I’ve paired this wall color with black accents, a black desk, and some black and tan upholstery to create a super graphic, masculine space. I’ve also used the same color and mixed it with lots of pretty reds and blues to create a more feminine space. It’s a neutral, but a neutral with personality!” —Eric Hughes

10 Beautiful Home Office Paint Color Ideas for Better Productivity

Nikki Le

A great home office can make the difference between a long, exhausting day at work and a productive one. A well-designed and purposeful home office can have a significant effect on your mood, your productivity, and your energy level every day. But let's be honest—your home office is probably not the first space in your home you decorated. That's why now is the time to spend a little more effort to design the perfect space.

Here, we've rounded up some of the best designer-approved paint colors for your home office. From bold to neutral, read on to inspire your work life makeover.

Rebecca Rollins Interiors, LLC

If you've never considered decorating with black paint, your office space is a great place to start. Sherwin-Williams' Iron Ore is rich, dark grey charcoal paint that provides a moody, calm tone for your office.

This is a great choice for smaller rooms. According to designer Becky Shea, a rich graphite-like this one can "somehow always makes a space feel much larger than it is."

Cathie Hong

If you want a crisp white with a warm undertone to add a bit of softness to your space, Vanilla Milkshake is a great choice. It's a milky white that works wonderfully as an all-over paint color or when used in built-in units to brighten up a space.

When picking an office paint color, Shea says to focus on a hue that makes you feel calm and happy. "We spend a big chunk of our day working. And if we're going to be working from home—which blurs the line of boundary—we always ask what colors make someone feel most calm," she says.

Svenja Bruecker / Seventeen and Five

Anna Kroesser of Kroesser + Strat is all about Farrow & Ball's Treron, calling it "the perfect green. " Green is the color of energy and renewal, and it's a wonderfully calming (yet powerful) color to try in your office. Try it as an all-over color or when refinishing a desk or a bookshelf.

Hannah Tyler Designs

Few paint colors have as much of a designer cult following as Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace. Kroesser says this white is a true neutral white that works in any office.

"If you first walk into a space you might think it’s decorator’s white or super white. But up against something that is a true bright white, it takes on this ever-so-slightly grey tone," she says. "If you want your space to feel a bit more zen, this is the perfect color for that."

Blue Orchid Living

Behr Japanese Koi is a color that sparks a lot of energy in a room where you may need it when 3:00 hits. This bold orange hue is perfect for an accent wall behind your desk or bookshelves in an otherwise neutral room, or when sharing your home office space with another room.

"If you're looking for a way to delineate space within a room that functions for two uses (such as a guest room/office), consider painting an accent wall [in order to] add color and create interest in a room with a dual function," suggests Michelle Zacks.

New Home Charm

Don't be afraid of beige. Clare Beigeing is a modern take on beige that adds warmth to your office without making the space feel dark or smaller.

Optimizing for light is important, says Zacks. "Consider the natural light that the space receives and how the paint selection plays off of that," she says. "Test the actual paint color on the wall whenever possible."

Mel Boban

Behr Forest Path evokes the feeling of renewal and nature, which is perfect for those days when you're stuck inside until it's dark out. This color is great on its own, but we also love it paired with pinks or light oranges. According to Zacks, a green such as this one can feel "cozy and traditional, or a bit quirky, depending on the other choices for the room. "

For an office that exudes elegance, consider going with a deep navy hue. "Benjamin Moore's Gentleman's Gray is perfect in this bold, feminine home office," says Christina Kim, of Christina Kim Interior Design. "Rich saturated colors look great on built-ins and make the room feel polished."

Whether you're short on natural light or you crave a bright space, white paint is a no-brainer. Kim loves using white in smaller office spaces. "Simply White by Benjamin Moore looks clean and bright in spaces where you're carving an office out of a closet or alcove," she says.

