Make your workspace work for you

Colours have a powerful effect on your mood, emotions and concentration, which is why choosing the right colour in your workspace is so important. Some theorists believe that certain colours, like orange, can increase concentration and productivity. It’s been said that orange increases the oxygen in the brain, which stimulates mental activity, making it a fabulous colour for studies and home offices.

Even small pops of bright colour could impact your creativity and productivity. If orange walls aren’t really your style, use vibrant variations like tangerine or pumpkin, or try earthier hues like nectarine, orange rose and sunset. Decorate with these zippy shades to create a feature wall to help you focus. You could also paint unexpected places, such as inside bookshelves, to help you find inspiration for work.
