Designing a Space That Speaks: Aligning Interiors with Brand Values

Your Space Is Your Brand—Make It Work for You
When I founded Loren Ng Designs, I knew I wasn’t just creating beautiful interiors—I was crafting brand experiences. From the very beginning, how I represented myself through branding was just as important as the spaces I designed.
I believe interior design is more than décor—it’s a silent ambassador for your business. It sets the tone, expresses your values, and plays a vital role in how people perceive your brand. In a saturated market, customers gravitate toward businesses that feel intentional, authentic, and aligned in every detail.
That’s why I always tell my clients: your brand doesn’t stop at your logo or your website. It’s alive in your space—your layout, your lighting, your textures, and even the scent in the air.
Start with Intention: Set the Tone Before You Design

Whenever I begin designing a space, the very first thing I focus on is the intention. I ask myself—and my clients—What do we want people to feel the moment they step in? Should the space feel calming, energizing, luxurious, or bold? That emotional tone becomes the compass for every decision that follows.
Once that vision is clear, I start bringing it to life—beginning with materials.
I’ve found that the textures and surfaces we choose are some of the most powerful tools in shaping the mood of a space.
Here’s how I think about materials and the feelings they create:
- Wood brings warmth and a natural, welcoming feel.
- Concrete adds a modern, industrial edge.
- Velvet introduces softness and luxury.
- Matte black metal feels bold and sophisticated.
- Glass and mirrors open up the space and create lightness.
These choices may seem small, but they’re essential in building a space that not only looks good—but feels aligned with your brand.
“Layouting” the Customer Experience
Your layout matters just as much as your materials. When I design a space, I always think about how customers will move through it, from the moment they enter to the moment they engage.
I often take inspiration from supermarkets. They’re masters of intuitive flow, subtly guiding visitors while maximizing engagement. That same strategy applies to almost any space:
- In retail or F&B, the entrance needs to excite and invite. It should spark curiosity and pull people in.
- In waiting areas, I like to include elements that calm or entertain. A children’s clinic, for example, might feature an aquarium or interactive screens to ease anxiety.
- For restaurants, I plan layouts that accommodate solo diners, couples, and larger groups—flexibility is key to comfort and turnover.
- In shared lounges, I love to blur the lines between retail and rest. By creating spaces that feel relaxed yet engaging, people naturally linger, explore, and connect with the brand.
A thoughtful layout isn’t just about functionality—it’s about storytelling through movement. And when done right, it leaves a lasting impression.

Highlighting the Senses Within Your Space
Now, it’s time to highlight your materials and layout. I never underestimate lighting—it sets the emotional tone the moment someone walks in. Whether it’s soft and warm, bright and clinical, or bold and playful, lighting speaks volumes about your brand. I use it not just to illuminate, but to guide mood and movement.
To deepen the experience, I love adding multi-sensory layers. Ambient sound or soft music brings calm or energy to a space. A signature scent can trigger instant emotional connection.
Design isn’t just visual. The more senses you engage, the more your brand becomes something people truly remember.

The Final Touch: Making Your Brand Unforgettable
At Loren Ng Designs, I know that when every element—layout, materials, lighting, and sensory details—is perfectly aligned, your space becomes a powerful extension of your brand. It communicates your story effortlessly.
To help you truly stand out, I recommend adding a signature touch—a custom artwork, a tactile feature, or a personalized gift—that makes your customers feel recognized and valued.
These thoughtful details don’t just encourage repeat business; they transform your space into a destination, building loyalty and driving growth through unforgettable experiences.
