Bespoke Elevator Interior Design

Designing a Lift Interior That Wows Passengers

Are you in control of the message your lift interior sends? While your vertical transport is absolutely necessary for getting from A to B, it’s also a vital part of your building’s story. Your lift is a space that can welcome visitors, serve residents, or reflect your company’s brand. Our designers know from over a decade of experience that a lift is never ‘just a lift’. By focusing on the passenger journey, we help you create a bespoke elevator interior design that sets the tone for the entire building.

So, how can you ensure your lift interior is offering more than just vertical transport? Drawing on our work with property managers and developers across the UK, Tower Lifts has created a lift interior design overview that introduces you to customisation options, current design trends, and ways to balance a lift interior that looks stunning with durability and straightforward maintenance.

More Than a Box – Shaping the Passenger Experience

A lift journey is a unique, encapsulated moment. For those few seconds, your visitor, resident, or employee is completely immersed in a small, totally controlled environment. The question is, what does that environment say about you?

A poorly lit, scuffed interior suggests neglect and is off-putting. By contrast, the well-designed lift uses that ‘captive’ time to its advantage. Soft, indirect lighting provides a calming environment, rich textures on the walls speak of luxurious attention to detail, and a smooth, quiet ride instils confidence.

Factors to Consider in Elevator Interior Design

At Tower Lifts, our goal is always to refocus the passenger’s attention away from the mechanics of travel and onto a feeling of safety, quality, and care, ensuring they step out with a positive impression of your building already in place.

Designing Your Lift Interior – A Collaborative Design Process

Achieving the lift interior that’s right for your building starts with your vision. We sit down with you to understand your brand, the building’s architecture, and the experience you want for your passengers. Together, we then explore the key elements that will bring that vision to life.

The Components We Can Design For You

In elevator interior design every surface and feature is an opportunity. We’ll take you through a range of choices for walls, ceilings, and doors, which form the core of the design. We’ll consider durable and stylish flooring materials and elegant handrails that provide both safety and a pleasing tactile quality. Finally, create the mood with lighting and select a control panel that feels intuitive and complements the overall aesthetic.

Inspired by Modern Design Directions

To inspire the design, we introduce current trends for our clients to consider:

  1. Minimalism and Sleek Finishes – If you like the idea of a clean, sleek loft interior, we can use brushed metals and glass to create an uncluttered, modern feel. Scenic glass lifts are a popular way to make a view a central feature.
  2. Biophilic Design – For a calming, natural environment, we can incorporate textures, patterns, and lighting that connect passengers with natural elements, with the aim of refreshing their energy and calming their mood.
  3. Smart Technology – We can integrate smart features that streamline the passenger journey, such as automatically assigning them the most efficient lift for their destination.
  4. Inclusive Design – This is central to all our designs, we ensure the lift interior is accessible for all, incorporating features like spacious cabins and easy-to-use controls. 
  5. Bespoke Branding & Artwork – To make the lift a true extension of your building’s character, we can incorporate unique, personal touches. This could include displaying custom artwork, integrating digital screens for welcome messages or videos, or embedding your branding directly into the wall panels for a seamless and impressive finish.
