Art-Inspired Meeting Room Names: 40+ Ideas From Paintings to Composers

Art-themed room names do something most other themes can't: they make your office feel cultured without trying hard. Say "I'll be in Starry Night" and people get it immediately. There's no need to explain the reference or justify the choice.

This list covers three categories — art movements, famous paintings, and classical composers. Each works on its own as a theme, or you can mix them if your office has enough rooms.

Art Movements

These names are short, punchy, and each carries a distinct personality. They work well on door signage and in calendar invites.

1. Renaissance — The room for big, ambitious projects. New ideas being born.
2. Baroque — Grand presentations and formal meetings. A little dramatic, and that's fine.
3. Impressionist — Quick captures of ideas. Brainstorming and initial concept sessions.
4. Cubist — Multiple perspectives at once. Cross-functional meetings where different teams bring different angles.
5. Surrealist — The weird ideas room. Creative sessions where nothing is off limits.
6. Art Nouveau — Design reviews and UX work. Organic, flowing, detail-oriented.
7. Bauhaus — Form meets function. Product meetings, architecture discussions, operational planning.
8. Futurist — Forward-looking strategy sessions. Roadmap planning, trend analysis.
9. Dada — Challenge everything. Retrospectives and constructive criticism sessions.
10. Pop Art — Bold, attention-grabbing work. Marketing meetings and campaign planning.
11. Minimalist — Focused, no-fluff meetings. Status updates and standups.
12. Art Deco — A bit of glamour. Client-facing meetings and board presentations.
13. Expressionist — Emotional honesty. Team health checks and feedback sessions.
14. Constructivist — Building something new. Sprint planning and project kickoffs.

Famous Paintings

Painting names are longer, which makes them feel more distinctive. People tend to remember them well because they can picture the artwork.

15. Starry Night — Van Gogh's swirling sky. The brainstorming room where ideas come alive at odd hours.
16. Mona Lisa — Your most prestigious meeting room. The one you save for important visitors.
17. The Scream — Problem-solving and crisis management. It's a little on the nose, but that's what makes it memorable.
18. Water Lilies — Monet's calm. A quiet room for reflection, 1-on-1s, or decompressing after a tough meeting.
19. The Persistence of Memory — Dalí's melting clocks. Long-term planning sessions where time bends.
20. Girl with a Pearl Earring — Elegant and understated. Client meetings and presentations.
21. The Great Wave — Hokusai's iconic print. Change management and navigating turbulence.
22. Guernica — Picasso's protest. Social responsibility discussions, ethics reviews, and tough conversations.
23. The Night Watch — Rembrandt's group portrait. Large team meetings and department reviews.
24. The Kiss — Klimt's golden embrace. Collaboration and partnership meetings.
25. American Gothic — Core values and company culture discussions. Tradition with a hint of humor.
26. Campbell's Soup Cans — Warhol's pop art. Marketing and brand strategy.
27. The Birth of Venus — New beginnings. Product launches and project kickoffs.
28. The Thinker — Rodin's sculpture (close enough). Quiet focus room for deep work.
29. Sistine Chapel — Your largest, most impressive space. The ceiling reference is unavoidable.

Classical Composers

Composer names add sophistication and are surprisingly practical — most are short, easy to pronounce, and sound natural in conversation.

30. Bach — Structured, methodical work. Process meetings and system design.
31. Mozart — Light, quick, brilliant. Sprint reviews and creative showcases.
32. Beethoven — Power and emotion. The big presentation room.
33. Chopin — Intimate and refined. 1-on-1s and mentoring conversations.
34. Vivaldi — Seasons change. Quarterly reviews and planning cycles.
35. Debussy — Impressionistic, open to interpretation. Early-stage ideation.
36. Stravinsky — Breaking conventions. Innovation sessions and disruptive thinking.
37. Tchaikovsky — Grand and theatrical. All-hands presentations and celebrations.
38. Handel — Speeches and addresses. Town halls and executive updates.
39. Rachmaninoff — Complex, layered work. Technical deep-dives and architecture reviews.
40. Elgar — Problem-solving. Named after his "Enigma Variations" — the puzzle room.

Making It Work

A few practical notes:

• Print a reproduction or reference at the door. A small card with a thumbnail of Starry Night or a one-liner about Bach gives the name context. It's a nice touch for visitors who might not know why the room is called that.
• Match the mood to the room. Minimalist should feel clean and focused. Baroque can be the fancier room with better chairs. When the name matches the space, the whole thing feels intentional.
• Use short versions in calendars. "Starry Night" works great in a calendar invite. "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" does not. Stick with names that fit in a booking system.

Keep Your Rooms Organized

Once you've picked out names for your meeting rooms, you'll want a system to manage bookings and availability. WOX's room booking solution makes it easy to see which rooms are free, book recurring meetings, and keep everything organized — so your beautifully named rooms actually get used.

A room called Starry Night deserves better than a paper sign-up sheet taped to the door.
