Independent refurbishes during lockdown

Blackpool-based opticians Woodhouse has reopened after a quick DIY job during lockdown escalated into a full refurbishment of the optical practice.

Practice owners Sukie and Stephen Woodhouse said that they were taking measures to ensure the practice was safe for patients during the pandemic when they decided to furbish.

‘Once we’d created more space to allow better social distancing, designed some new hand sanitisers and ordered new wipe-down furniture, well, that’s when the fun really started,’ Sukie shared on the opticians’ website.

Sukie decided to sketch how they wanted the interior of the practice to look, including a statement, home-crafted light fitting made from old lenses.
