How To Start Designing Your Branded Corporate Space

Visit any major brand headquarters and you will see an immersive visual theme throughout their corporate spaces. Branding pieces of all shapes and size adorn the walls, floors and ceilings. There is no doubt that as you enter these environments you will experience emotions based on color, texture, furniture and accents pieces, all intended to exude that look and feel of the corporate vision and product offerings. Now it’s your turn to start designing an environment. Where do you start?

 

 

The simple yet most important question is “How do you want your customers, visitors, vendors and employees to feel when they enter your doors?” It can be a daunting task to take a blank or already existing corporate space like a lobby, meeting room or even lunch/break rooms and imagine a corporate branding treatment. But if you start with the basics and establish the foundation of your artistic vision the rest will unfold.
