Embracing Corporate Interior Trends at Image Options

At Image Options, we’re passionate about how Environmental Graphic Design (EGD) can transform corporate office spaces. Environmental Graphic Design, or EGD, is a multidisciplinary approach that blends elements of architecture, graphic design, and interior design to create cohesive and engaging visual environments for corporate spaces. As specialists in this field, through our extensive printing and fabrication capabilities, we understand the crucial role design plays in shaping company culture, and we’re excited to share how we’re embracing the current trends in EGD to create spaces that resonate with both companies and their employees.

Trend #1: Creating and Fostering Identity

One of the most exciting aspects of EGD is its ability to create a strong sense of identity within corporate environments. Through our custom wall and window coverings, wayfinding systems, dimensional lettering, and fabricated wall art, we help companies tell their unique stories.

Storytelling Through Design

Every organization has a narrative that reflects its mission, values, and history. At Image Options, we specialize in crafting custom design elements that bring these stories to life. From vibrant wall coverings that showcase a company’s journey to installations that highlight local culture—such as maps or imagery that resonate with the community—we create immersive experiences that engage both employees and visitors.

Culture and Customization

We believe that culture is at the heart of every workplace. By incorporating features such as local artists or company milestones, we help infuse spaces with personality and pride. We strive to consider the journey of the people who inhabit these environments, making each space uniquely theirs.

Trend #2: Interlacing Sustainability Efforts

Sustainability is no longer just a trend; it’s a necessity. At Image Options, we take this responsibility seriously and are dedicated to interlacing sustainability into our designs.

Biophilic Design

We recognize the importance of bringing nature into the workplace. Our biophilic design elements, such as moss walls and living plant installations, not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of corporate spaces but also contribute to improved air quality and employee well-being. Our attempt to create an indoor-outdoor connection can also be seen in our incorporation of natural materials like wood and stone. These natural elements create a calming atmosphere, fostering a deeper connection between employees and their work environment.

Recycled and Repurposed Materials

Our commitment to sustainability also extends to the materials we use. We actively seek out eco-friendly, recycled, and repurposed materials to create our EGD elements, whether it’s a 100% recycled fabric or a coat from the thrift store. By choosing innovative materials that have been transformed creatively, we help our clients tell a story of environmental responsibility while adding character and uniqueness to their spaces.

Trend #3: Contributing to Well-Being and Productivity

The link between workplace design and employee well-being is undeniable, and at Image Options, we strive to create environments that enhance happiness and productivity.

Post-Pandemic Mindset

It is crucial to keep in mind the impact the pandemic has had in the EGD space as more and more employees return to the office. As the pandemic has shifted our views on workspace design, the focus on mental health-supportive environments has become increasingly vital. Graphics that promote positivity, resilience, and a sense of community are now integral to creating nurturing workplaces. Also, elements such as custom privacy film and wayfinding systems put the employee’s needs at the forefront of design decisions.

Interactive Elements

We understand the importance of engaging employees in their surroundings. Our interactive design elements encourage participation and collaboration, allowing employees to become co-authors of their environments. By creating spaces that invite interaction, we foster a greater sense of belonging and connection among teams, ultimately leading to increased morale and productivity.

Conclusion

At Image Options, we believe that Environmental Graphic Design is a transformative tool that shapes how employees experience their workplaces. By embracing trends that focus on identity, sustainability, and well-being, we create environments that not only look beautiful but also function meaningfully. As we continue to push the boundaries of EGD, we’re excited to help our clients craft workplaces where employees feel valued, inspired, and connected.

Together, let’s create spaces that celebrate who you are and how you work.
