Home Office Paint Colors – Forbes Home

There are many perks of working from a home office, but there are just as many distractions, too.

Staying on top of work starts with having a home office that’s conducive to success. Before picking out staples like desktop organizers or sourcing a suave desk, you need to start with the biggest foundation of all: the perfect office paint color.

How to Pick a Home Office Paint Color

The best part of having your office in your home is that you call the shots on how its designed and decorated. With this freedom comes the pain of choice overload, but for a workspace specifically, productivity is probably your biggest priority. You want your space to help you stay focused and calm rather than erratic when you’re working through your task list. The best way to ensure a great color is by picking out shades you gravitate towards and thoroughly swatching.

Productivity and Color Psychology

In fact, it’s been proven that the colors surrounding your workspace can directly impact your productivity, so why wouldn’t it be the same for a home office? Every paint color tends to evoke certain moods, and combined with other interior elements, the shade you pick can influence your emotions while you work. There’s no right or wrong color palette—it’s a very personal decision. But, favorites tend to be blues, greens and neutrals. Even more playful colors have seen an uptick in popularity, like pinks and reds.

The Best Home Office Paint Colors

Jumpstart your productivity and make your home office a place you actually enjoy spending time in with these 10 colors.

1. Light Sage

This mossy tone is elevated and relaxed, making it a great fit for a home office space. Green shades like this mixed with wood accents can lead to a workspace that feels more grounded and promote a touch more relaxation—even if work gets busy.

Shades to try: Behr Aloe Thorn, Magnolia Eden, Benjamin Moore Lichen Stone

2. Plum Purple

Purple tends to be a rare sighting in home interiors. Maybe the deep, saturated tone feels a little intimidating to incorporate, but as this home office shows it’s worth taking a chance on. With the right shade, purple can be a sophisticated color that frames any desk and never allows a workspace to feel blah.

Shades to try: Sherwin-Williams Mature Grape, Backdrop Lobby Scene, Magnolia Plum Suede

3. Light Blue

Blue is a unique color choice in that it can be both serene and energetic. With matching decor and furniture, a home office becomes a productivity powerhouse (and in the case of this one, a space that’s homey, too). It’s also a reliable classic paint color that’s lasted through decades of trends. Blue will never go out of style, and it’s a tough color to ever get sick of.

4. Pale Gray

Not bright white nor is it dark or ultra colorful, pale gray is an ideal neutral hue. It’s a safe selection for a space that’s constantly evolving or if you’re one to experiment with different accent colors and decorative objects. Because of its gentle disposition, it’s hard to feel distracted by the color pale gray, which is a non-negotiable feature in a home office.

5. Navy Blue

For a powerful color that’s undoubtedly fitting for your at-home cubicle, look to the deep blue paint chips. Grounding, bold and thoughtful—these are all things navy blue shades encompass. They happen to be pretty fantastic backdrops for most styles, too, whether you want a rustic wooden desk, a sleek mid-century modern table or leather chairs.

Shades to try: Behr Compass Blue, Benjamin Moore Stunning, Magnolia Together

6. Olive Green

Sage borders the line of grayish neutrals, but if you’re after a little more color in your office an olive green might fit the bill. It can look regal when paired with antique style furniture and cream accents, but it’s also a playful shade that works in more free-flowing creative office spaces. The slightly muted tone keeps it from straying into a color that’s a bit too vibrant.

Shades to try: Clare Daily Greens, Valspar Organic Garden, Behr Secret Meadow

7. White

Drawing a blank for a good paint color? Maybe a blank canvas is exactly what you need. White is a fail-proof hue that stays true to its timelessness, plus so many hues work with white. You can incorporate any kind of style, accent colors, decor or furniture, and it will always look fantastic no matter what room it’s in. This also holds true for your home office.

