Industrial and Urban
Industrial interior design style draws inspiration from New York City’s old buildings, factories, and urban lofts. Picture brick, concrete, and metal. Think exposed pipes and open spaces with moody lighting. Industrial commercial interior design says to visitors, “We’re cool, we’re fresh, and we’re authentic.” This style, as with most of the best styles, is a mix of contradictions: practicality and creativity, rugged and old melded with sleek and modern. It’s simple but stunning.
How to get the look: Industrial interior design works best in a space that lends itself to it. If you can, find a raw space with brick, cement, and exposed beams. If you can’t, no biggie. We’ve seen clients blend industrial interior design with a variety of interiors for an interesting, fun look. Settle on metal accents and a neutral color palette (black, white, and gray).

Luxury
We love this look for high-end clients with high-end visitors. Luxury interiors demand respect and attention from the second your visitors set foot in your office, signaling exclusivity, sophistication, and professionalism. Rich colors, thick fabrics, and moody lighting create an atmosphere of decadence and set the tone for the client experience.
How to get the look: Create your own modern-day mini palace with marble, leather, wood, brass, and velvet. Focus on high-end materials and elegant finishings to get this look. Try a refined color palette with rich, muted colors like slate blue, emerald green, burgundy, and royal purple. Lighten things up with chandeliers and other statement lighting pieces.

Minimalist
The design equivalent of “less is more.” If you want your visitors to feel calm, cool, and collected, go with a minimalist style. It’s sleek, it’s monochrome, and it’s simple. Plus, it makes furniture shopping easy. And it’s anything but boring. Creative minimalist design mixes and matches textures to create a space that is both soothing and stylish.
How to get the look: Pick a monochrome palette in a neutral color. We usually go with white, beige, or cream colors because they bring a light, airy feel to a room. Mix textures, fabric, and tones for a creative look that gives depth and interest to your space. It’s all about clean lines, subtle texture, and muted woods.

Corporate
If minimalism and luxury design had a baby, it would be corporate design style. Borrowing from minimalism's clean lines and reduced distractions and elevating the look with high-end textures and finishes, corporate style is centered on practicality. In this design style, we’ll work with you to identify exactly what you need and nix anything without a defined purpose. This decisiveness frees up funds, so you can spring for the larger-than-life boardroom tables and exquisite mahogany desks for a style that screams sophistication, professionalism, and focus.
How to get the look: Simplicity and practicality are key here. Pick a neutral color palette of three or four colors and grab minimalist furniture that is functional and straightforward. Think about the spaces that define your office culture; splurge in these areas and cut back on others. Opt for no-fuss workstations and ergonomic seating to practically support employees in their roles.

Eclectic
Perfect for companies that do things their own way. Nothing screams, “We’re unique, energetic, and daring” like an eclectic interior. This design style throws caution to the wind with bright colors, bold patterns, and unique touches that ooze personality. Want a zebra-print rug? Go for it. Want to frame your favorite Cards of Humanity card on the wall just because? Sure thing. The rules are dead; anything goes here. It’s a bold move, but we often find visitors love these spaces because they tell a clear story right away, leaving visitors with a memorable experience no matter what.
How to get the look: Think about what you and your team love. Lean into unique elements, patterns, and colors that represent you to the max. Mix and match – the more variety in color and texture, the better! Lean into modern art, travel souvenirs, quirky posters, and bold lamps to bring more personality into the space. And, don’t be afraid to blend in other styles from this list for a look that is completely unique to your team.
