Austin Office Decor: Making a Workspace Feel Like Austin
Office decor ideas for Austin companies: lobbies, conference rooms and desks that feel local, from Hill Country materials to an Austin skyline sculpture on the reception desk.
Austin Office Decor: Making a Workspace Feel Like Austin
Quick answer: An office that feels like Austin borrows from the city rather than from a catalog: warm Hill Country materials, local art, plants that can handle Texas light, and one or two pieces that say Austin outright, such as an Austin skyline sculpture on the reception desk or conference-room shelf. Companies ordering 10 or more can have their own name on the base.
Many Austin offices look like they could be anywhere: white walls, grey carpet, the same chairs as every other floor in the building. For a company that chose Austin, and often recruits people to Austin, the office is a chance to show it.
Where decor matters most
Reception and lobby
The first thing visitors and candidates see. One strong local piece does more than a wall of stock art. A Large Austin skyline on the reception desk, with the company name on its base, works as both signage and decor.
Conference rooms
Many Austin companies name meeting rooms after local places: neighborhoods, streets, landmarks, live-music venues. Put a matching print or object in each room and the names start to mean something.
Desks
Small things people choose for themselves. A Small skyline (6 inches) fits next to a monitor; give one to every new hire and the whole floor shares a detail.
Materials and style that read as Austin
- Limestone and warm wood. The pale stone of the Hill Country is a natural fit for walls and accents.
- Local art. Screen-printed gig posters are part of the city's music history and look great framed.
- Plants. Choose varieties that tolerate strong light and dry air.
- Matte black and brass. A contemporary palette that suits glass-tower offices downtown.
A note on the skyline
Our Austin skyline shows the Texas State Capitol dome low at the front, with the Frost Bank Tower and downtown's towers behind, in matte black with brushed-gold lettering. For offices, we can replace "AUSTIN" with your company name on orders of 10 or more, and fit it out across reception, meeting rooms and desks.
