These days, many houses have a home office—and whether this space is designated for running a business, working remotely, taking online classes, or late-night gaming sessions, it should be a room where you feel safe, productive, and right at home! Believe it or not, the right coat of paint can play a large role in this, and if you think it might be time to repaint, you should make an informed and tasteful choice. Here are three popular paint color scheme ideas that are perfect for any home office.
1. Classic White
When it comes to interior design, there is no color choice as versatile and timeless as classic white. It has been used in interior design for centuries, and it’s unlikely to fade in popularity anytime soon. White gives you a crisp, clean backdrop to plan the rest of your space around; it can be paired with virtually any other color or piece of décor, and it even comes in off-white varieties if you’d like something similar, but different. If you’re planning to feature artwork, framed pictures or posters, or other types of novelties or memorabilia in your office, white can also help them stand out tastefully.
2. Navy Blue
Navy blue is grounding, bold, and thoughtful, and if you want your office to truly feel like a space where you can calmly kick back and get some solid work done, there are few better options. It also provides a fantastic backdrop for most modern styles, so if you want to include rustic wooden furniture, a mid-century modern table, metallic accents, or a cozy leather desk chair, navy is a safe bet! If navy still feels a little too dark for you, you might also consider pairing it with a lighter complementary color like goldenrod or sunset orange.
3. Earthy Tones
Maybe you want your home office to have a more rugged, natural feel so that you’re never too far from the great outdoors. Shades of brown (light and dark), gray, beige, greige, and many more can all be used to bring a sense of nature to your space. This mood can be elevated even further if the room has windows that allow in natural light, though just be mindful of how light can sometimes affect how paint appears.
Painting a home office can be complicated because of all the furniture and technology, plus it tends to make your space “off-limits” for a while. That’s why it’s always wise to consult with a team of professionals for additional advice, guidance, and the guarantee that your results will be as impressive as you imagine!
