Work Office Wall Color Suggestion

Posted 08-11-2009 12:36 PM by wolfiesis. 9 replies.

Our company needs to paint our office walls.  They are currently an eggshell/offwhite color. 

Do you have any suggestions for a more modern color.  The installed carpet is a light brown/white color.

Thank you.

    Walls colors are especially important in works spaces because of the amount of time that people spend at work.

    Send me some photos of the offic, photos of the carpet (the brand and color would be helpful too, if it's new), and I'd be happy to help you choose some colors.

    I hope the pictures came through ok.  This is our front entranceway.  We have a lighthouse theme for our company that we are using.  To the left of this hall it opens up to a huge room with several cubicals with material walls that are a light beige.  I am sorry I cannot be of any more assistance.

     The photos didn't come through. Can you try again?

     It worked! Not knowing what the beige wall around the corner looks like I'll have to just specify based on the photos and carpet.

    I recommend a fairly color along the picture wall (and maybe all the way around the cornder too) to brighten up your artwork. Use medium to light neutrals everywhere else to keep an easy transition from the halls to white offices. Regardless of your color choices, people work best in soft, slightly muddy colors that are easy on the eyes. Green is a great concentration color with a calming but productive overtone. Blue is a soothing color too, but should be used carefully in an office area to avoid making people feel lethargic. Either way, the key to this hallway is to emphasize the artwork and complement the lighthouse theme while keeping the overall space warm and neutral.

    Here are my suggestions:

    Picture wall- Sherwin Williams 7748 Green Earth OR 7624 Slate Tile

    All other walls- 7738 Cargo Pants

    If you need colors for any other areas, let me know. And let me know how it turns out!

    Thank you Shannon,

     It is so very nice to get an expert's opinion.  I will have to look into those colors.

    I do appreciate your help.

     I'm happy to help. Send me pictures of brush outs, if you'd like, before you paint. And any other pictures of the areas where you'll be painting.

     Otherwise, all my best in completing your project!

    I hope you love it when it's done.

    Shannon
