Back In Black? 5 Ways To Incorporate Colour Into Your Commercial Office Furniture!

Unfortunately, there are too many furniture designers who think 'corporate' must mean 'black'

, 'navy' or 'grey'. It seems that bright colours are taboo in the traditional world of commercial office furniture. Lucky that there are some forward-thinking, creative tradition-breakers among the furniture designers sitting around boardroom tables nowadays - because environmental colour can be a fantastic mood-booster and also a productivity shot! Here's how you can be a bright spark, and either find or make your commercial office furniture come to life with colour.

Colourful Seating

There is a large range of beautifully designed and modern seating available nowadays. It is much easier to find bright colours in seating than in any other type of office furniture. How much more interesting and lively could your executive meetings be with a rainbow of chairs around the boardroom table?! Your reception area will be far more inviting with a selection of colourful ottomans to wait on, and your visitors' seating will be much more inviting with a splash of colour.

Solid Wood Desks

Only the most unimaginative or literal of people can say that all wood is brown! Look for solid wood desks in unusual timbers such as rich red and variegated jarrah. This is an understated but very definite way to add colour to your office. Alternatively, if you have the time, energy and will, you can strip back the polish on a solid wood desk and stain it an unusual colour like blue or green.

Colourful Flooring

In most cases, commercial flooring is chosen to hide the staining that inevitably occurs in high traffic areas. To many designers, this means either grey or brown - but that blank canvas full of potential will be thoroughly wasted on a boring brown carpet. Consider using carpet tiles - a huge range of colours and patterns is available, there are new antibacterial formulations available, and you can mix and match the tiles to delineate different areas within your office. Plus, they're colourful!

Fresh Flowers and Plants

Fresh flowers and plants truly breathe life into a space, not only with their colours but with their scents and the improved oxygen status of the office. Fresh flowers are expensive - they are a 'treat' for the office and a convenient gift for the staff. Flowering plants are a great everyday solution, though. Just ensure they are positioned in a sunny place, and they are low maintenance and limited in the growth they will achieve.

Work Uniform

Suits are the standard for many office-based workplaces - but they don't have to be. Introduce colour with a bright work uniform for all employees ... most people are happy not to have to think about what they'll wear to work every day, your image gets a professionalism boost, and the office is suddenly more alive.

Don't live your working life in a purgatory of grey carpets, black equipment and navy blue suits! Colour can be a real motivator, and just a few elements of brightly coloured commercial office furniture can make all the difference.
