There is no reason why offices shouldn't be warm, inviting and a pleasure to work in, since you spend a sizeable chunk of your day here. In fact there is every reason if it makes you feel good about being there. The more you can nurture a productive work place, the more successful you will be in it.

OFFICE DECOR LIGHTING

Most often office lighting has meant overhead illumination that is expected to serve as a cover-all. In fact this style of lighting is ineffective & uncomfortable without specific task lighting.

Further, if it is the wrong color spectrum fluorescent, it is actually harmful to many people, creating vision disturbance, dizziness, and fuzzy thinking, affecting well being and thus work efficiency.

General lighting should be considered the first step in the layering of lighting in any living or work space, but alone will be flat. Strategically placed lighting focused on work stations will push the walls away a bit giving dimension and warmth to the room.

Specific lighting of directional spots and lamps should be applied to task areas. Overhead track lighting, hanging pendants or recessed pots serve fixed task areas well, such as at a service desk or copy station, etc.

At a personal desk or task area, a direct variable adjustable light source is helpful.

LIVING SPACES Lighting Index Series relates to the principles of lighting application.

OFFICE DECOR COLOR

Work place lighting together with flat color casts an uncomfortable glaring pall with white walls, stark light, utilitarian furniture and cabinetry.

The edgy ‘Modern’ or ‘Contemporary’ corporate office design is a preferred style for the specific purpose of 'getting down to business'. It elicits a particular upscale often monochrmatic Italian Modern image with the purpose of playing on hard crisp lines and planes - suggestive of crisp & concise business.

The psychology, while effective, is not necessarily the most effective style for work efficiency. Times are changing. Environmental comfort is related to decreased stress and improved (& happier) efficiency.

Create Depth, the same layering effect as recommended with light. Think of the tonal layers and relationship between all elements in the room and how all are best enhanced.

Choose Color in tones that create dimension and warmth, complementing the flooring and furnishings. Color Selection should be vibrant and alive, inspiring creativity, yet calm and settling enough to allow for necessary focus.
