The idea that colors have a dramatic impact on our lives has been around for a long time. Color is what makes the spaces, people and objects around us unique and different. It can change our mood whether it stimulates and energizes you, or calms and soothes you. Color is a big deal. Choosing the color you put on the walls in your business or office space is something you should really think about. L.W. Winslow Painting, Inc is here to help you in making your paint decisions.

Why Do You Need to Consider the Type of Lighting Used in a Room when Choosing Paint Colors?

Lighting can really change the way paint looks on your walls. For instance, if you have Incandescent bulbs they will give off a warmer glow that natural lighting or fluorescent bulbs will. You will want to look at paint samples during different times of day, taking into consideration what times you will be using the space. Most of the time you can get a small sample of the paint you are considering and put them on the wall so you can see what they will actually look like rather than using a paint chip.

What Paint Color Makes You More Artistic & Less Stressed?

What type of business is the office space for? If you are looking for your employees to be more artistic and passionate then you might want to choose a warmer palette and more dramatic colors. If the work done in this space is stressful and high strung, you may want to use cooler calming colors such as light greens and blues. The colors on your walls are going to have an effect on your employees so think about what kind of energy you are wanting to create.

Choose a Few Paint Colors that Work Well Together

At times it may sound fun to throw caution to the wind when it comes to choosing paint colors for an indoor space. There might be an idea that the more colors, the more interesting the space will be. You may want to incorporate the colors of your business logo in the color scheme of the office space. Keeping it Simple is a good idea a lot of the time. Choose a color scheme and stick with it. You may decide that loud pops of color might look better in the furniture and accessories rather than on the walls of your office space. Again, you have to consider the energy and overall feel you would like to space to have.

Make a Room Look Bigger or Cozier with Paint

You need to consider the literal space available in your office. Are you trying to make the space look bigger? If so, you may want to consider lighter and brighter tones on the walls. When you are trying to make a space look bigger having a white ceiling is another way to make a room look more spacious. If you have a large space that you want to feel more inviting, warmer or darker colors can have that effect.
