How The Right Colour of Paint Improves Productivity in Brisbane

The colour scheme you choose to paint commercial spaces with can have a surprising impact on productivity and employee wellbeing. Different colours have particular influences on the emotions and energy of workers. By considering basic elements of colour psychology, you can theoretically boost the productivity of your business. 

At Brush Masters, we specialise in commercial painting services in Brisbane. In this blog, we offer some tips and strategies for choosing colour combinations that boost workplace productivity.

Impact of Different Colours

Dull, bland and uninspiring commercial spaces can reduce energy, motivation and creativity. Adding more stimulating and vibrant colours with a fresh commercial paint job can boost morale and contribute to a more efficient and positive work environment. Some common associations of colours include:

• Bright red and orange generating energy and excitement
• Yellow evoking feelings of happiness, warmth and optimism
• Lighter shades of blue and green creating serenity and calm
• Darker blues projecting a feeling of stability and professionalism
• Neutral shades like whites and creams make a space feel open, welcoming, modern and sophisticated.

Of course, it’s impractical to simply paint an entire space red or yellow to try to boost energy levels. Coordinating different elements like lighting, furniture, wall paint and indoor plants is key to finding the right balance. The key is to find an approach that boosts productivity and morale without being overwhelming, so you can maintain an appropriate aesthetic appeal that fits your business and a professional work environment.

Creating Balance With Accent Colours

Using accent colours is an effective way of finding this balance, allowing you to add energy and visual interest to the workplace without going too far. For example, replacing a single white wall in a room with a coloured one can provide a motivating burst of colour. You can also use a colour matcher or professional colour consultation services to find great colours to contrast against each other.

A red or yellow accent wall can add a burst of energy in a workplace while a light green accent wall can add a sense of calm and reduce stress in a busy, fast-paced business environment. Commercial building painting professionals can help you experiment with different accent colours and find the right balance for your business.

Creating an Organised and Professional Environment

Investing in commercial painting services can also assist in maintaining an organised and professional-looking workplace in general. A clean, well-organised and visually appealing workspace helps improve focus, with visual clutter and disarray impacting productivity.

A fresh coat of paint can provide functional benefits, helping to define boundaries of individual workstations, common areas, reception and meeting rooms. This includes commercial exterior painting in addition to your interiors to create cohesiveness around your company’s aesthetics and ethos.
