Your office is more than just a place where work happens—it’s a reflection of your brand’s identity. Every aspect of your workspace, from the decor to the atmosphere, plays a crucial role in shaping how your brand is perceived. In this article, we’ll explore the importance of aligning your office space with your brand’s personality and voice, and we’ll share an inspiring success story of how a simple office reimagining led to a significant transformation for one of our clients.

Assess your office decor


Before diving into our client’s story, let’s start with some essential questions to assess your office decor:

  • Does it look like you just moved in, or is it thoughtfully curated for your target clientele?
  • Does the tone of your office support and reinforce your brand personality and voice?
  • Is your office connected with your demographic or industry, both in aesthetics and functionality?
  • Does it exhibit your competence in your field and showcase your brand’s values? If so, how?

If you feel that your office decor isn’t fully aligned with your brand, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered.

The power of brand experience


At Sands Costner, we firmly believe that every interaction with your brand matters. Your office space is a vital touchpoint where customers experience your brand firsthand. The feelings and emotions evoked by your office decor directly contribute to your customers’ overall satisfaction with your brand.

Now, let’s delve into our client’s success story to demonstrate the true power of brand experience through office transformation.

A client's journey: from ordinary to extraordinary


Our client, a warm and caring professional company, had just completed the exciting process of rebranding with our team. Through extensive research and personal interviews with the company, we gained valuable insights into their brand’s core values, which were centered around care and professional communication. With their new identity fully embracing these values, we recognized a unique opportunity to enhance their brand experience further by transforming their office spaces.

Like many fast-paced, customer-centric businesses, office decor was often on the backburner as they prioritized delivering top-notch service to their clients. However, we understood that aligning their physical spaces with their new brand identity was crucial to reinforce their voice of warmth and genuine concern for their clients’ well-being. As we prepared to unveil their new logo on the walls, we also embarked on updating the office spaces to create a seamless brand experience.

The vision for transformation


We realized a simple office reimagining could make a world of difference in aligning their brand with their physical space. Our goal was to create an environment that not only felt professional but one that also exuded warmth and care.

  • We introduced plants to add life and growth while aligning with their branding colors.
  • Local art pieces were commissioned to showcase brand colors and foster a connection with the community.
  • Soft furnishings, such as throw pillows and decor in brand colors, elevated the existing furniture.
  • We de-emphasized highly-chromed furniture by layering in warm metal accents to enhance the inviting atmosphere.
  • Increasing Accessibility: To make the office more inclusive, we reconfigured the layout to ensure it was accessible to all clients.

The results


The impact of these simple yet purposeful changes was remarkable. The office’s transformation better aligned with our client’s brand personality and voice. Employees felt more motivated and connected to the brand, and clients appreciated the warm, caring atmosphere.
