Colours are divided into two basic groups: warm colours and cool colours.

Here are certain colours that can increase productivity at work:

• Blue – Studies have shown that people who work in blue rooms are more productive and are better performers. It is also a symbol of loyalty and stimulates workers minds to work better.

• Green – Green is another popular office colour because it symbolises nature and evokes feelings of tranquillity and gives off an overall relaxing mood. It is also believed that green can calm people down and relieve them of stress or nervousness.

• Red – Red is considered to be one of the most intense colours in the spectrum. It makes people’s heartbeat race and is recommended if you want to attract attention to a particular wall in your office.

• White – White is a popular choice amongst many offices as it is a safe bet. It is natural, light and clean. White coloured offices give employees a better mood and a more optimistic disposition. It also reflects more light, giving rooms a more spacious feel.

Those colours which can be found closer to the red spectrum of the colour chart are considered to be in the warm colours category. These colours are orange, red, brown, burgundy and the likes. Warm colours evoke feelings of cheerfulness and exude energy. It makes people want to interact with each other which make it an ideal choice as an office colour. Colours under the warm spectrum also increase one’s alertness However, it is also important to note that warm colours can also evoke feelings of hostility and anger. Often times, it can also be too overpowering. As a result of this, people do not want to stay in rooms with warmer colours for a longer period of time as opposed to those painted with cool colours. This makes warm colours ideal for places where people do not have to spend a lot of time in like the entrance, the lobby or locker rooms.

Cool Blue and Green Colours

On the other hand, colours which are found under the blue spectrum are considered to be cool colours. These colours include hues of blue, green and purple. Psychologically, they are considered to be colours that evoke peace and calm. They are soothing colours that encourages concentration and overall calm and cool environment at the office. They are perfect for rooms wherein people are expected to be productive such as the production area or the main work place. They can also make a room look more spacious than it is.

Office Design – Should I Go Open Plan?

Right from the start In Out Solutions Ltd impressed me with their efficient, professional manner, with an approach that not only inspired confidence but confirmed that the fact that I had made the right choice in selecting Michael and his team to undertake a huge renovation project at one of our Headingley properties, not only was the work completed to the highest standard, it was completed in a very tight schedule of 6 weeks. We needed a competent company who we could rely on to understand the project, as well as project managing to ensure that we kept within the budgets.

In Out Solutions provided an efficient out of hours service when undertaking our office refurbishment with the minimum of disruption. Michael was very keen to ensure our requirements were met and the job completed to our satisfaction and was on site to oversee works to ensure our instructions were carried out. Furniture etc was returned to its original position and the office left neat and tidy for the following working day.

Palladia, Alaina Dunne, Deputy Centre Manager
As a busy Facilities Manager, I place high value on using Contractors who can deliver exceptional service, to budget and with minimal demand on my time. In Out Solutions have demonstrated a remarkable ability to complete works to the high standard expected of major national contractors, whilst being extremely good value for money. They are flexible, well presented, polite and have one target in mind – to get the job done in an efficient, professional manner.I have recently used In Out Solutions for 3 projects, including installation of 2 glass offices and a dry wall office in our Leeds building, and a full refurbishment of our Grade 1 Listed building in London. The latter was a particular challenge, notably with regard to access. Michael, of In Out Solutions proved his worth on numerous occasions, not least when every company barring In Out Solutions stated that access was not sufficient for 3.5m glazing panels to be brought into the building. As a key element of the design brief, it was imperative that floor to ceiling glass panels were installed. Michael was on site to orchestrate the delivery and installation which went without fault.

In Out Solutions always deliver; on time for meetings, excellent communication and clear, concise quotations and work specifications. A real pleasure to deal with.
