Client Brief

Our client wanted an amazing staffroom transformation with versatility and modern funky staffroom furniture solutions.

Project Summary

Our Birmingham client, Bournville Juniors, approached our award winning school interior design team to create a new staff room layout. They required inspiring staff room ideas to encourage teachers to relax on their break.

The junior school had expressed concerns that teaching staff were not utilising the staff room due to it being situated on the 2^nd floor, with furnishings and decorations that were considered ‘grubby’. This resulted in teachers eating and planning lessons within their classroom – which was not very practical.

Our passionate school interior design team created a staff room concept that was funky, modern and also focused on incorporating the green in the brand colour of Bournville School.

We also paid particular attention to the Bournville Carillon Bell Tower in the school which had its mechanical systems on show within the teacher’s staff room. Using this as the focal point we showed Bourneville 2 options of 3D designs showing inspirational teachers staff room ideas.

To achieve this school fit out, new funky flooring was installed with a mixture of Desso Neo and Palantino bordered by Karndean luxury vinyl hard floor. The bespoke designed kitchen in co-ordinating latte and white gloss was installed with integrated appliances and electrics, surrounded by school staff room storage supplied by Rap Interiors.

For decorations we chose white predominantly to enhance both natural light from the existing skylights and the reflected light from the new LED up lighters which completed this school refurbishment.

A delighted client now has an amazing functional staff room space practical for both staff meetings, training areas and also for staff to relax in their break. The project was completed within the 6 weeks summer holidays 2015.

“It was a great school project to work on. The location of the school and the design of the original room gave us a great scope to work with. Bournville were very accommodating with access and facilities, leaving us to concentrate on giving them a great staff room to enjoy over the coming years.”
