Company Overview
Founded in 1979 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, Creative Palette, Inc. is a visual branding and design firm that specializes in transforming interior environments. We serve as a "one-stop-shop" for commercial, medical, and retail clients, helping them define their brand and culture through physical space.

Core Services
Our work is categorized into three primary pillars:
- Art: We provide art selection, consultation, and custom framing. Our team artists and fabricators work on projects ranging from single statement pieces to large-scale collections for healthcare facilities, senior living centers, and corporate offices. Our team curates, creates, and fabricates a cohesive art program that moves you from idea to installation with ease. By curating with emotion as the blueprint, we turn walls into experiences that draw people in, shape how they feel, and linger long after they’ve left the room.
- Branding & Environmental Graphics: This includes wallcoverings, window films, and environmental graphics that communicate a company's identity. We also specialize in custom fabrication of unique textures and forms (such as wood structures or faux finishes). We craft branded environments that speak for your brand. We start with your vision and transform it into an immersive world that tells an entire story. With forty years of experience and a team of dreamers and makers who are hyper-focused on excellence and detail, we build brand expressions that draw people in, shape how they feel, and call them back.
- Architectural Solutions & Signage: We design and install interior signage, wayfinding systems, and ADA-compliant layouts. Our architectural product lines are designed to create "immersive environments" that are functional yet visually striking.
When space needs more than off-the-shelf materials can offer, we create architectural elements that work even better. Guided by your goals, we find materials that solve your challenges and collaborate with you to ensure effortless execution. The result is an elevated aesthetic for the entire space and an environment that functions beautifully.
