Home Office Painters Add Appeal with New Colors

Home offices are getting more use than ever. At best, this is a room of work in your relaxing house. At worst it’s a messy room full of papers and computers. Whether you use the room for your everyday work or at the minimum for household matters, the room should inspire productivity and thoughtfulness. Our home office painters add appeal with new colors and decor.

Colors

To begin your home office overhaul, start with color choices. Pick colors that make you feel serene and productive. Good choices can be blues, greens, browns and off whites. These colors each come with their own benefits for a home office, but choose one that appeals to you.

Picking colors for any other room seems simple. Homeowners have strong opinions when it comes to hues for kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms. Approach your home office with the same conviction. Pick options that are appealing and encouraging for a working environment.

Here are a few tips for use of light and dark shades to add effects to your home office space:

Use white and light colors to create the feeling of a larger space. Dark colors will make it feel smaller.
Scale height down by painting the bottom of the walls lighter, and the top darker. This is useful in large rooms with vaulted ceilings.
One approach for a sure-fire success is to pick two tints a few shades apart from the same color palette. This will ensure your room matches with a monochromatic look.

Organize

Successful office design tends to lie in the details. Built-in cabinets, bookcases and file cabinets give you storage space and establish overall appeal. Adding the right trim, molding and storage items will finish the look. Hide messier items with boxes and file folders on the shelves.

Creating a work-feeling in the room will make the difference between goofing off and getting things done. If you have the ability, it’s important to make this a room solely for working. Removing guest beds, televisions and other distractions make the room feel more like an office you would experience in a work environment.

Further Paint Effects

Beyond the color choice you make, there are more depth and textural effects you can put into place with paint. Here are several examples from our home office painters to consider.

Create an aged look by using a technique called distressing. This is where painters mask portions of the wall with glue or petroleum jelly. This prevents the paint from adhering and creates a patchy appearance.
Sponging
on paint creates layers and texture giving the walls a bolder finish.
Using a special brush to create a fine texture through stippling
allows a finer texture that is near impossible to distinguish. The walls just have a richer, more velvety texture to them.
