Your corporate headquarters is more than just the hub of your business operations. Your office aesthetics set the tone for your employees, and customers and clients who visit your HQ will see it as a signal of how you work and what your standards are. It is important to design your space to reflect your company’s culture and brand. This article will highlight three key considerations for creating a professional headquarters design that is sure to impress. 

Optimize the Outdoors 

If your office building has outdoor spaces that your employees and clients use for meetings (or even just for taking their lunch breaks), then the design of these areas is just as important as the design of your boardroom. Again, it’s all about what signal you’re sending, so if your outdoor space is ill kept, it will reflect poorly on your company. The first place to start is with a solid maintenance schedule for your outdoor areas. Keep your lawns mowed, your hedges trimmed, and your pathways clear. If you’re fortunate enough to have water features, make sure you have a plan for aquatic weed control. The details matter.

Keep it Consistent

When it comes to your interior design approach, you want to present a uniform look that reflects your company’s brand. Choose a professional color palette that you can maintain office-wide. When choosing wall decor, make sure the pieces are relevant to either your company or your local area. You want them to enhance the atmosphere without distracting, so there’s no need to spend big on masterpieces. Presentable, pleasant, and relevant selections will suffice. 

Plan for Productivity 

All this hard work creating a beautiful space is wasted if your headquarters doesn’t facilitate the work of your staff and visiting customers. Make sure your design accommodates the work flow and daily operations of your organization, so you can make the most out of your newly designed space. 

How you design your headquarters will depend on your company, your brand, your corporate culture and your budget. Follow these guides for a professional, impressive atmosphere that is sure to please and impress.
