Working from a home office has become the new normal. Work has switched from cubicles in an office to designated spaces in home. This is especially true since March 2020 and the eruption of the novel Coronavirus. It is no secret that working from home can be monotonous, though. Endless hours staring at a screen in a place that feels like home is not a recipe for success. 

A home office paint job is one thing that can make this repetitive routine a little brighter. Personalizing your space is essential to success. The colors you choose for this space, however, can have just as much impact as what nicknacks you surround yourself with. In this article, we will discuss the benefits different colors have on your work atmosphere. These colors can help you succeed in your work-from-home life––whether you need productivity to passion.

Choosing Paint Color for Your Home Office

The first thing to consider when you paint your office is what you are trying to achieve. Are you looking for better focus in your workplace? Perhaps you work in a flexible field and you need more creativity. To choose the color best suited for you, take a look into some color psychology and our recommendations below.

Blue: Focus and Productivity

There is a reason most social media platforms use blue for their main color. It helps you stay focused, no matter what the task you are doing. This color is popular for fields like accounting where similar tasks are required over and over again. Blue also offers a sense of calm. If you are feeling a lot of anxiety or stress in your home office, blue might be the color for you.

Yellow: Creativity and Happiness

As we all know, yellow is the color of happiness. However, it can also increase positivity, creativity, and mental activity overall. This color is great if you work in a field that requires a lot of creative thought, such as writing or marketing. If four walls of yellow may seem like a lot, consider an accent wall or some yellow furniture. 

Green: Calmness and Balance

The color green isn’t all about money (though it isn’t void from it either). It offers a sense of calmness, of balance, and can even foster feelings of freshness and prosperity. This color is especially great if you find yourself missing the outside world. People that require an extra load of seriousness and calmness while working can prosper in a green office. Lawyers and editors may specifically enjoy this color. 

Red: Passion and Stimulation

Red is one of the least popular choices for an office space. It evokes a sense of urgency and can increase energy levels. For a desk job, this might not be the best for you. Other positions, however, such as online instructors or fitness professionals may benefit from this color scheme. You don’t need a lot of red paint to get the job done, but an accent wall of a deeper color can be beautiful. A flower vase or red flowers can also get the job done.
