Important Tips for Updating Workspaces

Our workspaces represent who we are as a business to visiting clients. It’s essential to send the right message with attractive, updated spaces. If your walls look worn or have peeling paint, it’s time to repaint.
Contact us if it’s time to update your office’s paint job. We have experience painting workspaces with as few business disruptions as possible while we’re there painting.
Repainting your office
A fresh coat of paint can go a long way toward updating a space. Rather than replacing all of the furniture or doing a renovation, consider whether fresh paint might be enough to update the room. It often is! We’re happy to provide some guidance.
Use Color Psychology
Using color psychology when selecting colors for a commercial space can help create workspaces that employees (and clients) will appreciate. Be sure to choose colors that are suitable for your business or industry. For example, do you want to create a calming space? If so, try a soft blue hue. If you want to boost creativity, green is the way to go. You can learn more about how to apply color psychology in a previous blog post.
Neutrals
Neutral paint colors can create an elegant, clean-feeling aesthetic. They can also be a great backdrop to pops of brighter colors added throughout your office through artwork, furniture, accent walls, or window treatments.
Bright Colors
Bright colors can create vibrancy in a room, particularly in large spaces. They can add interest to an open floor plan. Rather than paint all your walls in bright colors, which can be overwhelming, consider adding color with an accent wall.
Use Contrasting Colors
Have you ever noticed how certain spaces, like schools, have contrasting wall colors? Color contrasts are believed to increase brain activity and improve attention span. That’s why we often see color contrasts in school hallways or gathering spaces. Select opposite colors on a color wheel to select compatible but contrasting paint colors.
Writing Walls
You don’t have to buy a whiteboard or chalkboard. There are high-quality paints that will allow you to write on the wall. We can use a whiteboard or chalkboard paint to create write-on walls!

FAQ

1. What are the most important steps to prepare my workspace before painting?

Proper preparation is key to a successful workspace update. Begin by clearing out as much furniture and equipment as possible, and cover any items that can’t be moved with plastic sheeting or tarps. Remove all wall décor and accessories, and give the walls a light cleaning with mild detergent to help the new paint adhere better. This preparation ensures a smoother, more professional finish and minimizes disruption during the painting process.

2. How do I choose the best paint colors for a productive workspace?

Selecting the right paint colors can significantly impact mood and productivity. Calming colors like blue and green are great for focus, while yellow and orange can energize and stimulate creativity. Neutral tones such as beige or light gray provide a classic look that pairs well with various décor styles and helps reduce visual distractions. Consider your work type and desired atmosphere when making your selection.

3. What type of paint finish is recommended for workspaces?

For most workspaces, satin or eggshell finishes are ideal. These finishes are easy to clean and resist stains, making them perfect for high-traffic areas. They also provide a subtle sheen that enhances the appearance of the walls without being overly reflective.

4. How can lighting affect the look and feel of my newly painted workspace?

Lighting plays a crucial role in how paint colors appear and in the overall ambiance of your workspace. Natural light can make colors look brighter and more vibrant, while artificial lighting should be chosen to complement your color scheme. Use soft, warm LED lights to create a comfortable environment, and ensure your workspace has a mix of natural, overhead, and task lighting for the best results.

5. What maintenance tips can help keep my painted workspace looking fresh?

Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap will prevent dirt and dust from dulling the paint’s appearance. Keep some leftover paint for quick touch-ups on scuffs or scratches. Address minor repairs as they happen to maintain a polished, professional look. Thoughtful décor and organization, like using shelves and minimizing clutter, also help preserve your workspace’s fresh appearance.
