The commercial interior decorating sector has seen continued growth throughout the recent recession, with commissions from international corporations, larger SMEs and institutions such as healthcare providers supplying major demand for services. In Belgium, as in the UK and other countries, there is also key growth and demand in the hospitality sector, notably in hotels and restaurants. There is increasing appreciation within commercial industries as to how well-planned, comfortable offices and public spaces can affect the ambience and potential productivity of an institution, an appreciation that is also recognized within government institutions.
