Your home office deserves care and time put into it. If you work from home, you know that you need that separation between your office and the rest of your home. It is where work happens, ideas come to life, and sometimes, coffee-fueled brilliance happens! You want to put time and care into your home office, because you spend so much time there and need to be in an environment you feel comfortable and inspired in. Choosing the right home interior paint colours for your office can completely transform your space and work. We have a range of excellent options to suit every kind of workspace, from professional and polished to energizing and creative.
Neutral Colours for a Polished Look
If your day involves lots of Zoom meetings, a clean and professional background can help you stand out for all the right reasons. Neutral tones are a no-fail choice. They’re versatile, timeless, and don’t distract from what matters most, which is you and your message.
- Pale Oak OC-20: A soft greige that creates a calm and elegant atmosphere.
- Balboa Mist OC-27: A warm neutral that adds depth without being too bold.
- Classic Gray OC-23: A clean, light grey that feels modern and fresh.
These shades offer a polished look that works well with either natural or artificial lighting, making you camera-ready at all times.
Accent Walls for Some Fun
Even if you’re all business, a splash of colour can add personality and energy to your office. We recommend putting this against the wall your computer is against, so you can enjoy it at all times. An accent wall is a great way to keep things interesting while maintaining balance in your space. Some bold options from our Benjamin Moore collection include:
- Hale Navy HC-154: A deep, rich navy that feels both stylish and grounding.
- Aegean Teal 2136-40: A vibrant blue-green that energizes without overwhelming.
- Kendall Charcoal HC-166: A dark grey that adds drama and contrast.
Accent walls are perfect if you want your home office to feel intentional and distinct from other parts of your home.
Colours That Create Work-Life Boundaries
One challenge of working from home is separating work from the rest of your life. Using a unique colour palette in your office can create a mental boundary between “work time” and “home time.” Consider trying colours that aren’t used elsewhere in your house. Some great choices include:
- Edgecomb Gray HC-173: A warm grey-beige that feels cozy yet professional.
- Boothbay Gray HC-165: A muted blue-grey that offers a peaceful, focused vibe.
By differentiating your office colours from the rest of your home, you create a visual cue that helps shift you into work mode when it’s time to focus.
Tips for Painting Your Home Office
- Opt for matte or eggshell finishes to avoid glare from lighting or screens.
- Highlight trim and architectural details with contrasting colours for added style.
- Don’t forget about ceilings – a lighter shade of your wall colour can make the room feel larger.
Your home office is your space, so make it work for you. Whether you’re after a professional finish, a splash of energy, or a sense of calm, the right home office paint colours can set the stage.
