Make a Statement!

What does your reception area say about your company?  Have you created a Wow Welcome for your visitors? 


Your reception area is the first visual interaction potential clients have with your company. It should be welcoming and functional.  

A welcoming smile spreads contentment and puts visitors at ease.


Small touches like pictures, flowers or books are an inexpensive way to impress.

Larger budget? Statement seating impresses the most discerning client. 


Visit Ultimate Interiors and view the 2018 Statement Pieces. 
Be Brave, Be Bold and Make a Statement!

Galway News

Galway has received a lot of positive press attention thanks to the likes of Ed Sheeran's production of 'Galway Girl' and even the 'fake news' story about Leo Di Caprio's impending move to Galway, which went viral. Galwegians are sometimes perceived as being biased as we think the world revolves around Galway, but we are very proud of our city and love to 'show it off' to visitors and chat to anyone who is prepared to listen!
Galway City is weathering the storm this week and is still smiling despite the lack of sunshine. There are always activities and places to visit despite the weather.The Arts Festival is busy and people are already gearing up for the races!
Hopefully, we will get a glimmer of sun to brighten up August. The city changes and warms the soul when the sun is shining. It's a pleasure to see visitors to the city relaxing and enjoying themselves and chatting al fresco. Streets are filled with laughter, people are happy and business is thriving. Salthill is buzzing and beaches are busy. Climate really does make an impact on this city. As we say in Galway, if you weren't from Galway, this is where you would spend your holidays!

Designer is now Affordable!





In the world of fashion and haute couture, designer pieces have always commanded higher pricing. We have made do with replica styles, but a lower price tag often meant lower quality materials.
This has been the same in the Interiors world...up to now!




Furniture designers are collaborating with larger organisations and manufacturers, making their pieces more affordable. One of these companies is SCAB design, an Italian manufacturer designing since 1957.



This is an eco-friendly company and all SCAB designs are made with 100% recyclable materials. The current collection offers a wide range of seating, that will make a statement in any room.

So, what's not to love!



Ultimate Interiors are delighted to welcome SCAB design furniture to the Ultimate Showroom collection. There is a wide range of seating suitable for indoor or outdoor use, from 1960's influenced chairs to contemporary and stylish Bar stools.
Visit the Showroom and view this stunning collection.

Ultimate Interiors, not just for the office!

On Trend with Ultimate!

On Trend with Ultimate:

Business to-day is more mobile than ever. No-one is obligated to stay at their desk or office. Technology has given business a new lease of life. Business is conducted over the phone. The functionality options are increasing daily: emails are answered, files are downloaded, companies are re-searched, accounts are managed, bank transfers are made and lunch is ordered!


Mobile options are in demand where office furniture and interiors are concerned also. Mobile office options are cost effective and can also contribute to an employee's well being. 



Satellite offices for visitors or casual staff may be set up 'on the spot'; Mobile office pods in Open plan office space can be used as meeting rooms or spare office space; Mobile storage units allow shared filing options for offices. Flexible furniture options allow you to periodically change the work environment. 




Ergonomically designed mobile furniture contributes to a happier and more productive working environment eg Sit-Stand desking options.




ACTIU mobility suite

Mobile options are ideal for people 'on the go'. Store all your files online and just 'plug in' when back in the office.

The latest addition to the showroom is the 'GlobeTree', which is both functional and stylish and facilitates movement whilst thinking, working or enjoying a coffee break! Visit the Ultimate Showroom and speak to the Interiors team about your mobile office or Email info@ultimate.ie

Ultimate Lesson in Planning!



Ultimate hopes you enjoy this video with simple lessons in effective planning and goal setting.
Lesson #1 encourages you to take the first step and organise a meeting with key members of your team. Value your team's input as no man and no business is an island!

Establish your ultimate goal for your business and also quantify it in monetary terms.
Establish a core team of participants from across your organisation, so that you have a cross section of ideas and goals.
Establish a Date for Discussion.

Invite agenda items prior to the meeting date so you can co-ordinate ideas and arrange a definitive timeline for discussion so you don't waste time deliberating over the same items. Include popular items on the agenda. Distribute the agenda a week prior to the meeting. Appoint a facilitator to take minutes and keep time. And finally, STICK TO THE DATE!

Next Lesson will help you to set up the meeting agenda. 

Ultimate have a variety of products available to help you organise and facilitate that meeting. View these products online now or email info@ultimate.ie with your office organisation requirements.
