Boosting your work productivity is more than just an extra cup of coffee (although that doesn't hurt!). You might just need a coat of paint! Most of us either have a home office, or we created a designated space for work in our homes. Working from home has become a new normal, so many have put more effort into creating a stylish, unique, productive space.

When it comes to creating a conducive workspace or home office, the paint color on the walls plays a major role. 

At Brush & Roll Painting in Omaha, NE, we know just how important the right color is. This is why we offer a color consultation included in our services, so our customers can be confident they will love the results.

In this article, we will discuss the most common paint colors we have seen in home offices, that just so happen to also be colors that boost productivity. By reading this article, you may be one step closer to finding the perfect shade to paint your home office walls.

 

1. Dark Green Office Paint

Dark green is a versatile and timeless choice for your home office walls. The deep, rich hue creates a sense of tranquility and connection to nature, making it the perfect backdrop for a productive work environment.

Pairing dark green with neutral tones like beige or white can elevate the space, adding a touch of sophistication while maintaining a calming atmosphere. Whether you're looking to add a pop of color or create a cozy retreat within your home, dark green paint is sure to inspire creativity and focus in your workspace.

 

2. Dark Blue Office Paint

If you're aiming to infuse your Omaha, Nebraska home office with a touch of luxury and sophistication, consider a navy blue paint. These rich and glossy hues not only exude positivity and confidence but also evoke a sense of serenity, creating an environment conducive to productivity and focus.

Blue can be a bit too much on all four walls, so an accent wall is just the right amount. Dark blue shades offer a timeless and stylish solution that is sure to elevate the ambiance of your home office.

3. Greige Office Paint

Greige is a rather sophisticated, relatively new color trend that combines beige and grey. It creates a warm ambiance while lending your home office a more modern look than the traditional beige. Greige is also quite easy to work with.

Yellow is a great shade for productivity, but can be a little too overwhelming and bold for an office space, so greige is the next best option.

You can pair greige with pretty much anything, and it won’t look out of place whether you want to create a modern, minimalist, or chic ambiance. Being a versatile earthy neutral, you can completely re-decorate your office in a year without the need to change the paint.

4. Gray Office Paint

Grays have surged in popularity in recent years as a go-to choice for interior paint colors, and it's not hard to see why. This versatile shade effortlessly creates a modern, natural ambiance that pairs seamlessly with a wide range of colors and wood grains. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, gray also has a knack for evoking emotions of reliability, intelligence, and organization – all qualities that are highly sought after in a home office setting where productivity is key. So, if you're looking to infuse your workspace with a sense of sophistication and focus, consider incorporating a stylish shade of gray into your office decor palette.

 

5. Off-White Office Paint

If you want the simplicity of white walls without the starkness of white, try a creamy off-white paint shade like Swiss Coffee by Benjamin Moore. It's warmer than white and extremely versatile. Homeowners and professionals love working with off-white to create a dynamic yet tranquil space.

 

6. White Office Paint

Ethereal white is certainly relaxing and can take on just about any interior design style. White walls allow you to get creative with additional decor and unique furniture, or have a minimalist workspace that lets your mind get inspired. Shades of white also help boost concentration, so you can focus on the work in front of you.

We also love that white paint will instantly make your space appear larger so if you have a small home office or a shared space, white will reflect light and make your ceilings look higher.

 

7. Light Blue Office Paint

Light blue is a versatile and calming choice for your home office walls. This soft hue evokes a sense of tranquility and serenity, perfect for creating a peaceful and inspiring work environment. Whether you prefer a coastal, farmhouse, modern, transitional, minimalist, or any other interior design style, light blue effortlessly blends in and adds a touch of color without being too overpowering.

Incorporating light blue into your home office decor can help you focus, feel relaxed, and stay inspired throughout your workday. Its soothing properties make it an ideal option for those who enjoy a pop of color in their space without it being too bold. Embracing light blue in your home office design can enhance productivity and creativity while maintaining a sense of balance and harmony in your work environment.
