People
tend to splash a lot of colour in their homes but offices are kept on a subdued
note. Or they may go to the other
extreme and make the office a garish profusion of childlike colouring. Workplace colors should be refined and subtly
introduced. Different vibes belong to
different colours. Red, yellow, orange
and brown have a warm aura while colours such as blue, green, pink and violet
have a pacifying effect. The area,
function and size of the space should decide the shades selected for the office.
Wall
paints, furniture, laminations and furnishings are the canvas on which the
colour effect may be created. Neutral
hues such as beige, grey, black and cream are most commonly chosen. A combination of grey and blue goes well for
a balanced effect but experimenting a little with different shades may lend
your office a unique look.
Different
areas in the office should be demarcated according to their use, such as the
reception, lobby area, lounge, cubicles, pantry, private cabins and the
boardroom. The entire ambience of the
workplace can be transformed through a judicious choice of cheering shades.
When
somebody first visits your office the first impression they will get will be
from the reception area. Sunshine yellow
is an enlivening color for the background of this space and the company logo
and name plaque can be displayed on the wall behind the front desk. If yellow is present, a tinge of orange will
give a vibrant look. A fresh feel is
imparted by a mix of yellow and orange.
Red
combined with grey or beige may deepen the aura although alone it may have a
disturbing effect. The reception area
should not be done up in white or it will result in a lifeless appearance. If white must be used at least one bright
colour should be added on it to make it lively. The walls and floor could be embellished with bright objects.
Most
of the employees spend their time in cubicles, so this place needs to be
decorated in tranquil shades. Bright blue, maroon, magenta or purple combined
with cream, grey or white will exude a positive glow. The place will gain openness and
spaciousness. If it is a vast, extensive
area you should have colour coding with sectioning to have an appealing
effect. Three shades of the same colour
or two cool colours and a single matching warm colour will lighten up the
atmosphere.
For
the private cabin, a sober colour, touched by bright green or navy blue in an
accessory or wall frame will reduce some of the monotony. A
board room in white with luxury chairs in rosewood or cherry color will give an
opulent yet subtle look. Red upholstery
will match well with this. The
colour gold used in brass planters, gold-plated chair backs and gold rimmed
wall frames will add a regal touch to the board room.
As
long as the element of 'serious business' is maintained, colours can be
utilized to give energy to the workspace. Employees
will be enthused to perform at their highest level of creativity and a gentle
yet motivational appeal will be imparted to the office décor.
