If you’re thinking of ways to attract more customers, increase profits and boost revenue, the chances are that your thoughts are likely to turn to a new marketing campaign, or maybe a customer discount. However, innovative ways to increase turnover can start with your space itself. At Orka Interiör, we work with businesses across Yorkshire and Greater Manchester to help them use interior design as a way to attract and retain customers. We know that when a commercial premises is carefully planned and user-friendly, people notice. They feel comfortable, they stay longer and, most importantly, they keep coming back.
Every design decision influences how someone experiences your venue. Whether it’s the way a layout encourages flow, or how lighting sets the tone from the moment someone walks in, thoughtful design can change the way people interact with your space. For commercial clients, such as bars, restaurants, hotels, and clinics, this often translates into increased footfall and stronger customer loyalty. There’s more to high-quality interior design than making a statement and instead it’s about creating an environment that feels right for your audience and reflects your business in the right way.
Using Design to Shape Customer Expectation
We know that customer expectations are shaped from the very first impression. If your space is cluttered, tired or chaotic, it’s easy for people to walk past. Our approach is based upon practical, achievable improvements that ensure spaces feel well-planned and people-friendly. Achieving this might involve rethinking the layout to support better flow, improving the lighting to create atmosphere, or sourcing fittings and furnishings that enhance the function of the room. We tailor every design to suit the business it’s created for, ensuring that changes are impactful and cost-effective.
As part of our process, we take time to understand your customer journey. We look at how people enter, where they’re likely to pause, where they sit, and what might encourage them to stay longer. For hospitality venues, this might mean creating quieter corners for conversation or improving visibility at the bar. In a beauty or health clinic, it could involve calming colour schemes or improving accessibility for clients. As experienced commercial interior designers, we balance function and visual appeal, while staying within your scope and budget.
We also take care of sourcing materials, managing trades, and liaising with suppliers to ensure your project runs smoothly. For busy business owners, this means you can continue focusing on your operations while we handle the transformation.
Whether you’re looking to increase foot traffic, retain clients, or simply reintroduce energy into a tired space, we’d be happy to help. Get in touch to discuss how a stunning interior design can help your business work harder.
