visitors alike.
Sustainable Design
Sustainability is a key concern for many businesses, and this is reflected in commercial decorating trends. Using eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient lighting, and incorporating sustainable practices in design are likely to continue gaining importance in commercial decorating trends in London. Gone are the days when environmentalists were considered hippies or tree huggers. Caring for our environment has become far more mainstream. Organisations taking a more environmentally caring approach in London, will tick a big box for many potential investors, customers, and employees alike.
Branded Environments
Many London based companies are increasingly using their office spaces to reflect their brand identity. This goes way beyond logos on the wall, to create immersive brand experiences through the overall design, incorporating company colours, values, and culture into the workspace.
Wellness Spaces
Initially started by some of the tech companies in Silicon Valley, employee well-being is a significant focus in modern London office design. Creating spaces that promote mental and physical health, such as dedicated relaxation areas, fitness spaces, and comfortable break areas, is likely to continue as a trend.
Decorating London based commercial spaces in 2023 is so much more than just having the magnolia paint on the walls refreshed, and some new desks and chairs installed. More and more London based organisations appreciate that their commercial spaces can be decorated in such a way as to promote wellbeing amongst their employees, and even inspire their customers to spend more.
