Key Elements of Branded Office Design
Signature Colour Schemes. Colour psychology plays a huge role in branding. Read more about the meaning of colours in business branding. These are some of the suggested colours for different types of businesses.
Tech firms – Vibrant blues & greens (trust, innovation).
Financial services – Deep blues & golds (stability, prestige).
Creative agencies – Bold contrasts (energy, originality).
Use your brand’s primary colour for accent walls and secondary hues for furniture or decor. This effectively wraps your staff and customers in the arms of your brand.

Branded reception counters – Laser-cut company name or patterns.
Slogan-engraved chairs – Inspirational quotes or taglines.
South African Example: A Durban eco-brand used recycled wood desks with burnt-in logos for sustainability alignment.
