With so many people working remotely or on hybrid schedules, the home office has become an important room in the house. Work areas have been thoughtfully carved out of living rooms, kitchen nooks, attics, basements, spare rooms, closets and even garages. Regardless of size or location, a considerable amount of time is spent in this room each day. Productivity is the #1 consideration for a successful workspace and colour plays a role in achieving that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When choosing colour for your home office, consider the types of activities that take place there. How does the room need to feel for you to do your best work? Do you need to sit quietly and focus, or will you take calls and join video conferences? Will you need to move around the room or have tables available to spread out projects? Is this your private workplace, or do you share the area with other family members?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proper lighting is a must. Natural light from a window helps keep energy levels at their peak. Task lighting can also keep eyes from becoming fatigued if they have to focus on small details for a long time. Colour also looks better in well-lit rooms!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s take a look at how colour can impact your working style:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

White is a great colour for small spaces to help areas feel larger and more open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colourfully yours,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
