Interior Design and Healthy Office Interiors
It’s not always the physical looks, health should be factored in, too, when dealing with office interiors. It affects the worker’s productivity, mind you. Heed these tips to create or re-design a healthier, comfortable and beautiful office interior.
- Noise, particularly those from external sources, are very distracting. Isolate noise properly to make employees focus better.
- Bright interiors pave way for positivity and confidence. Setting a contrast of walls, ceilings and floors with the office furniture helps design an energetic office interior. Studies have shown that working in a bright environment makes one feel less tired.
- Ergonomic office chairs will aid one in sitting for longer hours sans the back pain. Choose one that can be adjusted, has a great lumbar support and a wide arm rest.
- Avoid glare from the computer screens by not positioning the desk chair with its back facing the doors or windows.
- Go for furniture that have smooth edges, and steer clear of the sharper ones.
- Interior design doesn’t call for so much accessories that they end up looking like clutter. It should be an efficient space with empty room to spare.
- Lighting should also be considered. Too much light or the wrong tint of artificial lighting can stress the eyes. Go for bluish light instead, they have spectrum that resemble that of the natural day light rather than the traditional yellow lamps.
- Clean air is always great news. Keep small, but natural, green plants in corners of the office. They produce oxygen and also help maintain the humidity level in office interiors.

Integrating Daylight into Lighting Design
The environment we're in usually creates massive impacts on the way we think and feel. Dark or dim places almost always induce drowsiness or make us less cheery. It could also negatively affect our productivity. Typical office lighting emits either too bright or too dim lighting. What if there's a lighting option that mimics daylight?
Watch this video and see if this is just what you have been rooting for!

Question by Rachel: office has large mahogony furniture, blue carpeting, with florecent lighting, what color should I paint walls?

Answer by KIT J
Pale yellow or antique white (has slight yellow cast to it) is warm, comfortable. Get at least one incandescent or halogen floor lamp for indirect lighting that can be adjusted according to the intensity of light that you need at any time–and a halogen or incandescent desk lamp.
Fluorescent lighting is hard on the eye and the brain. Fluorescent lamps do not give out a steady light, instead they flicker (fluctuate in intensity) at a rate that depends on the frequency of the driving voltage. While this is not easily discernable by the human eye, it can cause a strobe effect posing a safety hazard in a workshop for example, where something spinning at just the right speed may appear stationary if illuminated solely by a fluorescent lamp.

Question by l h: Ideas for lighting in an office with no windows?
My husband and I are renting an office space for our web design company. We want it to have a very modern look and feel.
There are no windows because it is an interior office and the carpet is maroon so it is pretty dark inside. I want it to be bright like a modern office. Any ideas?
