# Garage-Inspired Offices The Google Amsterdam Interior is based on Where Google was Founded By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-03-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-amsterdam References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2014/03/18/google-amsterdam-by-ddock/) & [ddock.nl](http://www.ddock.nl/) Inspired by the original space where [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-view) founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin started the company, the Google Amsterdam office has a grungy, [garage-like feel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovation-campus-1). While this may sound strange, it makes perfect sense considering the two men began plugging away at what is now a massive company in the comfort of a garage. "[Colorful](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sauvage-tv)," is the main word I would use to describe this interior. Not one room is dull, as neutral colors are used sparingly. A yellow, cushioned wall runs alongside a brick exterior, and there's even a small trailer parked in the middle of the floor with a bright green chair on the outside. The Google Amsterdam office is anything but boring and bland. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Grungy Office Spaces:** Opportunity to create unconventional, inspiring work environments that break away from traditional office norms. - **Bold Use of Color:** Potential to incorporate vibrant colors and unique color combinations to create visually stimulating office interiors. - **Incorporating Non-traditional Elements:** Exploration of incorporating unconventional elements such as trailers and unusual furniture to add character to office spaces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to create innovative office designs that reflect the unique culture and identity of companies. - **Furniture:** Potential for furniture manufacturers to design and produce unique and unconventional furniture pieces specifically for office spaces. - **Tech Startup:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for tech companies to create unconventional work environments that foster creativity and attract talent. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Amsterdam-Honoring Dynamic Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/un-studio.md) - [Art Gallery-Inspired Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maniera.md) - [Expansive Tech Offices Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/googleplex.md) - [Bright Colorful Workshop Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-sm.md) - [Farm-Inspired Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-barn-1.md) - [Colorful Creative Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podimo-office.md) - [Incredibly Colorful Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-office.md) - [Vibrant Multi-Level Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gensler.md) - [Contrasting Workspace Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workspace-interior.md)
