Canopy60 Creative Meeting Room Name Ideas for Melbourne
When it comes to office fitouts, the big-ticket items often get all the attention—floor plans, furniture, lighting. But at Canopy Fitouts, we know it’s often the small, thoughtful details that make a workplace truly sing.
One of the most overlooked? Your meeting room names.
Gone are the days of “Meeting Room 1” and “Boardroom 2.” In Melbourne’s evolving workplace culture, creative naming is more than a fun exercise; it’s a subtle yet powerful way to reinforce your brand, connect with employees, and create a workspace people genuinely enjoy.
Need some inspiration to get started? We have 60 names to help you get the creative juices flowing. Check them all out below.
Why Meeting Room Names Matter in Your Fitout
As a local office fitout company, we see firsthand how intentional design influences company culture. Meeting room names can:
- Express your brand personality to staff and clients.
- Celebrate shared culture—whether that’s Melbourne laneways, Victorian landmarks, or a shared love of 80s movies.
- Enhance wayfinding and reduce booking confusion in busy offices.
- Spark conversation and bring joy to everyday meetings.
A strategically named space primes the mood. A name like “Innovation Lab” sets a creative tone before you even walk through the door, while “Focus Pod” signals deep work ahead.
How to Choose Meeting Room Names
When we work with our fitout clients, we encourage them to treat meeting room naming as part of their brand and culture strategy, not just a last-minute afterthought. Here are our four guiding principles:
1. Reflect Your Brand
Your meeting rooms should tell your company’s story. Draw from your brand values, industry, and the tone you want to set in the workplace.
- Why it works: It reinforces your identity in every booking, tour, and client visit.
- Example for a tech startup: “Pixel Point,” “The Code Cave,” “Cloud Nine.”
- Example for a financial firm: “Bull Market,” “Equity Room,” “The Ledger.”
- Example for a design agency: “The Sketchpad,” “Colour Wheel,” “Concept Corner.”
2. Choose a Theme
A consistent theme makes your meeting room names more memorable and cohesive, while also creating talking points for staff and visitors. The possibilities are endless—pick one that feels right for your culture.
- Pop Culture Nostalgia: 80s movies (“Back to the Future,” “Top Gun”), 90s music (“Spice World,” “Wonderwall”), or famous TV shows (“Central Perk” (Friends), “Monk’s Cafe” (Seinfeld)).
- Travel & Adventure: Iconic cities, wonders of the world, or bucket-list destinations.
- Melbourne Inspiration: Local suburbs, laneways, or tram stops.
- Nature & Outdoors: Mountains, beaches, or native flora and fauna.
- Why it works: Themes help create a unified visual and cultural thread through the office, and make wayfinding intuitive and memorable (“The 80s rooms are down the left corridor”).
3. Make It Functional
Functional names are clear and purposeful, helping employees choose the right space for the right activity.
- Why it works: Reduces booking errors, improves space utilisation, and sets meeting expectations before they start.
- Examples: “Brainstorm Bay” for creative workshops, “Focus Pod” for solo deep work, “Quick Connect” for short stand-ups, “Pitch Perfect” for presentation rooms.
- Tip: You can combine function with fun—“The War Room” could be your strategy hub, while “Collaboration Cove” could be for team projects.
4. Keep It Inclusive
Inclusive names ensure everyone feels represented and respected, and that visitors understand the meaning without needing much of an insider’s explanation. We recommend avoiding slang and super-niche jokes, being respectful when using cultural references. This is especially important if your office hosts clients and visitors regularly.
- Why it works: It strengthens belonging while avoiding alienation or misunderstandings.
- Tip: Involve employees in the process through surveys or naming workshops so the final list reflects a broad range of perspectives.
