Comprehensive Design and Build Services

Joinery Work

Our team began by reimagining the garage’s layout to maximise the available space. We crafted bespoke cabinetry and storage solutions to keep the salon organised and clutter-free. Custom shelving and units were tailored to fit the specific needs of the client, ensuring that all salon tools and products had their own dedicated space.

This meticulous joinery work included installing custom-made, mirrored sliding doors for the cabinetry, which not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also serve to reflect light, making the space feel larger and more open. The client’s specific needs were our top priority, and every element was designed with functionality and elegance in mind.

Electrical and Plumbing

To create a fully functional salon, we installed new electrical systems, including subtle LED spot-lighting that offers both practicality and a soothing ambiance. These energy-efficient lights are strategically placed to provide the right amount of illumination for different areas of the salon, from treatment areas to waiting spaces.

The plumbing work was another critical component of the project. We installed a wash basin and a compact yet comfortable toilet, ensuring the salon met all the necessary amenities. The wash basin features modern fixtures and fittings, adding a touch of sophistication to the workspace. All electrical and plumbing installations were carried out to the highest standards, guaranteeing safety and reliability.

Plastering and Painting

We applied a fresh coat of plaster to smooth out the walls and ceilings, providing a perfect canvas for painting. The choice of paint colors was carefully selected to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Neutral tones were used to enhance the spacious feel, while accent colors provided a touch of personality and vibrancy.

The finished walls added to the spacious and airy feel of the salon, contributing to a professional yet comfortable environment for client treatments. The quality of plastering ensures durability, while the top-notch painting gives the salon a polished and high-end look.

Key Features of the Home Salon

Herring-Bone Floor

A standout feature of this conversion is the beautiful herring-bone floor. This classic design not only adds a touch of elegance but also enhances the sense of space within the salon. The flooring was meticulously installed, ensuring durability and easy maintenance.

The herring-bone pattern provides a visual interest that draws the eye, making the salon feel more sophisticated and stylish. The flooring material chosen is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical, capable of withstanding the daily wear and tear of a busy salon environment.

Bi-Fold Entry Doors

The installation of bi-fold entry doors was a game-changer for this project. These doors open up the space, allowing for plenty of natural light and easy access. They also provide the flexibility to create an open, airy atmosphere or a more private, enclosed space as needed.

The bi-fold doors are designed to seamlessly integrate the interior of the salon with the exterior environment. They provide a beautiful transition from inside to outside, enhancing the overall client experience by making the salon feel connected to its surroundings.

Subtle LED Spot-Lighting

Lighting plays a crucial role in any salon environment. We installed subtle LED spotlights that provide optimal illumination for various treatments. These lights are energy-efficient and have a long lifespan, making them a practical choice for the salon.

The LED spotlights can be adjusted to create different lighting effects, from bright, focused light for detailed tasks to softer, ambient light for a relaxing atmosphere. This versatility ensures that the salon can easily adapt to different treatments and client needs.

Seating and Spacious Layout

Despite the small footprint, we designed the salon to feel spacious and comfortable. Thoughtfully placed seating areas ensure that clients can relax while waiting for their treatments. The clever use of space means that the salon never feels cramped, even during busy periods.

Comfortable and stylish seating options were chosen to enhance the client experience. These seating areas are strategically positioned to maximise space and provide a welcoming environment. The overall layout ensures smooth flow and accessibility, contributing to an efficient and pleasant salon experience.