KJ Design & Mortar Styling

Torn between a neutral and a more saturated color? A choice like Filmy Green adds a hint of color without overwhelming the space. According to Janelle Hughes and Kim R. Williams, co-owners of KJ Design & Mortar Styling, Filmy Green "creates a calming effect, which is critical in a working space." They paired this delightful shade with rich emerald velvet curtains to finish the look.

Choice of paint color in a dark and light room. LRV light reflectance

How to choose a color according to the light in the room and the light reflectance of the paint

Have you ever had to deal with the fact that after painting the walls look lighter or darker than you planned? In order not to make such mistakes in the future, it is necessary to take into account such an important parameter as the Paint Light Reflection Index (LRV).

Responsible paintwork manufacturers place this value next to the number (name) of the color. For example, Sherwin Williams SW 6106 Kilim Beige has LRV 57. What does this mean? Let's figure it out. nine0003

LRV (Light Reflectance Value) The Light Reflectance Value* is indicated as a percentage and indicates the amount of visible light that a surface painted with paint of a given shade will reflect.

This value is scaled from 0 to 100%, where 0% is pure black and 100% is pure white.

The higher the LRV number, the lighter the color; the smaller this number, the darker it is.
But how light or dark a color will always depend on the amount of light falling on the surface. nine0003

After all, any color, regardless of the LRV value, will look lighter in bright natural or artificial light. Conversely, the less light in the room, the less it can reflect the paint layer.

So even if you choose a light color with a high LRV, but there is not enough light, you will not get the right result. And this is understandable, because the paint only reflects light, and does not emit it itself.

Sometimes people choose a light paint color thinking its high LRV will save their dark room. Yes, of course, the room will look lighter than if it were painted dark, but for the color to really work, it needs light! nine0003

Table of Contents

Rough Correspondence between LRV Values ​​and Lightness of Colors

The following ranges are approximate values ​​to help give you an idea of ​​how light or dark a paint color with a particular Light Reflection Value (LRV) is perceived. Numbers are rounded and intervals are approximate.

0-10 - Dark

10-20 - Medium-dark

20-40 - Medium

40-55 - Medium-light

55-75 - Light

75-82 - Almost white

82 and more means - White

Let's look at different ranges with some examples

Dark and medium dark (from 0 to 20)

SW 7076 Cyberspace has a very low LRV of 6. In a well-lit room this color will look advantageous because it shows up in bright light. its shade and it remains quite saturated and light. However, in a dimly lit room, it will turn almost black, losing much of the color saturation. nine0003

Compare the color of the wall on the left and right side of the photo.

So dark colors definitely need very good lighting to reveal their individuality. In low light, they will lose their hue and appear the same, almost black.

Medium to medium light (from 20 to 55)

This is a fairly wide range, let's look at it in more detail.

Sherwin Williams SW 7017 Dorian Gray is a very popular medium tone gray paint. She has LRV 39and already somehow manifests itself as a reflective surface, but only under intense lighting. If the light from the window or lamps is weak, then this shade may appear dark and look heavy.

In the photo above, pay attention to the upper part of the walls. Where natural light hits the surface, it looks lighter because the paint layer reflects some of that light, but the color doesn't lose saturation completely. However, if the walls were painted a shade with a higher LRV, the color would almost completely disappear in that spot. nine0003

Mid-tone paints withstand very bright light well, and do not break out into a completely colorless-pale due to their low Light Reflectance.

In the next photo, Sherwin Williams SW 6226 Languid Blue (LRV 46) does well because there is good natural light in the room, confirming that medium tones do not necessarily look dark if there is sufficient light. This shade is also a good example of how a color can look good in lower light, as it has a fairly high saturation. nine0003

Colors in the middle of the LRV range already reflect quite a lot, but not too much light. However, be aware that while these colors may appear darker in small areas, they may appear lighter in large areas (such as an entire wall) with the same amount of light.

Also keep in mind that light changes throughout the day, so keep a close eye on how the paint looks on all walls with different light intensities and positions. nine0003

In a poorly lit room, colors with medium Light Reflectance values ​​may look dull and dull, especially neutral, low saturation hues.

