How to Choose the Right Colours in Your Home Office

Posted on January 2, 2021 at 9:23 am

It is widely known that our mood and behaviour can be affected by the colours around us, so it is important that when you are considering the colour scheme for your home office you go for colours that are going to help you be focused and productive.

Blue
The colour blue helps to stimulate the mind and help people stay focused.

Red
Red stimulates energy levels and evokes a sense of urgency. Too much red could make you feel anxious so it might be best when balanced with a more calming colour.

Yellow
The colour yellow evokes creativity. It helps to lift spirits and stimulate happiness.

Green
Green brings balance, calm and reassurance.

Orange
Combines the happiness of yellow and the high energy of red.

Purple
Combination of red’s energy and blue’s productivity and has commonly been associated with royalty and power.

A balanced combination of a couple of these colours could help evoke several different moods at once and different cultures can have different feelings about certain colours, so it is really down to figuring out which colours make you feel the best. Even the different hues or intensity levels (saturation) of any one colour can have different affects.
