Are Aesthetics More Important Than Practicalities in Design?
Overview
Working as a cleaning company tasked with builders cleans for new constructions and refurbishments, we repeatedly encounter designs prioritizing aesthetics over practicality. Often, designers focus solely on appearance without considering durability or ease of maintenance. They complete their designs and then depart, leaving the impracticalities to surface later. Unfortunately, the same oversight frequently repeats.
Common Issues
Consider car showrooms as a prime example. Car dealers need an attractive environment to showcase their vehicles. Essential features include a spacious area for cars, large windows for visibility, freshly painted walls, strategically placed artwork, potted plants, modern sales desks, and vibrant product displays. However, the flooring often receives the most artistic attention, leading to significant challenges.
The Flooring Dilemma
Many designers opt for bright, shiny white or cream ceramic tiles because they brilliantly complement the darker colors of most cars. Once installed and cleaned, the floor initially looks stunning. However, as cars and customers start to fill the space, issues arise. Complaints often target cleaners for smudges, tire marks, and water spots.
The reality is that oil spills, even in small amounts, cause significant problems. Tire marks appear as new tires, coated with a shiny resin, deposit residues on the floor. Normal cleaning solutions fail to entirely remove these, leading to a spread of marks over time. Consequently, tire impressions and footprints remain visible even after cleaning.
Costly Solutions
The effective remedy involves using a scrubber with a degreasing solution, which substantially increases cleaning costs. Most garages are reluctant to bear these expenses, preferring to blame the cleaners instead.
A Simple Fix Overlooked
A straightforward solution exists: utilizing patterned tiles that can hide these imperfections. Routine mopping could handle regular maintenance, with a thorough scrub using a degreaser every few months. Yet, the industry has largely ignored this approach, persisting with plain tiles even today.
Conclusion
The tension between aesthetics and practicality remains prevalent in design. While visual appeal is important, durability and ease of maintenance should not be overlooked. By acknowledging and addressing these issues, designers can create beautiful spaces that are not only visually pleasing but also functional and practical.
