Key Elements of ALT’s Commercial Remodeling Services
At ALT Design Studio, we take a comprehensive, strategic approach to commercial remodeling, which closely mirrors our residential design process — with a key focus on business needs. Our design philosophy for commercial spaces is built around company branding and creating an environment that works for both employees and customers. We prioritize comfort and functionality while incorporating distinctive design elements that reflect your brand identity.
Our process includes:

The Benefits of Commercial Remodeling
Investing in your business’s physical space doesn’t just improve aesthetics — it directly impacts employee productivity, customer satisfaction, and overall business success.
Boosting Employee Productivity: A well-designed workspace fosters a positive work environment that can increase employee morale and productivity. People spend a significant portion of their day at work, so it’s crucial to create a space where they feel comfortable and inspired. Thoughtful design that combines function with comfort can make your team excited to come to work every day and feel motivated to contribute their best work.
Attracting and Retaining Clients: Just as a positive work environment is key for employees, it also speaks volumes to customers and clients. When they walk into your business, they want to feel welcomed, valued, and impressed by your attention to detail. A well-designed, branded space shows them that you care about the customer experience and that your business is one they can trust. An inviting, professional, and memorable space will not only attract new clients but will keep them coming back, and encourage them to spread the word about their great experience.
Standing Out from Competitors: In many industries, the space you occupy is just as important as the product or service you provide. A modern, stylish, and functional environment gives you a competitive edge by making your business more attractive to both employees and customers. It helps to set your business apart from others in your field, making a statement about your brand’s values and quality.
ALT Design Studio’s Approach to Commercial Remodeling
At ALT, we know that commercial remodeling is more than just changing a few design elements — it’s about executing a project that keeps your business running smoothly while enhancing the space. Whether you’re updating an existing space or building out a new one, we aim to minimize disruption to your daily operations and create a seamless transformation from start to finish.
Renovating Your Space, One Room at a Time
When it comes to home renovations, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the cost and scale of a full remodel. But at ALT Design Studio, we believe you can achieve a beautiful, personalized space without breaking the bank. Instead of renovating your entire house at once, we focus on transforming your home room by room, allowing you to work within your budget and timeline.
A Budget-Friendly Approach to Remodels with ALT Design Studio
When it comes to home renovations, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the cost and scale of a full remodel. But at ALT Design Studio, we believe you can achieve a beautiful, personalized space without breaking the bank. Instead of renovating your entire house at once, we focus on transforming your home room by room, allowing you to work within your budget and timeline.
By breaking up the project into smaller chunks, homeowners can focus on the rooms they use most, and gradually work their way through the rest of the house. This strategy offers several benefits:
Budget Flexibility: You can start with one room, such as the main living area, and add others when the timing and budget align. No need to commit to renovating the whole house at once.
Tailored Timeline: If you’re not ready to start construction right away, that’s okay! ALT’s process allows you to begin with the initial planning phase — the design, drawings, and preparation — and then revisit the work later when you're ready to begin.
Staggered Costs: Instead of a large lump-sum fee, ALT offers hourly billing, meaning you can manage costs more effectively and at your own pace. This means your initial planning costs are put to good use, giving you a clear overview for future projects.
Commercial and Residential Projects Done Right
One standout example of ALT’s budget-friendly approach comes from a real estate office that wanted to create a welcoming atmosphere for employees and clients. Instead of overhauling the entire space, we started with the lobby, focusing on affordable updates like durable, easy-to-clean furniture, rugs, and pillows. For large, empty walls, we commissioned a muralist to create a bold, temporary piece, adding personality without the high cost of custom art. This approach allowed the office to stay within budget while creating a space that felt inviting and professional.
On the residential side, we helped a couple who had recently relocated from Florida to Iowa. The husband wanted to surprise his wife with a remodel, but they had limited time and budget. We began with the basics: updating floors, walls, lighting, and hardware. After living in the space for a while, we returned to help with a kitchen remodel. This gradual approach allowed them to spread out the costs and enjoy each phase of their home’s transformation without feeling overwhelmed.
