Your design can incorporate timeless natural elements such as warm wood, classic stone, and elegant class to create a beautiful look.

Exterior Enhancements
-
Use Wood Accents:
Incorporating popular choices such as cedar or reclaimed wood into your metal building’s trim, awnings, and entryways can add a welcoming warmth.
-
Add Brick or Stone Veneers:
You can never go wrong with classic wainscoting or façades made of brick or stone for classic appearance.

Include Glass Storefronts:
Large windows or curtain walls will create an inviting look and maximize natural light inside.
Interior Improvements

Wood Paneling & Beams:

Brick Accent Walls:
There’s a reason that brick accent walls are so desirable – they add texture, a timeless visual interest, and a touch of warmth as well. Perfect for hallways, lobbies, and office spaces.