Shades to try: Farrow & Ball Strong White, Magnolia Shiplap, Kilz White Wing

8. Dusty Pink

If neutrals are slightly too blasé for your tastes, but you’re not in love with electric orange either, a dusty pink or mauve is a nice in between. It’s ever-so-slightly more energizing than a beige, but it can’t be interpreted as too loud or obnoxious. While pink is colorful on it’s own, this office proves that other bright colors can contrast nicely against it without clashing.

Shades to try: Backdrop Studio Hours, Sherwin-Williams Breathless, Behr Rose Pottery

9. Teal

Can’t decide between light and dark blue? Teal is calling your name. It’s a solid solution for a home office that needs a hearty wash of color that’s a little more fun than neutrals (sorry, beige). With the Coastal Grandmother trend doing its rounds, it’s a fitting choice and one that’ll last no matter how long this style sticks around. It’s a flexible hue, and the right decor and textures can make it lean more Scandinavian, contemporary, beachy or modern.

Shades to try: Graham & Brown Sephal, PPG Hazy Seacliff Teal, Valspar Flood Tide

10. Rose Pink

Rose is another great pink option that’s not as whimsical as Millennial Pink or as vivid as fuchsia is rose. The darker tone is sophisticated and creative at the same time. While bright red is fiery and certainly brings energy into whichever room its painted, a deeper pink can do just the same but is slightly less jarring.

Shades to try: Benjamin Moore Wildflower, Magnolia Home at Last, Farrow & Ball Radicchio

Learn more about this product

Our company offers office paints that meet regulatory requirements with a full package of accompanying documents (certificates of conformity and safety). We supply goods from warehouses in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg.

In the decoration of modern offices, paint is most often used. What kind of paint to paint the walls in the office is decided by the management, however, there are several criteria for what materials are suitable for use, since not all compositions are suitable for painting office walls.

Office paint selection criteria

Decorative paint for the office should not only match the color. The choice should be made based on several criteria.

• Easy to apply

In order to complete the office renovation as soon as possible, the paint needs to be ready for application and dry in the shortest possible time.

• Economy

A small amount of wall paint in the office will save money and allow you to create a more durable finish due to the second and third coats of paint.

• Environmental and safety

For interior decoration of residential and office premises, it is preferable to use paints without organic solvents. For example, water based. Acrylic and latex water-dispersion paints are environmentally friendly and most often fireproof with fire hazard class KM2, KM1.

• Durability and strength

An office space is a room with a high traffic and load, so office paint must be resistant to various kinds of negative influences. The resistant coating will not begin to peel off and will not lose color after a couple of months. Paint with a high level of adhesion should be a priority.

• Abrasion resistance

Any paint is subject to abrasion. They differ only in the time of resistance to abrasion. Resistant paints last for more than one year, they are able to endure contact with furniture and employees.

• Resistance to household chemicals

Office paint must withstand the necessary cleaning. Washable wall paints are resistant to cleaning with chemicals, so they are great for painting office spaces.

As for the shade, the corporate style plays the main role here. If there is no need to strictly observe it, then it is better to choose light and unobtrusive tones (matte or semi-matte), which do not create psychological discomfort during a long stay among them. Otherwise, the productivity of employees will drop sharply, which will lead to negative consequences in general.

Office paints

It has been scientifically proven that the effectiveness of a team depends not only on professionalism, cohesion and ability to work as a team, but also on the environment. Many people spend most of the day in the office, and the same type, gray, boring interiors evoke longing and sadness. That is why it is necessary to pay close attention to repair and finishing work, thinking over not only the arrangement of furniture, but also such details as lighting and color of the room.
Offices have long ceased to be just an office with standard white walls. Currently, designers are developing unique and original work interiors that reflect the corporate identity of the company, contribute to creating a positive atmosphere and simply improve mood. To decorate the space, paint is increasingly being used, fortunately, modern manufacturers offer dozens of composition options and hundreds of color schemes, among which you can always choose the most suitable one.

