Sheffield Mutual invited the Wall Nuts team to transform their reception area into a warm, welcoming space that feels both professional and personal – a place where staff and visitors instantly feel at home.
The Brief
Sheffield Mutual wanted to revitalise their reception area, creating a space that was not only functional but also welcoming and reflective of their brand. They didn’t have a defined brief at the outset, so we began with our Creative Kick-Off session to help shape the direction and establish a shared vision. The result was a clear brief: to design a vibrant, friendly, on-brand environment that felt more like a home than just a space to walk though on arrival.
The Process
Following the initial kick-off sesion, our design team presented a series of loose ideas and visual concepts to demonstrate potential styles and approaches. Once Sheffield Mutual selected a preferred direction, we refined the chosen concept into final designs.
Once all feedback and adjustments had been incorporated, the final designs were approved and prepared for production. We printed murals to run over 2 walls as a continual design to ensure a seamless finish and these were installed at a mutually convenient time with minimal disruption to daily operations.
The Result
The completed murals have transformed Sheffield Mutual’s reception area into a warm, inviting space that embodies their friendly, community-led ethos. Staff and visitors have responded positively to the new environment, noting the welcoming atmosphere and professional finish.
We look forward to seeing how the team continues to enjoy the space in the months ahead, as it becomes a more integral and inspiring part of their workplace experience.
Steph was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Her communication was excellent and she brought lots of creative ideas
to the project! She always delivered designs and amendments when promised and we’re very pleased with how the mural has turned out. It has really brightened up our reception and made it much more welcoming. We are looking forward to our
visiting members and Board seeing it! Thank you Steph!