Paint colors with an LRV value greater than 50 really start to reflect light well, filling the room with it. And the closer the value is to 100, the more noticeable this effect.

In a poorly lit room paint colors with reflectivity LRV 50 or higher can do the trick, but don't expect too much. In this situation, it is better to use slightly more saturated colors, even if you like the popular neutrals. nine0003

As we can see, lighting matters as much as paint color. More precisely, they do not exist without each other. (To learn how to distinguish good LED lamps from bad ones, read the guide Lighting quality in the interior. Choosing the best lamps).

Light, off-white and white (55+)

All the colors in the following range are capable of reflecting quite a lot of light and thus light up your room.

If you have a well-lit room and in addition use colors with a Light Reflection Value (LRV) of more than 60 on the walls, you will definitely get a very bright room, since there is both light and surfaces that can reflect it. nine0003

Example with three lighting levels

In the next photo we see a room with different walls painted in the same color - SW 9136 Lullaby (LRV 65). Looking from left to right, you'll see three noticeable shifts in brightness as different walls receive different amounts of light and appear darker or lighter accordingly.

Left side

Due to the large amount of light hitting the left wall, color SW 9136 Lullaby with a Light Reflectance of 65 effectively reflects light, making it more like a bright “almost white” (in our terminology).

Center (book wall)

This wall receives an average amount of natural light, and here SW 9136 Lullaby is more similar in brightness to the color we see in the palette.

Right side

This is the other extreme - the wall is almost without lighting.

This example confirms what was said earlier - it is very important to look at paint samples under all light sources and on all walls. nine0003

A room without sufficient natural or artificial light

If you have a dark room, it means that there is little light from external or internal sources. So even if you choose a light paint color with a high LRV, the lack of light will still affect how light that color will be.

A light color in a bright room will appear lighter than the same light color in a dark room, as there is more light in a bright room to reflect off the ink layer. nine0003

Light paint is a good choice for a dark room if you want to lighten it up, but that alone won't save the day, as light is also needed to make the paint color come alive and work.

The next photo shows a room painted with a fairly light paint with an LRV Light Reflectance of 55. Notice how the lack of natural or artificial light "darks" the color.

Whereas in the next example the bedroom (painted in the same color as the photo above) has a decent amount of natural light on the left, causing the paint tone to become lighter and the room to look brighter. On the wall to the right (where the bathroom door is) there isn't much natural light anymore, and we notice that the same paint looks darker. nine0003

Take a look at the photo below, which uses a warm gray Sherwin Williams SW 7028 Incredible White. At LRV 74, it will reflect a significant amount of light, thus brightening and filling the interior with light. Notice how it "bumps out" into the sharp white on the left side of the photo when exposed to direct light, and how it softens as it takes on depth on the wall near the vase of flowers.

The next photo shows the SW 9165 Gossamer Veil with LRV 62. This reflectance means the surface will do a good job of bouncing light back onto it, making a normal, moderately lit room look moderately bright. However, even with a not-so-great LRV value of 62, the color can still be actively "washed out" in bright direct light. As an example, look at the photo below to see the striking difference in tone on the right and left. nine0003

The very popular color from Sherwin Williams SW 7015 Repose Gray, which we see in the example below, has an LRV of 58, so it is even a little darker. If your room has moderate lighting (whether natural or artificial) this is a good choice for most rooms. If your room is not too light, then you can look for a color with a higher LRV (62+) or even a more saturated shade, which, as we have already said, will be more appropriate in these conditions. nine0003

Paints with a very high Light Reflectance Index are capable of reflecting a lot of light (especially in the range above 70). But again, only if they are well illuminated, otherwise they will have nothing to reflect.

High LRV paints may appear lighter in large areas than in small areas. Accordingly, on the wall with sufficient light, the color may appear lighter than on the sample (color fan).

