Everyone loves a good before and after office makeover. It lifts the spirits of all who walk into your business. But in times like these when we continue to face a recession, making office enhancements can be quite a challenge when budgets are tight. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do it. Rather than spending a fortune on furniture upgrades and fancy paintwork, it’s simple to give your office a facelift with some budget friendly options.

Vinyl Wall Murals

After a few years, painted walls can easily get scuffed, marked and dirty. Colors can begin to fade. But a fresh coat of paint throughout your business can be pricey (for example, the national average just to paint one room of a home is $1,805!). An easy fix is applying a vinyl wall mural. You can easily transform the look of a space. As long as all debris is removed from the wall, a vinyl mural can be placed anywhere.

What’s even better is since these are designed digitally, the image possibilities are endless. You can feature your brand by placing a logo or business tagline. You can lay graphic images of your work or local area views and photographs to liven up a bare wall. Or, if you’re just looking to make your space more attractive, we can help you create a digital wallpaper.

Installation also won’t disrupt business operations. When you have a space repainted, furniture needs to be covered, there’s drying time to consider and touch-ups to be made, plus there are paint fumes to contend with. But with wall murals, installation is quick and we are happy to come in after hours if you prefer.

Window Treatments

Another area to consider utilizing in order to bring a fresh look to your business are your glass and window spaces. Whether it’s a glass storefront or office windows and doors inside your company, decorating them is easy and a great way to make a space look like new.

If you’re looking to liven up the inside of your office, etched glass vinyl graphics are a great choice. They’re affordable, plus they can provide privacy if needed, or just add some décor. There is a large selection of textures and colors we can put together to make it pop!

For exterior glass decorations, using vinyl films will ensure the application lasts and stands out to all who pass. We can do simple lettering if you’re just looking to convey a message or special offer, or we can create a full-color window display to really showcase your brand. Plus installation is a snap and they’re reusable!

Additional Makeover Options

If your budget allows, some other options to consider are a new lobby sign, dimensional wall letters, directional signage, exterior business signs (like illuminated building signs, electronic message boards, monument signs, and post and panel signs). We at Epic Signs & Graphics are happy to work with your budget to give your business the update it deserves!

Even though COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc across the country, many businesses have—or soon will—reopen their doors, welcoming back staff and customers. With all the hesitancy and concern about one’s safety as we enter any building, what better way to make it a more pleasant, friendly experience for everyone than with a custom wall mural? It will not only give a drab area a face-lift, but they can literally be installed on just about any wall, they’re super low-maintenance, and there are many budget-friendly options for those with limited resources. Here are some ideas worth considering:

Brand Building

In any office, it’s important for the space to convey your brand’s messaging and story effectively. It will communicate a look of success, positivity and unity to your customers as they enter your space, but to your staff as well. You can do that through a wall mural showcasing your company logo and/or slogan. By highlighting your company’s brand, it can help your staff feel a sense of pride and remind them that they’re part of a team.

Motivational

More than ever, having a positive attitude at work is so important in order to help focus and motivate your staff. So whether it’s on a high-traffic hallway or on a common area wall, you can keep the positive vibes flowing by posting a mural that features a favorite motivational quote, team slogan or saying, or words of encouragement. It will bring smiles to your entire team.

Liven Things Up

A wall mural that features artwork or photography can liven up an area, making it more inviting to your staff. It results in lifting the spirits and (hopefully) increasing productivity. Consider thought-provoking abstract artwork to promote creativity, a beautiful, relaxing scenic photograph to encourage relaxation, or even a collage of a city view incorporated with your company logo to remind your employees of their hometown roots.

Why Not Go With Paint?

Paint is not as cheap as it used to be and then you have to find a professional painter or make it a DIY project. It's more advantageous to go with wall murals or digitally printed wallpaper to invite, engage and make your clients comfortable. So why is paint not the perfect choice? The answer is simple: branding. Paint might cover quite a bit of square footage on your store’s walls, but paint alone does not leave a lasting impression.

A white wall is just that: a white wall. Depending on the painter’s expertise in preparing the surface and applying the paint, once painted, you won’t get the attention wall murals offer. On the other hand, a white wall that serves as backdrop for digitally printed wallpaper is sure to stand out head, shoulders and torso above the competition’s use of wall space.

Sounds Great! What Are the Options?

• Mural. Murals are usually printed full color digitally on a wide format printer on a self-adhesive type vinyl. Rather than using a pre-paste type system, the type we use has an adhesive already applied to the back so we can lierally take it from the printer to your wall. Unless it is lamnated, then we need to apply either a gloss, matte or luster finish before application.  
• Die cut. Incorporate the main part of a photo into the wall display of your store. Take the sunrise photo of a gorgeous Mount Kilimanjaro that would look great against the sunrise painted on your wall. If you have a restaurant that specializes in offering breakfast, lunch or dinner foods, this is a great way of setting the mood.
• Street grips. By the way, your wall mural can also have a partner that takes up residence on the ground. Made of slip-resistant and durable materials, you can have a copy of your wall mural turned into something that passersby see as they walk by your store. Whet their appetites for what they might find inside.

Are There Additional Enhancements?

It is possible to print your wall murals on specialty material that comes with unique texture options. For instance, slightly coarse touch is excellent for the scenery that is heavy on rocks and sand. It has a natural matte finish that has a classy finish. If mountains, beaches or running trails are going to be the topics for your wall decor, then a coarse paper is the perfect choice.

For the photos that depict plenty of waves and water action, go with the paper that has a slight swirl pattern. It ensures that the paper itself gives off the illusion of some movement, which creates an aesthetically pleasing look that is sure to get more than one customer to come closer for a second look. And this, after all, is what you are after. Once customers are done inspecting the wall murals, redirect them to the products on the shelves. This is a great opportunity to turn a window shopper into a store visitor and then a paying customer.
