Decorating With Brown Walls and Silver Blue Accents
Courtesy of Meyer Interiors
Countless books have been written about how to boost your work productivity. But all along, you may have just needed a brush and a can of paint.
Your work environment can have an incredible effect on your energy, creativity, and focus, but let's be real—most of us don't have time to read a textbook on color psychology. Instead, we asked top interior designers for their advice on the best office paint colors.
See below for their go-to paint shades, which can help promote a productive space.
1 Pale Oak by Benjamin Moore
"A pale green, like Benjamin Moore's Pale Oak, is easy on the eyes and helps keep stress levels down. An office can often be a place that is tense, so counteracting that with a restful tone can be just what you need." — Marika MeyerofMeyer Interiors
2 Hague Blue by Farrow & Ball
"We love a dark, bold color for an office wall, trim, and ceilings. Using a deeper tone helps distinguish the room the minute you step foot inside and close the door behind you. It feels cozy."—Julie Massucco Kleiner of Massucco Warner
3 Lichen by Farrow & Ball
"I once read that olive green is the traditional color of peace. I can't think of a place more in need of peace than a coworking space designed for a family with teenagers!"—Marika Meyer
4 Dead Salmon by Farrow & Ball
"This is one of my favorite colors of all time, and not just because of its fantastic name. It's a great choice for an office due to its mellowing effect. It's not too pink but also not too fleshy and looks great with aged wood and modern materials."—Bella Zakarian Mancini of Bella Mancini Design
5 Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore
"Blue is always a go-to color, but it really sets the tone in the office. On the one hand, blue is thought of as a calming, peaceful color, and darker shades are also associated with intelligence and strength. If you want an office that inspires deep thoughts and concentration, Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore is a great choice."—Marika Meyer
6 Nickel by Benjamin Moore
"Nickel by Benjamin Moore is a light gray with blue hues that's perfect for a home-office space. The lightness of the color produces a calming and peaceful aesthetic. The blue hues stimulate the mind, increase productivity, and help you stay focused! Who doesn't like to be calm and focused when it comes to work?"— Nina Magon of Contour Interior Design
7 West Coast by Benjamin Moore
"I love this shade—it's warm and clean at the same time. Blue is the easiest color to live and work with, and along with the reflective quality of a glossy finish, it helps bring the outdoors inside."—Caroline Rafferty of Caroline Rafferty Interiors
8 Studio Green 93 by Farrow & Ball
"This deep, dark green, in either a matte or satin finish, will bring a dramatic mood to any home office. It is a true Renaissance color! The rich, saturated pigments respond extremely well to all types of light and remarkably emerge much greener than on the color card. Since green is the color of growth, life, and renewal, an office clad in this hue will promote calmness, harmony, a strong sense of balance, reassurance, safety, and productivity." —Keita Turner of Keita Turner Design

9 Pointing by Farrow & Ball
"We used Pointing by Farrow & Ball in our own office. It is one of my favorite off-whites and acts like a fabulous Instagram filter. It gives your room that perfect warm glow that you only get with natural sunlight." —Alyssa Kapito of Alyssa Kapito Interiors

10 St. John Blue by Benjamin Moore
"The color is deep but not too overwhelming, as we needed a great base to work from in a creative office! One might think that too much color in an office space would be distracting, but it's actually more inspiring and motivating, while the deep blue of this hue is simultaneously relaxing and tranquil." —Kati Curtis of Kati Curtis Design

11 Gentleman's Gray by Benjamin Moore
"I love using dark and moody colors in separate home office spaces, especially behind French or glass doors. Benjamin Moore's Gentleman's Gray is a watery blue-black, and when the light hits it, you see lots of teal. It looks especially good in a room with ample natural light. Colors you can't quite put your finger on keep you thinking, which is perfect for a work space!" —Claire Staszak of Centered by Design

12 Simply White by Benjamin Moore
"As a creative, I prefer a crisp and clean palette for my office spaces. Benjamin Moore's Simply White is my favorite in this instance. It's bright, serene, and fresh without feeling too stark, which I love. Not only does a bright white space allow you to begin each day with a clean slate and a clear mind, but it also affords you the ability to switch out little details as your taste (or the seasons) shift, providing a brand-new space with little effort each and every time." — Jacquelyn Clark of Lark & Linen

18 Blue Echo by Benjamin Moore
"I believe life should be lived in color, and your work space is no exception. This rich blue has subtle tones of gray and works for every square inch of the room when you vary the sheen—walls, trim, bookcases, you name it. It provides a pleasant environment to inspire creative minds!" — Meredith Ellis

19 Shaded White by Farrow & Ball
"It has that washed-out café au lait color that I love. Shaded White is very saturated, so if you like a stronger color, I would go for it! This color creates the perfect backdrop for decorating. It can go either masculine or feminine, which is a nice trick for an office. I've paired this wall color with black accents, a black desk, and some black and tan upholstery to create a super graphic, masculine space. I've also used the same color and mixed it with lots of pretty reds and blues to create a more feminine space. It's a neutral, but a neutral with personality!" —Eric Hughes

20 Oval Room Blue by Farrow & Ball
"There's typically an overabundance of wood in most home offices, so I prefer to stay away from neutrals and choose a complementary color. This soft blue-green hue offsets the warmth in most woods and creates a sense of calm in an area where you need it most. It looks especially beautiful on built-in cabinetry and crown moldings for an unexpected twist!" — Donna Mondi

21 Shoreline by Benjamin Moore
"I love to use Shoreline by Benjamin Moore in a home office. It's a beautiful gray that feels light, crisp, and peaceful — doesn't that sound like the best place to work?" —Kimille Taylor

22 Silver Mist by Benjamin Moore
"I love blue-grays in office spaces because they give off a very tailored and clean backdrop to the space. White is always a go-to, but I also love to play with different tones of gray. One of my favorite selections is Silver Mist by Benjamin Moore. Different shades of gray in an office can create a rich, neutral ombré effect in a stark corporate environment that needs a boost." —Elisa Shankle

23 Stiffkey Blue by Farrow & Ball
"I am currently obsessed with Farrow & Ball's Stiffkey Blue. I love using this rich deep-blue color in a gloss finish for cabinetry in a home office or even on a front door. Mixing it with copper and other metallic finishes makes everything feel very elegant. It also looks great on walls in general or simply on an accent wall to create a dramatic space with a more contemporary twist. It's a dreamy shade that complements many other colors, yet it is warm and soft." —Birgit Klein of Birgit Klein Interiors
