Repainting your home office can transform your workspace for the better, making it infinitely more conducive to productivity and creativity. Whether it’s a space for working from home, studying for classes, or kicking back and enjoying an epic entertainment system, it’s incredible what a coat of paint and organized design scheme can do for these spaces. Here are a few tips that you should keep in mind as you start navigating this painting process, to ensure that you set up a space that makes you happy and allows you to get great work done!

1. Paint Your Cabinets – Always

Cabinets painted in an unexpected color can work wonders for a home office space – and the right color can do a lot to help boost productivity and creativity alike. Mint green fits the bill here; it’s a cool color that’s great for instilling focus. Navy is another calming color that can achieve a similar effect. You have almost endless options here, as it depends on your preferences. If your home office doesn’t have many cabinets, you might consider painting your shelves or desk for that tasteful pop of color.

2. Natural Tones Work Exceptionally Well

There’s just something undeniably pleasant about being surrounded by nature – and certain paint tones can emulate this positive outdoorsy atmosphere quite well! Consider options like dark brown, mahogany, mocha, and other similar tones; contrasting lighter shades can work well too here. You can easily pair this with your desk chair, bookshelf, or other office accessories to complete the space and establish a warm, inviting atmosphere. Take a step further and match or complement it with your hardwood floors. If your office has a window, this scheme will look and feel exceptional!

3. Use White Walls as a Backdrop

White is a crisp, clean color that’s been used in interior design for centuries, and it can provide the perfect backdrop for any kind of theme, décor, houseplants, or artwork that you want to display in your home office. If classic white is too stark for your taste, you’ve got several other off-white options worth considering; cream and beige are two particularly trendy and versatile options. Shades of gray can also achieve similar effects with all kinds of vibrant, bright colors.  

Above all else, you should paint your home office using a color scheme that’ll help you work, build, create, or play in comfort and style. And for additional help, suggestions, or assurance that the job will be done correctly, trust a professional team.
