Create Spaces

How many Create Spaces guys does it take to read one set of plans? 😄

Haha! Ok, but in all seriousness, this is a pretty typical behind-the-scenes moment around here.

Plans out, questions being answered, details being worked through, and everyone making sure we're on the same page before the next step.

There’s a lot that happens between “here’s what we want our space to look like” and installation day.

Great projects take good communication, and getting the details right starts long before installation day.

Sometimes the best part of a project is what you never see in the finished photos.

For the new Nampa Waterworks facility in Nampa, Idaho, our flooring team started with a completely blank slate and handled the commercial flooring throughout the building, including carpet tile, LVT, bathroom tile, marmoleum, rubber base, walk-off matting, and specialty wall tile.

But, as with most projects, not everything went exactly according to plan.

When the specified bathroom tile was backordered for two months, our team found the same tile in a larger size and hand-cut hundreds of pieces to keep the project moving. When we realized we were short on carpet tile mid-install, the remaining material was overnighted so the schedule didn't miss a beat.

Those are the things you don't necessarily notice when you look at the finished space. You just see a great-looking building that's ready to go.

And that's exactly how it should be.

We're pretty proud of how this one came together.

Government workplaces have to do a lot.

They need spaces that support focused work, collaboration, meetings, and welcoming the public, all while making the best use of taxpayer dollars.

We recently had the opportunity to help furnish the Idaho Department of Commerce in Boise, creating a workplace designed to support the people working every day to strengthen Idaho's economy.

That's what we love about projects like this. They're never just about furniture. They're about creating workplaces that work better for the people using them, whether that means supporting focused work, making collaboration easier, or giving organizations the flexibility to adapt as their needs change.

Every workstation, conference room, private office, and collaborative space has a purpose. When those spaces are thoughtfully planned, they help people work more efficiently and better serve the communities that rely on them.

Thank you to the Idaho Department of Commerce for trusting Create Spaces with your new workplace. We're proud to have been part of it.

Pharmacy students in Pocatello now have a place that matches the caliber of their program.

We just wrapped a renovation at Idaho State University's College of Pharmacy, and this one was fun. Think flexible classrooms that flip between lecture and lab mode, student lounges designed to make people want to stay, collaboration rooms with whiteboards built in (not bolted on as an afterthought), and commercial flooring that ties the whole building together.

The goal wasn't just "nice office furniture." ISU wanted spaces where faculty feel valued, students have a reason to stick around, and the environment supports the kind of learning a pharmacy program actually demands.

A lot of people know us for office furniture, but that is not the only way we help.

We also support office moves, furniture reconfigurations, relocations, storage, and the coordination that comes with getting everything from one space to another.

That can mean breaking furniture down, moving it, reinstalling it, adjusting the setup, or helping make sure the whole transition stays on track.

Office moves can get complicated quickly, especially when your team still has work to do in the middle of it all. Having one team that already understands the furniture, the space, and the project can make the process a whole lot easier.

So yes, we install furniture. But when it is time to move, reconfigure, or make a bigger workplace change, we have you covered there too.

Yesterday, some of our team traded office furniture for oranges and apples.

We spent the afternoon volunteering at the Idaho Foodbank, helping package 6,437 pounds of apples and oranges that will be delivered to families in Mountain Home and Gooding.

It was great to get out of the office, spend time together as a team, and do something that directly helps our local community.

Thanks to the Idaho Foodbank for everything they do—and for giving us the opportunity to lend a hand.
