Kuwait City / Company offices & government workplaces
Five of the six Kuwait City office projects we found published use wood. Three bring in a red: brick red in Shuwaikh, a brand red in KBT Tower and maroon in a 2017 Sharq office.
Workplace and facilities teams refitting a tower floor in the city center can start here. So can a group fitting out a headquarters that shares its building with its own showrooms, as one group did in Shuwaikh. Fit-out contractors and workplace designers finishing a compact office in Sharq or Souk Al Tujjar can compare their floor with sections 01 and 02. Section 03 covers walkway walls. Section 04 covers the entrance wall, where a 2026 advisory from the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) urged employers to show a QR code. Project teams at ministries and public bodies moving into government-owned buildings have section 05.
Each canvas for your floor is painted on linen by one painter, from your brief, at PaletteMomento’s studio in Dafen Art Village, Shenzhen, China.

01 / Six published floors
We found six Kuwait City office projects with a published location and a look their designers describe. Other studios designed them, and none of them is our work.
| Where, and what kind of company | Materials and accent, as published |
|---|---|
Shuwaikh Industrial 1, a premium brands group The group distributes coffee and furniture brands. It announced this new headquarters in March 2025, in a former glass factory of about 6,000 square meters that also holds its showrooms and storage. | Brick red beside curving light wood.The first-floor offices pair brick-red laminate panels with curving light-wood walls. The building’s gallery space has basalt floors, dark terracotta walls, slatted wood ceilings and bronze window frames, with planting throughout. That is according to the architect’s project text. |
KBT Tower, a brand’s head office Completed in January 2025, across reception, meeting and breakout areas. | Gray, oak and steel, with the brand’s red.The base is gray, oak and stainless steel. The brand’s red comes in through furniture, shelving, door handles and custom joinery. |
Sharq, glazed offices and meeting areas Completed in 2017. The kind of business is not published. | White and concrete, with deep blue and maroon.Folded surfaces shape the rooms in white and concrete. Deep blue and maroon appear only in selected places. |
Sharq, a design studio’s own office 50 square meters, finished in October 2020. It may have changed since then. | Microcement, walnut and travertine.Microcement walls have rounded corners meant to evoke desert sands. There is a walnut and stainless-steel sliding divider, with travertine tables. A low travertine slab along one wall serves as seating and shelves. |
Souk Al Tujjar, an office renovation 185 square meters in the heart of Kuwait City. No year is published. | Wood paneling behind a second-skin facade.The facade adds privacy and shade, with openings toward the sea and Seif Palace. Inside are wood paneling, soft finishes and built-in lighting, and each level is set up for a different job. |
Kuwait City, a compact office 160 square meters, completed in 2023. No district is published. | Glass, black metal, walnut and oak.Custom cabinetry runs through the space. The client’s own art and antique collection is built into the interior. |
Wood appears in five of the six. The three reds sit in different places: laminate panels in Shuwaikh, furniture and joinery in KBT Tower, selected surfaces beside deep blue in Sharq. The other three publish no accent color. They let materials lead instead: microcement and travertine, wood paneling, or glass and black metal.
That is six projects, not a rule for the city or for any district. In Mirqab, Burj AlShaya on Al Soor Street houses offices such as a law firm that moved its Kuwait office there in 2023. We found no published interior there, so a firm in that tower starts from its own brief.
Roses for a red-led floor, a sea village for a blue-led one: catalog canvases only.
02 / Showroom, brand red or collection
Three of those floors give a new canvas a very different neighbor: a showroom, a brand’s own red, an owner’s collection. Name the situation closest to yours, because it changes what a canvas has to work with. Then brief the style you want.
In Shuwaikh, one group’s offices share a former glass factory with its brand showrooms and storage.
Decide which walls belong to the showroom and which belong to the offices before subjects and sizes are chosen. Showroom walls work beside the brands on show, and office walls get their own brief. Our showroom art guide covers the showroom side.
In KBT Tower, a brand’s red runs through the furniture, shelving, door handles and joinery.
Decide whether a canvas carries the red too, or leaves it to the joinery and furniture. Send a photo of the red pieces you already have, or your brand color code. See color-matched paintings for how we work from a color.
A 160 square-meter Kuwait City office from 2023 builds the client’s art and antiques into the interior.
List the art and antiques already on show, and the wall left between the cabinetry. A new canvas can then join the collection instead of competing with it.
Your floor might take brick red like the Shuwaikh laminate, a brand red like the KBT Tower joinery, maroon with deep blue, or no accent at all. Whatever style your company chooses, we paint it to your brief, with the subject and palette you name and a width and height for each wall.
