Fit-Out of an Empty Barn Conversion to create a Specialist Nursing Care Bed Showroom

Our client approached us after they had secured an empty barn in Flackwell Heath near High Wycombe. They wanted to convert the 1,700 square foot space into a showroom for their specialist nursing care beds. 


They had a clear vision for what they wanted to achieve with the space but needed someone who could take these ideas, develop them and then deliver the conversion on site.

Collaborative design.

The client knew exactly what products they wanted to display and therefore, what they needed to fit into the space. With a clear brief, we were able to come up with some initial layouts to show how a series of different products could be displayed in a single area, without having everything on display from the moment you walked in.


We then worked very closely with the client’s marketing and interior styling teams to come up with a colour scheme and selection of finishes that gave a domestic feel to a cold and empty commercial space.

Swift fulfilment.

Getting the showroom open as soon as possible was a key driver for the project. By taking care of the whole package, Glenside were able to coordinate all the relevant trade and supplier lead times to ensure that the project was delivered in just over 6 weeks.


The entire project was delivered on time and to budget, enabling the client to fulfil the client visits and showroom opening that they had arranged prior to the conversion project commencing.

Quality Finish.


Given the level of investment that client’s customers would be making when they come to the showroom, it was imperative that the space reflect the brand’s quality and that customers felt looked after while attending.


The entire scheme was developed in close collaboration with an external interior designer, who has a lot of previous experience in the domestic furnishing market, to ensure that a homely feel was maintained throughout the space. 


There was also the consideration of longevity and the need for hardwearing finishes that would stand up to the footfall of the space and this was taken into close consideration when finishes were suggested.

Specialist scope.

Specialist aspects of the project included design and installation of:


  • Acoustic suspended ceiling baffles
  • Feature wall panelling and finishes
  • Branding and graphics
  • Full audio-visual system
  • Integrated storage and display cabinetry
