The Importance of Colour in New Offices

The keys to understanding colour and creating comfortable, creative spaces that care for every user and keep them motivated

Colour takes centre stage!

How colour influences the office

For centuries, people have studied how colours affect emotions. Psychologists, artists and designers use colour to create sensations and emotions, even influencing mental, physical and emotional health — especially when we spend long hours in an enclosed space.

Office design trends for 2023 emphasise the importance of choosing colours carefully, as they can help employees concentrate, collaborate, create, learn and more. This is very important for new hybrid work environments. Incorporating colour into the design is essential to create immersive workspaces that foster employee well-being.

Companies should use colours that make people feel good, calm them and stimulate their creativity — which can improve their mood.

The specific colour and style will depend on the company's brand and goals. Some may want bright, bold colours, while others prefer a calmer, cosier look. Colours don't just affect our emotions — they also help establish a brand identity for the company.
