Have you ever heard of Resimercial Design?

Resimercial Design. A captivating name that arose from the combination of the terms “residential” and “commercial” and which refers to the introduction of elements generally associated with domestic environments into corporate, commercial, clinical or hospital environments. This is a relatively recent trend and is subject to an increasing influx of popularity.

Resimercial Design: what is it?

Commonly used to refer to the arrival of comfort in the work environment, Resimercial Design is a term that puts collaboration and convenience at the center of anyremodeling project. As younger generations continue to enter the workforce, the need to create warm, inviting spaces is palpable. To maintain high motivation levels and satisfy visitors' requirements, more and more typically “residential” items and furniture are incorporated into spaces developed for the provision of services.

Therefore, with the aim of attracting and retaining new talent and clients, designers and architects seek to create welcoming living rooms, offices or consulting rooms, with the introduction of traditionally homely elements. The truth is that comfortable employees are happy employees and, therefore, more productive and creative. In this way, Resimercial Design invariably results in high retention rates.

Resimercial Design in the design of clinical environments

By introducing a cozy aesthetic into the design of clinical or hospital environments, users' levels of anxiety and restlessness are significantly reduced. However, to obtain the positive effects of Resimercial Design it is essential to find a balance between comfort and functionality of the space. On the other hand, it is common knowledge that visits to the doctor are often a cause of discomfort and anxiety. This is the reason why many Interior Design professionals choose to introduce a homely aesthetic when designing clinical or hospital environments.

Thus, among the main benefits of Resimercial Design are the well-being of employees, encouraging productivity, establishing an engaging and dynamic organizational culture, promoting teamwork and encouraging patient comfort. Factors that contribute, to a large extent, to increasing the quality of the service provided. We are talking about collaborative environments where employees are encouraged to work productively through the comfort provided by sofas, armchairs or decorative pieces that contribute to reducing their stress levels.
