Have you ever thought about the colour schemes in your workspace? Did you know that certain colours are significant in helping to motivate and increase the productivity of people? Spaceway has compiled a quick list of what certain colours can do to help staff feel good about their space….
Blue
Blue is recognised as an excellent colour to support productivity. It’s a calming and stable colour that helps people focus on things and get their work done. A combination of blues around the office will help to break up a single use of the primary blue. Using different shades will help create an interesting space to keep people on top of the tasks at hand.
Yellow
If you are looking for a colour that helps creativity, then you can’t go too wrong with yellow, it is known as an optimistic colour and really can stimulate those creative buds in people. The obvious use is in designer and marketing offices where people must think of new ideas on a regular basis.
Green
When you know you have staff that will be working long hours, then green is the way forward, maybe it’s the link to nature, but green is easy on the eyes, helps stop fatigue and will keep people calm and importantly keep them on task and efficient. The use of different shades and perhaps using the colours in furniture and office foliage can be a good way to bring in the greens naturally.
Red
If you have an office full of budding athletes or tasks that involve physical activities, then red is the colour to use. It has been shown to increase the heart rate, blood flow and invoke emotion and passion. It is a good colour for meeting rooms where people need to be on the ball.
There are many colour combinations and tones that can create different moods and it’s worth considering them when it comes to workspace design.