03 / Walkway walls
PADA, Kuwait’s Public Authority for Disability Affairs, publishes the Kuwait Accessibility Code (Universal Design). Ministerial Resolution 696/2024 applies it by building use. The resolution has been in force since publication in Kuwait Al-Youm on 29 September 2024.
The code says objects shall not protrude more than 100 mm into the pedestrian path. Obstructions with a leading edge above 580 mm from the floor shall not protrude more than 100 mm from walls, posts or other elements. Lower ones may project further, because a white cane can detect them.
The code’s protruding-object rule does not mention artwork. Your landlord, fit-out consultant or adviser can tell you how it applies to your walls.
For ministries and public authorities, the Council of Ministers made the code a mandatory reference for all current and future state projects on 30 December 2025. Your project team decides whether an office fit-out is one of those projects.
A side view of a walkway wall, in the code’s own terms.
Split your list into canvases for corridors and other walking routes, and canvases for rooms. Give your landlord or fit-out consultant the height at which each walkway canvas will hang, since the code’s figures turn on 580 mm. Then pass us the depth figure they give back, and we confirm in the quote what we can do.
04 / The entrance wall
PAM Resolution No. 15 of 2025 was published in the Official Gazette on 14 September 2025 and took effect on 1 November 2025. Times Kuwait, citing Al-Rai, and Arab Times reported what it requires. Private-sector employers must print and display their PAM-approved working hours, rest periods, weekly days off and official holidays at the workplace, in a conspicuous location.
Those reports do not name the entrance. The entrance detail comes from a PAM advisory that Arab Times reported on 30 August 2026. It urged employers to display the electronic attendance policy and QR code prominently at the entrance, so inspectors can scan it. Your HR team or adviser can tell you where your own notice belongs.
For a private-sector office, decide where the PAM QR code and any printed notice sit before the width and position of the entrance or reception canvas are set. You have two choices. The notice can sit beside the canvas, with a clear strip kept at one end of the wall. Or it can move to a side or return wall, and the canvas is centered on the main wall.
05 / Government-linked offices
Local press has followed a plan to move government agencies in temporary rented offices into buildings the state owns. Three reports carry the facts a project team needs.
As local press reported them. These are the reports’ dates, not dates for your order.
The deadlines in those 2025 reports have passed. Apart from the two Commerce examples, the reports do not show which moves were completed. Keifan is an area of Kuwait City, outside the central business district.
A ministry or public body confirms the final building and its address before we fix sizes and quantities. That answer tells both of us whose walls the brief describes.
06 / Your building and your walls
For a ministry leaving a rented capital building, that address is where the canvases will hang, which may not be the floor you use today. Then mark each canvas as walkway, entrance or room. The wall type tells us which of the notes above to raise with you for that canvas, and the quote lists each canvas on its own line.
07 / After the brief
Yes: the Ministry of Information’s visual identity guide for Kuwait’s February 2026 national celebrations uses the flag colors as its main colors, led by a main blue (Pantone 286C). Its secondary colors are inspired by Kuwait’s land and sea. The guide calls the Pride and Glory slogan usable this year and in the coming years, so one canvas in those colors can go back up each February. It also says its own images are not licensed, so send your own references, not its photos. We found no 2027 guide on the ministry’s website in early October 2026. Put Pantone 286C and the guide’s land-and-sea secondary colors on your brief.
For a Sharq office as small as 50 square meters, we suggest a horizontal canvas above any low built-in seating or shelving, not a floor-scale piece. One design studio’s own Sharq office, finished in October 2020, runs a low travertine slab along one wall as seating and shelves, though it may have changed since. Send us the length of the low piece and the clear height above it. You choose the image width and height, and we can suggest a size for that space.
In February 2026, a review of the provisions of Kuwait’s accessibility code was referred to Kuwait Municipality’s executive body, so the 100 mm and 580 mm figures may change. They do not need to wait: ask your consultant which figure applies today when you brief us. If your consultant gives a new figure later, send it to us before the walkway canvases are painted.
For a phased move like the Ministry of Higher Education’s planned relocation to Keifan in Kuwait City, brief the canvases for the buildings your ministry will use first. Give each one its address, and add later buildings once their walls are measured. Tell us the order in which your floors or buildings open, so each batch follows your move.
Yes, by eye: your approver compares a daylight photo of each finished canvas with your brand red, and approves it before anything ships to Kuwait. On a floor like the KBT Tower head office, that red already runs through door handles and joinery. The painter mixes colors on the palette against your reference. Repeats of one design match closely but never exactly. The rest of the process is on how we paint.
Yes: Kuwait City companies, fit-out contractors and workplace designers can order directly from PaletteMomento in Dafen Art Village, Shenzhen, starting from one painting. Your company’s designs and brand references stay private by default. We can also include a packing list for each shipment, so your facilities team sees which paintings, by artwork code and size, are in each case.
