Colour has a big impact on our lives! In addition to being a vessel for personal taste and self-expression, it also influences how we feel and behave. How we decorate and dress with colour can profoundly affect whether we’re happy or sad, energetic or sleepy, and a long list of other moods and behaviours.
The right colour palette can positively impact our actions and emotions, so you have to wonder: Can we use colour to improve our work environment? Below, we’ll discuss the ins and outs of colour theory, including how to use tech items from LOGiiX’s VIBRANCE™ Collection, from wall chargers to iPad sleeves, to optimize your workspace!
What Is Colour Psychology?
Colour is both a visual and sensory experience for humans. Each colour in the world contains a specific wavelength, and each one interacts with our bodies, brains, and, in turn, emotions differently. Understanding how most people respond to different colours is a key element in design, as it allows you to cater your space to its intended purpose.
Colours That Enhance the Workplace
When it comes to decorating your office or personal workspace, the right colour palette can help you feel more motivated, creatively driven, and energized to get your job done.
Whether you’re painting walls, selecting tech accessories, choosing furniture, or other visual elements for your workplace, here are a few colours you can incorporate to stimulate the following emotions:
Increased Productivity: Blue is known to provide a combination of calmness, peace, and security. It can stimulate efficiency while also reducing stress. Studies show that rooms with blue in their colour scheme are more productive, making it a great colour to add to your workspace!
Calmness: Colours found in nature, like green, stimulate feelings of refreshment, serenity, and safety. Adding green to your workspace can make it feel more welcoming and restful, creating a more enjoyable work area.
Positivity: Yellow is the happiest colour, perfect for offices and workplaces that foster creativity, high energy, and collaboration! However, make sure not to overdo this colour as it can have an adverse effect and become overstimulating, especially if the shade is too bright.
Energy and Creativity: Purple is another great colour for the workplace. Depending on the shade you select, it can create many different moods. Lavender, for example, is excellent for boosting creativity and calmness, while bolder purple shades are energetic!
How to Apply Colour Theory to Your Personal Workspace
Now that you know which colours to use, how should you use them? If you’re decorating your personal workspace or home office, there are a few ways you can incorporate colour without overhauling the main decor or breaking the bank!
Use Colourful Notebooks and Stationery: Writing in your day planner and calendar is a lot more fun when your stationery fits your style. Opt for colourful, vibrant notebooks, agendas, pens, sticky notes and other desk essentials to give your space more personality!
Add a Houseplant or Two: You can embrace the calm of natural colours like green by adding a couple of plants to your workspace (as long as your boss gives you the “OK”).
Replace Boring Tech & Accessories: If you want to diversify the technology on your desk, incorporate colour into the wall chargers, cables, and accessories with LOGiiX’s VIBRANCE™ Collection!
You can find colourful wall chargers, charging cables, iPad sleeves, iPad styluses, Bluetooth earphones, and other tech and accessories that every productive workspace needs!
