Design That Works — Not Just Looks

Commercial interior design is fundamentally different from residential design. Every square metre of a commercial space is a business investment that needs to perform — creating the right environment for staff productivity, client confidence, and operational efficiency. Decorative decisions must be grounded in strategic thinking about how people use and move through space.

Interiors by Violet brings commercial interior design expertise earned across hundreds of office, retail, hospitality, and institutional projects in Nairobi. We understand the unique challenges of designing spaces in Nairobi's commercial property market — managing costs against Nairobi CBD, Upper Hill, and Westlands lease rates, working within landlord restrictions, and designing for the specific way Kenyan businesses actually operate.

Crucially, we are also the contractor who builds what we design. This design-and-build model eliminates the misalignment between design intent and construction reality that plagues many commercial interiors projects — you get exactly what the renders showed, on time and on budget.

Our Design Services


Space Planning

The most important stage of any commercial interior project. We analyse your headcount, departmental adjacencies, workflow patterns, and future growth to develop optimised floor plans that make the most intelligent use of every square metre of your Nairobi office.

Concept Design

Development of an overall interior concept that expresses your brand identity, sector, and values through material palettes, colour schemes, lighting strategies, and feature design elements. Presented as mood boards and illustrative sketches for client alignment before technical development.

3D Visualisation

Photo-realistic 3D renders of all key spaces — reception, open plan, boardroom, breakout — produced to allow you to fully experience the proposed design before any construction commences. We make all agreed changes before mobilising on site, eliminating costly design changes mid-construction.

Technical Drawings

Detailed technical drawings, partition layout plans, ceiling reflected plans, flooring layout plans, and specification schedules for all finishes and materials. Complete documentation used for accurate costing and defect-free construction.

Lighting Design

Considered artificial lighting strategies for each space type — task lighting for workstations, ambient lighting for open plan, accent lighting for reception, and atmospheric lighting for boardrooms and hospitality areas. Coordinated with ceiling design and electrical specification.

Furniture Specification

Selection and specification of all workstations, seating, boardroom furniture, soft seating, and storage solutions. We source from trusted local and international furniture suppliers in Nairobi, ensuring quality, ergonomics, and aesthetic consistency throughout your interior.
