We take budget, brand and beauty seriously.
We cut our teeth on hospitality and food service design in the 1980’s. We cultivated our palette on resorts, country clubs and senior care facilities through the 1990’s.
Today we delight in working with owners who want their spaces to be more than pretty. Whether it is an office, a hotel, a senior care facility, a retail store, a public or shared space, customers know that we take their budget and their brand into consideration and deliver a great looking design.
But they also may want to impact the well being, behavior and productivity of the people working, shopping or visiting the space. That could be the real “ROI” for them.
Our small team has worked together for more than 20 years and together we have completed over 500 projects, procured more than $20M in product, and managed an assortment of teams that included architects, contractors, sub-contractors, owners, investors, developers and users.
r.o.i. Design provides a return on your design investment and creates lasting customer experiences.
We are a creative team who leads the process of collaborative planning and design.
Our methods and problem solving skills produce outcomes that are based on budget, brand and beauty.

What’s on the wall matters, and it better represent your brand!
Talcott Franklin Law Firm
Recently on a road trip with my family, we stopped at a pancake house and I was delighted to see images on the wall of children with their faces covered in whipped cream, fruit bits and syrup and laughing. The photos were artistically shot and artfully mounted. They replaced the tired landscapes that typically decorate the walls of these establishments. Most of them were close-ups of just the face, but it wasn’t hard to imagine the rest of the child, drowning in happiness.

Why spend money on wall art that doesn’t promote your brand when it is so easy and cost effective to do so? The team at r.o.i. Design has been in the business of custom wall art programs since 1995. But it is easier than ever with the help of print technology advancements. The current infatuation of infographics, illustration and graphic design can be linked to tech savvy generation who loves type fonts, Instagram and Pinterest. It seems pretty natural for wall art today to mimic those interests and educate the viewer on the values and brand of the property.
r.o.i. Design has used the following techniques to add interest to walls:
- Stripes and blocks as décor: Sometimes paint, sometimes vinyl, sometimes acoustical panels.
- Logos as art: Oversized, repeated, or just all by itself.
- Fonts and Words as banners, wallcovering or murals: Word clouds, message murals.
- Symbols and brand color as part of details: Custom tiles, custom art.
- Regional photos and historic landmarks: Custom art, wallcovering.
Here are more pictures of ways we added interest to walls:

Colorfield by Hella Jongerius – Image Copyright Maharam
Colorfield by Hella Jongerius combines multiple weave structures in a highly tactile surface. Various textures alternate in blocks: a two-toned grid dissolves into a patch of diagonal twill that then transitions to an expanse of solid basket weave. Stacked bands of color are counterposed, with broad columns of neutral texture offsetting their various rhythms. 100% wool. Maharam

Swagr brings levity to any space and situation.
