Brand It If your business already has a cool brand, it's best to stick with the colors of that brand when redecorating. This way, customers already familiar with your previous look will more easily recognize your company after you modernize its interior. Even if you fully deck out the furniture and switch everything around but the colors, the familiarity that visitors have established psychologically will still remain. Your business will still be recognized and remembered for what it is rather than something new and unfamiliar. Most guests will usually appreciate your company's foresight to keep up with the trends, and the fact that your business is prospering enough to redecorate. If your business doesn't have a well established brand with an eye-catching logo and colors, starting with an office makeover is a great place to remedy that! Black and White Decorating in mostly black or white is super popular nowadays for many reasons. Successful companies like Apple have made the look one of the hottest interior decorating trends in all areas of the field. However, this look, while stylish, is fraught with difficulties. Just black or white on its own looks terribly boring, and the latter is a nightmare to keep clean. The best way to pull off either of these looks is to combine them or bring in a bit of color. The black and white scheme creates a nice contrast that really pops when a single accent color is added, and the two non-colors match everything. The contrast puts a huge emphasis on texture and pattern, so vibrant black and white accents are a must, but gray and chrome make sleek unifiers to tie it all together. If you choose to decorate this way, just space things out. If you have white walls, make sure your office chairs have black upholsteries and vice versa. Remember fun textures, patterns, and contrast is key!
Colors Eye-popping color combos are one of the best ways to snatch the attention of potential customers. When done right, a good color combination can invoke thoughts of a particular business even if that business is nowhere in sight. However, decorating with color is challenging. You have to keep in mind that not all colors look good together. (Ever tried to pull off a brick red top with lime green pants? Yuck.) In order to decorate with color, thinking like an interior designer is a must. Familiarize yourself with the color wheel and know its tricks and each color's psychological associations. Colors opposite each other make wonderful contrasts and are almost always needed somewhere in a room. Colors next to each other typically make great compliments. If you're in search of office furniture, mesh task chairs are often offered in a host of color choices to easily fit decor needs. If you're having trouble figuring out what would match, try to imagine how the colors would look in an outfit. If you look good wearing the colors, chances are, so will your office! Accents and Lighting Cool accents and proper lighting are extremely important in any office environment. Not only do they have superficial decorative purposes, but both are also imperative to an efficiently functioning office environment. Sufficient lighting is needed in order to work. In general, it keeps employees awake and upbeat, and also helps them see to read if they must. In decorating though, lighting can be tricky because it distorts colors. A blue that perfectly matches the blue on the company logo will appear darker when painted on a wall because of shadows. When painting, always be sure to get the color a few shades lighter than the one you want depending on how dark your office is. If you need to, increase the number of office lighting fixtures that you have lying around. Practical accent furniture can also serve a dual purpose, looking good and performing a function. A trendy desk lamp can make a great piece of accent furniture that has a practical use. It can contrast the color of the walls, rounding out the room, at the same time as it illuminates your amazing office interior. Furniture The best part about decorating is without a doubt the furniture. If you already have a color scheme picked out, choosing furniture is a piece of cake, with just a few rules to keep in mind. When choosing furniture, if your office has stark walls, it's okay to choose chairs with fun fabric designs. However, if your walls are loaded with cool patterns, it's best to go with furniture that has solid colors to balance things out. In office environments, functionality comes first. At the store, some chairs may look cooler than others, but if they aren't ergonomic, kiss them goodbye. Keeping guests and employees comfortable is definitely more important because it says something about your business. If the lounge chairs with contemporary design in your waiting room cause more pain than they do comfort, but they definitely look great, customers will assume your business is more concerned about the way it looks than the quality of service it provides. Amazing furniture should never come at the price of comfort or productivity. If it does, your business will only suffer for it.
