Color Ideas For The Office

Work goes hand in hand with stress, and it magnifies when you’re in a stress-inducing environment which only sucks the left energy out of you. Blame this on the aesthetic qualities of most workplaces, or their lack, thereof. Oftentimes, the importance of good-looking surroundings is taken for granted. Stunning and gorgeous spaces can be very inspiring and virtually evoke good vibes, and these are vital in order for us to perform better and be more productive.

It is normally simple and very achievable to revamp and improve an office space but it’s a good plan to ask a professional interior designer beforehand. In choosing color, it is critical to be aware of the things that will be happening in each office since white walls all over are now almost obsolete. Correct use of color may boost lighting. Thus, it will create an illusion of bigger or smaller space. Color is always amusing and thrilling and every color evokes different kinds of emotion so taking time to consider your color scheme options really matter.

When movement is occurring in a space, such as the reception area, brighter colors are the perfect colors. On the other hand, paler colors are ideal in creating space and light within a room.

If you are looking for colors with high concentration, keep in mind that blue and green are found to give a sense of peace and calmness. Yellow and red are known to be thought-provoking and suggest power and bravery as well as imagination and action, making them the perfect preference for meeting rooms. Black and white combination is often perceived as the colors of power and supremacy.

However, when picking extreme or loud colors such as neon, you should be very vigilant since they can be overwhelming. Moderation is key.

Another thing to consider when choosing color is the lighting that they will ultimately be in. The more natural light there is in the room, the more luminous the colors become. Artificial lighting also has an effect on the color. Incandescent light bulbs emit a warm glow while fluorescent light bulbs create a cool glow.

Textures can also alter the color. A color painted on a grainy wood will come out different when painted on a smooth surface.

All of these are the reasons why meticulous trying and testing is crucial.

Taking The Office Ceiling A Notch Higher

If you want to revamp your office, then changing the boring white ceiling should be taken into consideration

What’s the typical ceiling, you’re wondering. It’s usually a sequence of grids perched overhead, dropped down from the original ceiling. The grids allow panels be dropped in so as to complete the ceiling. Panels can reduce noise and they are normally white in order to reflect light. Therefore, they are monotonous for a reason, but it’s time we brought life to the ceiling.

Most dark wood colors like mahogany or cherry are tad too dark for office use, but lighter shades of maple would do. Such wood-look patterns and colors are featured on panels that have a raised border all around with another square in the center. Simply put, they are much like a square on a square. Panels also come in shiny mirror finishes of gold and silver. The same shades are also in flat surface panels.

Drop-in panels that look like sculptured plaster are even more stunning. Imagine those flamboyant towering ceilings in classic old houses, that have beautiful patterns of rosettes and swirls. Such panels are typically lightweight, insulated and white, but not your usual boring white.

Tin drop-in panels would surely beautify a room, with designs of leaves, diamonds, and swirl. Deep bronze or copper are the go-to color of many, but you may go for other shiny metallic colors like silver.

The 12 X 12 panels have sixteen, four, or only one printed impression per tile. You can paint them, and you can buy strips to somehow wrap the exposed grids in the suspended ceiling. Due to the very light weight of such panels, you must secure a weighted layer in order to hold them in place.  You can overlap old panels onto the new panels to enhance sound-reducing and insulation properties.

Offices are for business purposes, but refurbishing your ceiling is the perfect example of mixing business with pleasure.
