Colleague, Use Color to Improve Efficiency in Your Office!
The effects of color on human beings have been studied in a variety of settings for many years. Without a doubt, certain colors evoke strong feelings and emotional responses whether we notice it or not. Certain colors, like light blues, soothe people's spirits, while others like reds and oranges are likely to increase excitibality. An aesthetically pleasing use of color also encourages people to feel at ease in an environment, and enjoy the time that is spent there more so than when placed in a drab or exagerrated environment.
Some good rules of thumb when designing the color scheme of your office are as follows:
Take some time to think about what your office needs. If your employees work in a high-stress environment, for example, it might be a good idea to utilize neutral, calm colors that ease stress levels and allow people to focus on their tasks better and more carefully. If you have a lot of customers or clients coming into your office, you will want to consider how the colors will affect them, or even what they expect. Do they expect to visit a very modern, bright setting, with bold colors and new patterns? Or would they be more comfortable arriving in a more modest, calm environment with light colors and natural tones?
Be consistent throughout the office environment. If you have multiple rooms and offices within your companies space, you should attempt to achieve some level of consistency amongst the color schemes developed so that everything in the office is united and coherent. There may be some instances when you want to have a very separate or distinguished office or room, but for the most part consistency is reassuring and helps create a cohesive environment.
Have Fun! This is your chance to design and outstanding space, and playing with different color schemes in your office should be fun! And don't just limit your experimenting to paint and trim, but expand it to chairs, desks, tables and more. Designing your office space should be an enjoyable experience, and the rewards of productivity, enhanced employee morale and more, will only make it even better!
