With our expertise in boarding house refurbishment projects, we understand that to get the best out of the transformation you need to ensure that common areas are not only functional but also inviting and adaptable to the needs of modern lives and schedules of today’s residents.
The concept of school boarding houses has evolved significantly from its Victorian and Edwardian roots. Today, refurbishing these facilities requires a careful consideration of the student experience, aiming to create a home-from-home atmosphere that prioritises comfort, privacy, and community.
From comfortable modular sofas for relaxation and socialising, to study desks for students and versatile seating for focused work, here are some key considerations and tips for selecting contemporary seating solutions for boarding houses:
We work closely with many boarding schools to reflect their specific vision and mission. Our collaborative approach ensures that our designs meets your expectations and serves the needs of your students.
Creating Inviting Lounge Spaces:
Boarding house lounges serve as social hubs where residents and students gather to relax, socialise, and unwind. They’re looking for comfortable sofas and armchairs that they feel at ease in to allow for them to switch off during these sociable hours. This is why we also suggest going for options that are upholstered in durable fabrics able to withstand frequent use and spills.
Our refurbishment projects aim to enhance the students’ boarding experience by creating environments that support their growth and well-being.
Modular cubes offer flexible seating arrangements and can be easily rearranged to accommodate different group sizes and activities. Add a variety of pillows and throws to enhance comfort and style, creating an inviting atmosphere for residents to lounge and connect.
We have a wide selection of common room furniture perfect for boarding houses, helping to transform these spaces into vibrant, functional, and welcoming environments.
Revamping Study Spaces: Functional Desks and Chairs for Boarding House Refurbishment
When planning a boarding home refurbishment it’s important to consider what the students need when studying. With this knowledge it’s possible to create the perfect study environment for them.
Providing dedicated study areas within the boarding house, equipped with functional study desks and ergonomic chairs, is essential for student success. Choose desks with plenty of workspace and integrated storage to keep study materials organised and easily accessible. Adjustable-height desks and chairs can accommodate residents of varying heights and preferences.
Ensuring access to natural light as well as including task lighting, promotes productivity and reduces eye strain during study sessions.
Dining Essentials: Boarding House Refurbishment with Versatile Tables and Chairs
Dining areas in boarding houses play a crucial role in fostering a sense of community. Select canteen tables and benches that are both stylish and practical, with durable materials that can withstand daily use and frequent cleaning. Consider space-saving options such as foldable or stackable chairs to maximise flexibility and accommodate fluctuating dining group sizes. Incorporate a mix of seating styles, including benches, stools, and chairs, to cater to different preferences and occasions.
Embracing Versatility and Durability:
Prioritise versatility and durability in furniture selection. Choose pieces designed to withstand heavy use and frequent cleaning, with commercial-grade finishes that ensure longevity and easy maintenance. Modular and adaptable designs allow for easy reconfiguration to meet evolving resident needs and space requirements. Consider furniture with wheeled or stackable features for effortless cleaning and rearrangement, allowing for seamless maintenance of common areas.
