NEW Trend Alert!

2/8/2016

The products that Diversified Fixture offers has been evolving with the latest trends. The most popular trend we've been seeing in the restaurant/retail industry is SELF-SERVICE. If you want to skip the line at your local grocery store, there's a self check out option. If you want to make your own frozen yogurt sundae, most fro-yo shops allow you to serve yourself while employees are only there to weigh your creation. Self-service is not only cost effective for a business, but it allows the customer an experience, rather than just a product.

Diversified Fixture customizes each piece it produces to be visually pleasing and also to fit the machine with which it will work in unison with. Our pre-fabricated walls at frozen yogurt shops allows the customer to easily access the yogurt handles and toppings without seeing the machinery behind it. This actually decreases the likelihood that a customer will misuse the machinery as well.

Also, our custom kiosks can be designed for any type of business or functionality. Now, more than ever, you don't see people checking in for a flight at a desk, but rather at a strategically-placed kiosk that enables customers to quickly get from point A to point B. Kiosks can also allow members to scan their ID card while entering the gym or even place your order at a restaurant without having to wait for a server.

Self-service stations are not only beneficial for the customer, but they increase traffic-flow and save on the cost of labor for a business owner. Self-service seems to be a trend that we're going to be seeing more and more in the upcoming years!

Home Office Remodel

4/15/2015

One of the most widely used rooms in your house is likely your home office. Whether it's paying bills, sorting mail, doing homework, playing computer games, reading books, stealing a nap, a spare guest room, or your 9-to-5 office for you work at home types, the home office has many different roles.

There are a few key things to look for when renovating or planning your home office. At the top of the list is storage. A good mix of shelves, drawers and cabinets will allow you to accommodate all the paper, books and supplies in style.

Next, it's important to have a desk that fits your needs. If your home office is your main office, an oversized desk is recommended. Delegate a separate desk for the rest of the family to use to pay bills or for the kids to do their homework so as to avoid a work/home mix-up.

Up the formality of your office with crown molding, pocket doors, special lighting to highlight some photographs or collectables, and attractive finishes. In doing so, you'll ensure your home office is a place you enjoy spending time, even if it is just to pay the bills.

This beautiful home office includes custom-painted cabinetry with a conversion varnish. It's topped off with gorgeous crown molding and features incredible storage space lit by LED lighting.

Corporate Office in Jersey City High-Rise

2/18/2015

Researchers have uncovered numerous ways the buildings in which we live, work and play impact our actions and behavior. Seeing how the office is home away from home for many people, it's important that the corporate setting is not only functional and fit for purpose, but also appealing, inviting and comfortable. It's wise to invest in the interior design of your office because well designed office spaces are linked to an increase in employee morale and productivity. In addition, the design of your office should reflect the nature of your business, communicating the values and approach your business takes towards those who walk through its door.

We recently had the opportunity to finish multiple projects for a corporate office in a Jersey City high-rise.

From the moment their employees and clients walk in the door, they are greeted by a reception area that is inviting and connected to the services they offer. Here we created a feature wall of rough-sawn pine that contrasts with the high-gloss painted finish of the custom reception desk. In the waiting area, a digital hearth welcomes one to sit and enjoy the incredible view.

In the kitchen and copy room, high pressure laminate cabinets provide ample storage space, while the Corian tops provide beauty and function for years to come.

The conference room boasts a spectacular view of the NYC skyline. This room was outfitted with a high pressure laminate buffet perfect for storage and for holding food or handouts during corporate meetings on its beautiful concrete top (top by others).

I think it's safe to say this corporate office has accomplished the task of providing form and function while still being comfortable and inviting to its employees and clients.

Custom Dining Room Wall Unit

6/10/2014

Are you looking to maximize your storage, but can't find a piece of furniture that looks right in your room? Consider a custom-built wall unit.

This dining room needed more space to store linens and china. There was a great wall niche with a bench underneath the window, but the space on both sides of the bench was empty and underutilized.

We resurfaced the bench and built two side units with display hutches on top and drawer and cabinet storage on the bottom to make it look like one seamless unit. With it's painted glazed finish and mahogany tops, this wall unit is classier than any piece of off-the-floor furniture you'd find in a store and a perfect addition to this dining room.

The next time you're staring at that odd alcove or nook in your home and wondering what to do with it, consider adding a custom wall unit. The fact they can be designed to match any style and store a variety of items from clothing to toys, books, china, linens, electronics and more makes them a wonderful addition to any room in your home.