• Firstly, the composition must be of high quality. You should not save on it, as a really beautiful coating emphasizes the high level and status of the company.
• Secondly, office paint must be safe and environmentally friendly. An office is a place where people are on a daily basis, and they should not inhale toxic and other harmful substances that can be emitted by cheap paintwork materials of unknown brands.
• Thirdly, it is necessary that the painted surface can be washed and cleaned from dirt. The composition should be wear-resistant, easy to wet cleaning and at the same time retain all of its original performance properties.

Kabe paints are very popular in office interior design. They are economical in consumption, quickly and easily applied to the surface without leaving streaks, are hygienic and have many other advantages.

Cabet paints are suitable for painting new surfaces of walls and ceilings, as well as for renovation finishes. The color is selected according to the KABE, NCS, RAL, Symphony catalogs or according to the samples provided. Top coats for interior use: available:

1. Dispersion. They have different degrees of gloss, adhere well to the surface and are characterized by excellent hiding power, create a uniform and durable coating that is resistant to washing and abrasion
2. Dispersion silicate. They have a very high vapor permeability, provide a deep matte and at the same time abrasion-resistant coating. Before applying paint, it is not necessary to prime the surface.

IMPORTANT: Kabe is one of the leaders in the production of safe and high quality coatings. Its products fully comply with all established international quality standards.

Kabe paints are absolutely harmless to humans and the environment. All of them have hygienic certificates PZH - the international standard for the quality and safety of coatings. Painted surfaces can be washed without fear of damaging the coating: it will not crack or flake off.

In order for the paint to last for a long time, it is important to properly prepare the surface before applying it directly: the walls must be cleaned of old peeling coatings, and irregularities must be puttied. Prime porous and absorbent substrates. This will also contribute to better adhesion of the paint to the surface, its uniform application and, as a result, its economical consumption.

Paint is not only a decor, but also a certain protection for walls or ceilings. For different surfaces, it is necessary to use "your" composition, the characteristics of which are determined by its chemical and physical properties.

Modern coatings are produced on a water or alkyd basis, and when choosing a material, it is necessary to build on such basic criteria as:

• Environmental friendliness and safety;
• Resistance to mechanical damage, abrasion and washing Hiding power;
• Time required for complete drying.

Water-based paints dry in a short period of time, do not emit toxic substances, have almost no smell and form a dense protective and decorative film on the surface. The wall can be washed with soapy water. Painted surfaces have good vapor permeability, which allows them to "breathe", create and maintain a favorable indoor microclimate.

IMPORTANT: Water-based paints are the best choice for the office. They belong to the category of environmentally friendly compounds, and are recommended for use even in children's and medical institutions.

Alkyd paints are less popular. They are more suitable for those surfaces that constantly resist negative external influences. Experts do not recommend the use of these compositions for the office, as they are toxic and can ignite. When choosing paint for the office, you should also pay attention to the degree of gloss. According to this criterion, the compositions are divided into three types:

• Matte;
• Semi-gloss;
• Glossy.

Matte paints are the best option for the office. With their help, you can hide bumps and other defects in the walls, they do not form glare, which can adversely affect vision. Semi-matte paints are better to decorate walls in places with high traffic and where frequent cleaning is required. Glossy paints emphasize the defects of the base, and create a very shiny surface, which, again, will adversely affect vision, causing rapid fatigue.

An important factor is the cost-effectiveness of coverage, because the budget allocated for repairs is always strictly limited. In addition, you need to take into account that the decoration of the office must be completed as quickly as possible, so it is better to buy quick-drying paints that are completely ready for application.

IMPORTANT! Even on a tight budget, don't try to skimp on office paint. Choose compositions of only well-known and proven brands on the market. Remember that cheap paint may not be safe for people, and the resulting coating will be far from ideal.

Colors for the office are selected based on the design project. Many, following unwritten standards, prefer light pastel colors, but bright colors are also popular.
