15 Perfect Office Paint Colors
1
Inkwell by Sherwin-Williams
“Dark colors in smaller spaces can pack a punch and make a huge impact just through tone and depth of paint. In this case, we created a focal point by using Inkwell, a really dark but neutral paint color. The art and other details make for a contrast that is more noticeable than if they were hung on lighter walls.” —Zandy Gammons, Miretta Interiors

White Sail by Sherwin-Williams
“Choose paint colors that maximize and reflect any natural light you have in your home office space. Natural light energizes your body and mind! Try paint in beautiful whites and soft neutrals that seem to glow throughout the day as the light changes. If you want a bolder pop of color, layer in hints of calm blues and greens that reflect nature and bring the outside indoors!” —Phillip Thomas

Van Deusen Blue by Benjamin Moore
“My home was built in 1915 and had a classic pent room, which I converted to my home office and sanctuary, as I call it. I chose a deep, saturated blue from Benjamin Moore when designing this space. I recently read that the blue spectrum of light activates and awakens our brains, making this a perfect color for an office space.” —Kendall Wilkinson

Dead Salmon by Farrow & Ball
“We are loving Dead Salmon by Farrow & Ball for home offices. The rich shade provides a warm and cozy vibe for the space you spend many hours in each day. It also provides a beautiful shade as a background for most skin tones—and with all the Zoom meetings, that is important!” —Kristen Peña, K Interiors

Butter Up by Sherwin-Williams
“When I designed my own home office, I wanted a color that would be happy and create warmth to inspire me as a designer, as well as delight my clients when I do Zoom meetings with them. Sherwin-Williams’s Butter Up is a great yellow that is bright and cheerful, yet not overwhelming. I find it acts like a neutral, so I can add elements of other colors in the space with window treatments, upholstery on furniture, pillows, and decor elements as it goes with everything.
” —Grey Joyner

Delft by Sherwin-Williams

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, LLCIf 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.

Cramped, uncomfortable offices are inevitably bad for business.
They affect employee morale, reduce productivity, and don't do any good for your reputation.
If you don't have the funds to move to a larger space, the good news is that renovating a small office provides many ways to transform your space.
Grow your brand with our top 8 small office design ideas.
Communal Desks
Perhaps the biggest benefit of a communal desk is that you fit a significant number of employees into a small space. Conversely, a separate desk for each employee takes up more space and costs more. nine0003
The attractiveness of the common table is that it is suitable for open-plan offices. For a number of reasons, the open plan style is still one of the most popular office spaces. Creative companies, for example, seek to create an environment where employees sit in close proximity to each other and share ideas.
Shared desks also create an egalitarian spirit, with management sitting next to employees rather than locking themselves in separate rooms.
nine0003
Coffeepoint
If you don't have the space or budget to set up a café in your small office, then Coffeepoint is a practical alternative. They are compact, stylish and good for lifting the mood of employees.
You can plan your coffee area to include seating. These are ideal conditions for special meetings, dinners or quiet work.
Professional space planning
Consulting with an office design company to maximize your space is the best approach. nine0003
An experienced design team takes into account how many people use the space and optimizes it for comfort and productivity.
From furniture arrangement to stylistic elements, the right design can take your business to the next level.
Acoustic furniture
Distracting noise becomes a real thorn in busy employees. Although large offices include “quiet zones” in their interiors, this is not so easy if your space is small. nine0003
Acoustic chairs can be the perfect solution.
Not only do they fit in tight spaces, they are also specially designed for quiet operation. The chair creates a cocoon around the person and blocks sound with acoustic panels built into the inside. The capsule can be equipped with speakers to listen to relaxing sounds.
Single chairs are not the only option. Large cabins are available that are great for collaboration.
Storage systems
Built-in cabinets and shelving are an alternative to bulky stand-alone units and are a great way to maximize space in small offices. Due to the fact that office storage systems are designed according to individual dimensions for office interior elements, you can save up to 30% of the area.
Office furniture is extremely practical and gives a modern look to your office. Depending on the needs, systems can include everything from office and folder storage to air conditioning installation. nine0003
Wireless technology
The fewer desktop PCs, the more free space.
In terms of space planning, wireless technology is very practical.
Technology continues to evolve and we are seeing a surge in the number of offices moving to a wireless environment. For example, in a smart office, employees change their way of working by switching between iPads, laptops, and mobile phones.
But this is not a reason to completely abandon the PC. The other side of the smart office is integrated technology, thanks to which the system unit can be built into desks. This gives it a streamlined look and hides those pesky wires. nine0003
Glass Partitions
Refurbishment is the perfect opportunity to bring more natural light into the office. According to neurological research, workplaces with good daylight increase productivity and sales by 3-40%. The study also found that daylight is the most sought after natural element in workplace design.
Glass partitions add more sunlight and also give more depth to a small office space. Partitions made of glass can achieve a sense of division into departments, which is preferred by many enterprises.
