How Colour Choice Affects Your Office
The selection of colours in the workplace is a subtle yet effective way to improve productivity and efficiency in a few easy steps. It has been recognised that bland and boring colours such as grey and beige can hinder the mood of your staff, thereby stifling motivation and creativity. But with such an expansive range of colours available, it can be hard to know which is right to get the best out of your team.
The Delta Acoustic Office Dividers from Rap Industries have been designed and developed with this in mind, so here is some further information as to which colours can encourage creativity and efficiency or passion and emotion. Not only are the Delta Office Dividers bringing a wide choice of colours to get the best out of your team, the acoustic foam assist with excess noise, creating a calmer work space.
The effect of colour is subliminal and instinctive which is why it is often not considered to play a considerable role but recent studies have eluded to its ability to affect mood due to how we associate with certain colours. For example, blues and greens come highly recommended due to how we associate those colours with nature, which as a result provides a relaxing effect. On the other hand, grey is commonly associated as a dreary colour hence why it has been shown to cause boredom and a lack of motivation.
Blue – Considered to be a calming influence as it evokes feelings of blue skies and the sea which has made it a popular choice for offices around the world. Blues, especially lighter shades are suitable to help members of staff to focus on the task at hand.
Green – Associated with green grass and nature which as a result helps staff to remain calm. It has the added benefit of not causing eye fatigue, making it an ideal colour choice for team members working long hours.
Yellow – Typically associated with sunshine and happiness and helps to foster creativity which makes it a great choice for designers, writers and many more creative professions.
Red – Commonly associated with anger which is why it should be used in moderation. However, with the right balance, Reds can stimulate passion and emotion, making it suitable for sales teams or customer service providers.
What makes the Delta Acoustic Screens ideal for encouraging these moods is that they can be used in any space without the need to re-paint the whole office. For example, you can combine a blue wall colour to evoke calmness while integrating this with yellow partition screens for your design team to encourage creativity.
