Choosing the Colour Scheme for an Office Refurbishment

There will be many things to consider when you are planning an office refurbishment and one of the top priorities should be your colour scheme.

Putting together your colour palette will be an important decision before you even consider a lick of paint, a piece of furniture or even the flooring so getting it right is essential and will ultimately be a reflection of your businesses brand image.

With that being said, we’re sharing 3 quick tips for making the process much easier when looking for inspiration for the perfect colour scheme…

Consider your company logo

One of the easiest ways to ensure your office colour scheme flows and represents your business perfectly is by considering your company logo.

Using the colours that are used in your logo will help to keep the brand continuity flowing throughout and become more recognisable to customers and clients, providing an impression of clear identity and continuity.

If you don’t already have a colour scheme to your brand logo your office refurbishment planning could present a great opportunity to develop a fresh new logo to represent your business by adding your preferred colours to it.

Find a place for touches of green

Adding touches of green to your colour scheme has many benefits if you don’t already use the colour in your current office design.

Green is a colour that evokes many positive thoughts when people see it as it is associated with growth due to the fact that the colour is so often found in nature and with the world so switched on to protecting the planet and sustainability in 2023, the colour is often associated with environmentally-friendly organisations.

Green is a really easy colour to incorporate into your office design as you don’t even need to commit to purchasing green furniture instead you can opt for adding plants around the office to boost the biophilic aspect of you workplace which has been proven to boost productivity.

Neutral colours are a must

Of course primary colours have their benefits, red is a great colour for brainstorming spaces as it inspires creativity and energy, however, in the modern office neutral colours have been a hot trend and offer a multitude of benefits.

Using cool pastel hues known for creating a calming environment that gives a light and airy atmosphere have been championed by some of the biggest businesses in the world, again biophilic design is one of the most popular design trends due to the connection it makes for employees with nature.

Expertly combining neutral tones with splashes of dominant colours, like red, in the right areas of your office space will help you to develop a design that evokes the right mood for the right zone without being chaotic and distracting.
