When the home is also an office, it is important to harmonise these areas, which at first glance seem so different, and still create space for relaxation and leisure. Wallpapers and colours play a decisive role in ensuring that the different areas of the house or flat harmonise in terms of design and increase productivity.
Creating a fixed place for working
The most important prerequisite for pleasant and productive working at home is a fixed workspace. If you do not have a separate study, you can separate the work area from the rest of your living space by using room partitioning, for example in the form of bookshelves, plants or by using a special wall colour or wallpaper. Whenever possible, sufficient daylight should be ensured.
Furniture for the home office does not have to be the typical office furniture. In a home office, the furniture can follow personal taste and still be healthy for your spine. When it comes to the desk and the chair, restrained colours form a good basis for any design.
Find the perfect colour concept for your homeoffice
The choice of wall colour or the colour tones of the wallpaper influences the work atmosphere. Colours like red or yellow provide creativity. Cooler colours such as blue or green bring a sense of calm to the workplace. Neutral or grey tones are beneficial for concentration.
You can also use the wall for accessories such as pinboards for important notes and appointments or wall calendars. Selected coloured accessories provide accents. Overall, "less is more" also applies to the choice of the wallpaper pattern. Scandinavian brands such as Borås Tapeter and Sandberg offer a wide range of those wallpaper patterns. The ideally coordinated shades of British paint manufacturers such as Farrow & Ball, Little Greene or Designers Guild provide for harmonious, calm colour concepts for walls and furniture. We also recommend the unique colour fan by Le Corbusier, which originates from the time of the Bauhaus movement.
