Best Colours for Productivity
Colour psychology is the study of how colours affect human behavior, perceptions, and emotions, including moods and physical health. This also applies to productivity and concentration, with some colours even increasing chances of success. A home office doesn’t need to replicate a corporate space, it's simply about making your home work office a space that you will work best in.Â
Below we reveal which colours will help to boost your productivity when working from home, making them the perfect choice for a home office.
Peach
Choosing the right home office colours can have a big impact on the way you work. Colours with long visual wavelengths, like reds and oranges, can boost your attention span and energy levels, making them perfect for study spaces or home offices. Lush Peach is ideal for a home office, providing a cosy yet bright and stimulating environment.Â
Light Sage
A soothing sage can help to reduce distractions, which can be beneficial for focus. It’s elevated and relaxed, making it a great fit for a home office space. Mix with wooden accents and indoor plants for a stylish touch. Green can also reduce anxiety and eye strain, making it a good choice for a desktop. Green is always a popular choice for home decor and a soothing tone can help keep you calm when your work life is anything but!
