Paint Colors for Your Home Office

With the increase in technology today more and more people are able to work from home while telecommunicating over the internet. A home office is a great place to organize not only your documents and materials, but your thoughts as well. Believe it or not, the color of your home office can actually impact your level of productivity.

Consider these tips before deciding what color to paint your home office:

Orange: Shades of orange evoke enthusiasm and energy. The color has been known to encourage creativity, so if you are a designer, writer, or any type of creative mind, orange is a great color choice for your home office.

Red: Red is known as an energetic color, as it has been known to raise blood pressure and speed up heart rate. If you spend a lot of time on phone calls or conferencing via computer, red may be the color for you as it is a stimulant for conversation and collaboration.

Brown: Browns are interpreted as a soothing color, and evoke feelings of security, credibility, and assurance. If you need that extra confidence boost in your work, brown may be the perfect color for your home office area.

Blue: Blues can evoke the feelings of stability and give off a calming vibe. If you are often stressed while working, the coolness that blue provides may help you work through the stress.

Green:  Greens is also calming, and has a stabilizing effect on the body as a whole. It has shown to relieve stress and researchers have said that green can improve reading ability. If your job depends on your ability to comprehend mass amounts of information, paint your home office green.

Although the color of your office may not make or break you, choosing a color that is fitting to your line of work and environment can definitely help with your overall mood and productivity. For help with your painting project, contact Yorktown Painters at 757-223-7063.
