Home Office Colors: The Shades That Improve Your Work

Colors play a fundamental role in our daily lives and interior design, profoundly influencing our psychology and well-being.

From choosing a wall paint to selecting furnishings, colors not only define the aesthetics of a space, but also have a significant impact on our emotions, mood, and concentration.

Color psychology explores how different hues can evoke specific emotional and behavioral responses, influencing our moods and reactions.

We have often involved our community in choosing a new shade to include in the Hiro color palette and each of us has expressed their preference.

This is because the color theme is something very subjective.

The Impact of Color on Your Life (and Work)

However, there are studies, as we have said, that analyze the impact of colors on our lives, as well as the effect they have on concentration and general well-being.

Colors therefore become very important when applied to a work environment, such as a home office .

Here are some colors that are known to help improve concentration:

• Blue : This is often considered one of the best colors for focus and productivity. Blue is associated with calm and tranquility , and can help reduce stress and improve concentration. In the Hiro family of colors, we have Midnight Blue , Light Teal , and Cornflower Blue .
  
  
• Green : It is a color that evokes feelings of balance and harmony . Green can help reduce eye strain and promote a feeling of relaxation, thus facilitating concentration.
  
  
• Gray : A light or neutral gray can be helpful in maintaining a calm , distraction-free work environment. It’s not too stimulating and can help keep your mind focused. Have you heard of Hiro’s baby blue ?
  
  
• White : Can provide a clean and tidy environment, which can contribute to greater mental clarity and concentration. However, it is important not to overdo it with white, as it can also come across as too sterile and lacking in personality.
  
  

• Yellow : In small doses, yellow can stimulate energy and creativity . However, it is important not to use it in excess, as it can be overstimulating and distracting.
