Before & After: contemporary shop design

Last year I was delighted when Fiona Gardner, owner of fresh move letting agency, asked me to design the business's new commercial premises. She had purchased a freehold property in Chelston, Torquay, which at the time was trading as a beauty salon. The brief was very open as she wanted to see what I could come up with, without imposing any restrictions, so I had a clean slate to work with. All I knew was that she wanted to create a contemporary look that stood out from the lettings crowd.

The company logo was my colour inspiration - a deep sky blue + white.

For me the name 'fresh move' itself conjures up ideas of being bright and light, having a contemporary look and being about clean lines - all of which were words that I used when developing the look of the shop.

Here are some before shots of the premises;

The whole downstairs was partitioned into treatment rooms

Once the first walls came down light started pouring in

I recommended knocking this wall down too to create an open plan office

This simple style board was the basis of the direction the design was to go in;

Together with of RSBC Builders who carried out the building works and with the help of urban office interiors, we devised the optimum layout for the office furniture and fittings and here are the after shots;

Fiona was delighted with the final result and says that clients and customers that visit the shop often comment on how refreshing and different the look of it is. I should also point out that this project had a limited budget, so it just goes to show that you really can create great spaces at affordable prices. That's what Home Restyler is all about *smile*
