Corporations are engaging in the process of redesigning their corporate identities to establish a sustainable relationship with the customers. Corporations may use different elements to reflect their corporate identities in a desired manner to their customers and interior design is one of those elements commonly used. Interior design of corporate spaces is the visual face of corporations and also a visual communication ground with the customer. In this framework, aim of this paper is to explore the interior design applications on a specific private bank branch example in Turkey as a case study to emphasize the importance of interior design in creating corporate identity. It presents an interdisciplinary study both in graphic and interior design disciplines. The conclusion of this paper contributes to the investigations regarding the impact of interior design for desired customer perception.
