Articles > Design Psychology for Your Office

Using Design Psychology in your office increases both happiness and productivity. Here are some ideas on how to make your office a more pleasant and productive place:

Provide Friendly Lighting

Overly-bright overhead lighting can cause problems with eyestrain, headaches, and fatigue. You can install dimmers and add task lighting where needed to correct that situation.

Home-like table lamps can provide a feeling of comfort, because our minds are accustomed to that type of lighting. Floor lamps are also another good supplemental light source, and have the added benefit of freeing up work space on desks. Using home-style lamps can lend a friendly atmosphere to an office space and improve productivity.

Use Creative Colors on the Walls

There are many colors that can effectively enhance creativity, including soft grays, warm tans, and silver blues. Decorative paint can also add a greater sense of dimension to a room. Overall efficiency can be improved by using sky and navy blues, black accents, and muted greens.

Dress Your Office to Impress

If you're dressing your office to impress your clients, use over-scaled office furniture, welcoming home-style lighting, and large landscape paintings (to add a sense of visual depth). Combine those elements with tropical foliage to bring nature indoors, which relaxes you and your guests. Bookcases filled with books and closed files signify that you are knowledgeable and organized.

Using the techniques of Design Psychology can transform your office into a more productive and enjoyable space for yourself, employees, and clients.