Budget-Friendly Design Strategies
Here are some budget-friendly design strategies that can make a big impact:
Lighting: Adjusting the wattage of lightbulbs or swapping out outdated fixtures can instantly shift the atmosphere of any room. Softer, warmer lighting can create a more welcoming and cozy vibe, perfect for setting the right tone.
Simple Hardware Upgrades: Updating cabinet hardware, faucets, or door handles is a quick and affordable way to modernize your space. Even small changes like these can make a room feel fresh and customized, adding a personal touch to your home.
Fresh Paint & Temporary Wallpaper: A new coat of paint or peel-and-stick wallpaper can completely transform a room, bringing in new colors or patterns that fit your style. It’s an easy and reversible update that doesn’t require a major investment.
Unique Decor: Adding one-of-a-kind pieces to your home, like vintage finds from thrift stores or treasures from local marketplaces, can inject personality and charm into your space. These unique decor items can help create a distinctive look without breaking the bank.
The ALT Design Studio Approach: Creativity, Flexibility, and Affordable Solutions
Whether you're renovating a home, updating a commercial space, or enhancing a short-term rental, ALT Design Studio offers creative, flexible solutions that fit your needs and budget. With a focus on incremental updates, thoughtful planning, and making the most of existing features, ALT helps you transform your space without the stress of overwhelming costs or timelines. Start with one room, make a few changes, and let ALT help bring your vision to life, one step at a time.
The Benefits of Unique and Niche Short-Term Rental Design
When it comes to short-term rentals, the competition is fierce. Guests have countless options at their fingertips, and while cleanliness is crucial, it’s not the only thing that leaves a lasting impression. At ALT Design Studio, we believe that a unique or niche design can elevate a rental experience from mundane to memorable.
When it comes to short-term rentals, the competition is fierce. Guests have countless options at their fingertips, and while cleanliness is crucial, it’s not the only thing that leaves a lasting impression. At ALT Design Studio, we believe that a unique or niche design can elevate a rental experience from mundane to memorable.
Creating a Memorable Experience
Have you ever stayed somewhere that felt just... average? Perhaps the decor was generic, and the ambiance bland. Now, think about that one time you visited a place that had a unique flair—maybe it had quirky murals, themed rooms, or striking accent walls. That’s the magic of unique design!
From our experience managing short-term rentals, we’ve noticed that properties with standout designs create a buzz. Guests love to share their experiences with friends and family, leading to valuable word-of-mouth referrals. After all, who doesn’t want to rave about a place that has something truly special? Unique design elements not only elevate the guest experience but also inspire guests to share their positive feedback—many of our ALT-designed rentals consistently receive high praise and appreciation!
Attracting the Right Audience
When you tailor your rental to a specific theme or design aesthetic, you attract guests who are genuinely interested in that experience. For instance, if you create a cozy retreat with rustic decor, you'll draw in nature lovers seeking a weekend getaway. This thoughtful approach not only resonates with guests but also encourages repeat bookings.
One standout example from our portfolio is a charming rental in Windsor Heights, Iowa. After redesigning the space, it quickly became a hot spot for families and friends celebrating special occasions. The previous owners recognized the value of our unique design and even sold the property at a premium because of its rental success!
Boosting Occupancy Rates
A well-designed short-term rental can lead to higher occupancy rates, and here's why: guests are more likely to choose a property that stands out. When we revamped a property in the Drake neighborhood of Des Moines, Iowa, the owner had struggled for years to attract visitors. After collaborating with ALT Design Studio to refresh the decor and layout, the rental quickly regained popularity, receiving numerous bookings and glowing reviews.
Merging Functionality with Aesthetics
The best designs don’t just look good; they also serve a purpose. At ALT, we love to marry form with function. When creating a short-term rental, we ask ourselves essential questions: Who will be staying here? How many guests do we need to accommodate? What kind of amenities will enhance their stay?
For example, our design for a recent rental included fun, multi-functional spaces perfect for gatherings, ensuring guests had both comfort and entertainment options. Murals and wall accents play a significant role in our designs, offering unique talking points without the need for extensive art collections. Just one standout wall can set the tone for an entire room!
