Law offices are the places where real persons, public or legal persons, and lawyers serve to obtain their rights or to protect the rights they have.
For the protection and acquisition of rights, “to file a lawsuit, file a complaint, initiate a follow-up, etc. it is provided with services such as ”; to defend you in a lawsuit filed against you to prevent attacks on rights, to arrange contracts that protect you.
In these serious environments where human rights are defended, concepts such as “strength, justice, robustness, etc. are used in interior designs" should be self-evident in designs and should have an impact on the user. When designs are made with the concept of “seriousness” throughout the office, an impression can be left on the users showing that the space is more professional.
Before starting the design of your law office, you should perform your space analysis.
What is the number of people who will use the office?
What are user profiles?
What is the expansion plan for the future?
What are the services requested to be offered to users?
What is the interest that the office will attract due to its location?
What are the characteristics of other business places close to the office?
Etc.
These questions, which are listed above and more, are also relevant in law firm designs, as in all other offices serving in the business sector.
Design Tips
First Introduction
You should show the success of your law office on the client first at the entrance. Considering that this will be the first visual interaction of the customer with the office, giving an effective message from the entrance will also affect the customer's behavior inside the office.
In Your Furniture Choices, You Should Choose More “Heavy-Serious” Furniture.
What does heavy-serious mean?
Due to the seriousness of the work in law firms, you should choose preferably cream-coffee-black-and-white color shades for furniture aesthetic instead of vivid, bright and eye-catching colours. In furniture choices, the ergonomic effect on the user should come before the aesthetically beautiful appearance. The first message you want to give in your furniture choices should be “seriousness-power-weight”, not aesthetics.
Your furniture choices can be a channel that reflects your success in the work you do. For this reason, choosing luxurious and simple furniture that reflects you and your business will leave more positive results on the user.
Add Touches That Reflect You
As you can follow the stereotyped options in the designs, you can bring in small differences that reflect you and carry your signature. From the user's point of view, it can be a positive reaction to see a familiar atmosphere when entering a law office, yes. But at the same time, you may need a difference that distinguishes you from your competitors.
You can show this difference in your furniture-accessory choices, in your specialized spaces, in your design preferences in your office rooms.
Do Not Force Designs
To address the previous title, you should also not make too extreme choices to reflect your own signature. The big decisions that you can make to make yourself known can create an air of compulsion and complacency on the user. You should remember that your customers come to fix their problems and get help from you. In this direction, you need to create a warm and reliable feeling on the customer. In order to ensure the customer's trust, one of the most effective design choices in the space is to make “natural” choices.
How is it natural?
The use of “wood” and “brown” tones in texture combinations, soft textured furniture in which simple colors are used in the seating relaxation areas, etc. will create a natural perception of space on the user, which indicates the most simple but effective processing of functions.
Don't Forget about Privacy!
You should not forget that clients who come to law offices will share a part of their private life with you. You need to instill a sense of trust in every incoming customer and show the customer that the information they will share will be deciphered only between them and you in a professional manner. In this context, areas that respect the customer's privacy should be designed in interior designs. For example these designs can be solved with visual or sound-insulated areas in places.
Support Your Business with Accessories
The selection of the right quantity and quality of the accessories that will work together with the furniture in the interior can create a perception of a “sophisticated-successful environment” on the customer. For example, bookcases that you can use in sitting areas or private offices can be an effective and aesthetic solution at the same time, where books and documents that you will use in your law office can be collected. The issue that you should pay attention to when choosing accessories is quantity and harmony. Accessories selected in the wrong quality and quantity prevent the formation of concepts such as “trust-comfort” in the space by tiring the user's eyes instead of strengthening the space design.
When choosing accessories,if you want to create a classic style, you can choose accessories with a reflective surface in gray-white colors. If you want to create a modern style, you can choose white-black-brown tones.
Pay Attention To The Walls
In law firm designs, general attention goes primarily to furniture, then to other surfaces. On the floor-wall-ceiling surfaces, it can be ensured that the main focus is given to the furniture by using plain, non-patterned, solid colors-coatings more in terms of design. But this is not the only design method that can be followed. Designs that you can choose from place to place on these surfaces (the right amount, pattern and color) can support the aesthetic appearance of the space and the desired effects on the customer. It's like a texture change on the floor in the area where negotiations are held with the customer. Or a lighting on the ceiling that creates a focus on that area, or a different texture preference on the walls…
If you want effective results and a quick completion of work in law firm design, it will help you to get professional help.
