8 Key Elements for 'Resimercial' Spaces

2 min

A resimercial space is designed to blend the comfort and aesthetics of residential interiors with the functionality and practicality required in a commercial office setting. This aims to create a more inviting, comfortable, and human-centric work environment, which can enhance employee satisfaction and productivity. Let's take a look at some key elements that will define what a resimercial space is:



1. Comfortable Furniture: Resimercial spaces often feature furniture that you might find in a living room—think plush sofas, lounge chairs, and ottomans. The goal is to create a space where employees feel relaxed, almost as if they’re in the comfort of their own homes.


2. Textiles and Soft Furnishings: To enhance the cosy, home-like feel, resimercial design incorporates a variety of textiles and soft furnishings such as area rugs, cushions, throws, and curtains. These elements add warmth and texture to the space, making it feel more like a home and less like a sterile office.


3. Warm Lighting: Instead of harsh, industrial lighting, resimercial spaces use softer, warmer lighting to create a more inviting atmosphere. This can include floor lamps, table lamps, and pendant lights that mimic the kind of lighting you’d find in a residential setting.

4. Flexible, Multi-Purpose Spaces: Resimercial design often includes areas that can serve multiple purposes, such as communal spaces that can be used for informal meetings, socializing, or solo work. These spaces are designed to be adaptable, much like the rooms in a home.



5. Collaborative Zones: Resimercial offices typically include collaborative zones with communal tables and open seating arrangements that encourage interaction and teamwork. These spaces are often designed to feel more casual, like a home dining room or kitchen.

6. Biophilic Elements: Incorporating elements of nature, such as indoor plants or natural views, is also a common feature in resimercial design. This not only enhances the aesthetic but also supports employee well-being by creating a more calming environment.



7. Natural Materials: The use of natural materials like wood, stone, and leather is common in resimercial spaces. These materials not only provide a warm, organic feel but also add to the overall aesthetic quality of the environment.

8. Personalised and Homey Decor: The decor in resimercial spaces often includes personal touches like artwork, bookshelves, plants, and decorative items that one might find in a residential setting. These elements help to create a space that feels less corporate and more personal.