In a well-lit room with direct light, a high LRV color may turn completely white, but will look different at other times of the day, so you need to pay attention to this. nine0003

In a poorly lit room, some light colors can be perceived as rather dull and dull. This can be corrected by using more saturated shades, although it will require some effort.

as the color of the walls of your office affects the desire to work

Here, scientists have found out that if you are like you as if you are like it as it is like it something doesn’t work well in the office, it’s quite possible that the walls are to blame. Or rather their color. So rather read what is there with your office: it will help you in your work or, conversely, drive you into a severe depression.

Studies have shown that 17% of office workers are more likely to contemplate the walls drying with fresh paint than going to a meeting. And the truth is, no one needs meetings in such a number. Half can be safely cancelled. As for the paint - this is quite an idea - instead of a couple of meetings, you can take and repaint the office. After all, the walls of your office are much more important than some kind of meeting there? In fact, what is the use of the meeting? An extra half hour of sleep? And the color of the office walls, as it turned out, will affect productivity and your desire to work for many years. So gather your strength and colors - and run to paint the office. Well, or if you are too lazy - just take this text to the boss, let him be impressed too and hire specially trained people for this business. And of course, you can relax at home for a couple of days while your office is being painted. nine0003

Gray and other neutral colors

Written by Global Look Press

The tradition of painting offices in neutral (feel free to read as dull) colors was born by itself, well, apparently, so as not to irritate the eye once again. Gray, white, beige - a considerable number of cabinets around the world are painted in these calm colors. And gray suits are also prescribed by a mass of strict office dress codes. And now, attention, surprise! Gray completely demotivates, makes employees passive. And beige and white make employees, and especially employees, feel sad and depressed. As for male employees, orange and purple, which are far from neutral, also have a similar effect on them. In general, you understand what paint should be left in the store. nine0003

Yellow

Author: Global Look Press

At this point, scientists were a little torn apart by the conclusions made. Some say yellow is cool. Everyone will look at him, enjoy life and be creative to the fullest. Others argue that it cannot be worse, your eyes will get tired of yellow even before you start work, and it will be impossible to concentrate at all. Well, they can continue to argue, but it seems to us that everything is quite obvious: if you plan to be creative and produce new ideas - paint the walls yellow, if you are going to focus and concentrate - do not paint! nine0003

Green

By Global Look Press

An office painted green is the dream of any workaholic or someone who is forced by their boss to sit in the office for days. This color does not tire the eyes, and, in fact, it does not tire you either. But it calms and helps to focus. Also very good for reading. So if you have to pore over documents written in small print for a long time, green will help you control yourself, not get mad from monotonous work and not lose concentration. Look at how the guy in the picture is shining, for sure it's all because of the green walls, or he just liked the blonde, or he is now told on the phone that his bonus this month will be a couple of million dollars. But, most likely, it's still because of the green! nine0003

Blue

Written by Global Look Press

In the ranking of the most successful colors for the office, blue confidently shares the first place with green. It helps not to lose concentration and, like green, does not tire. For everyone who has to work with numbers or small details, this is exactly what you need. The main thing is not to confuse it with blue (this is the darker one) or gray (this is the color of an office suit, from which everyone will become depressed).

Brown

Written by Global Look Press

Oddly enough, brown didn't make it into the dull group with its fellow gray. On the contrary, scientists believe that this color can create a feeling of safety and security. So if you sell insurance, for example, or the services of a security company, then brown will help convince customers that everything will be fine with you.

Red

Written by Global Look Press

It would seem like you have to go crazy to paint your office red. No, it really did. Red can also help creatives. It enhances emotionality and expressiveness, almost like yellow promotes creative activity, and generally invigorates. The latter, by the way, can also help those whose work is associated with physical labor. True, along with cheerfulness, red also increases hostility, so perhaps do not paint the negotiation room in this color. And also know - if you decide to paint open space with red - everyone will constantly nibble something in it, red stimulates the appetite.
