could wall colour help or hinder your work?

Also, you have to think about what else happens in the room - Is it  only an office? or will it function as living room, bedroom etc.

If you are making an office where you wanna get a lot of work done, you may want something like a neutral color, or a bright scheme that will motivate you but not overwhelm you. A taupe, pale blue, or seafoam green would be calming and unobtrusive. A darker red,however, like deep cherry-maroon, could make you feel empowered.  :)

Anyways, hope that helps!

In the late 80's Anthony Schembri was the Police Commissioner in the City of Rye NY.  I had a store there and knew him.  He was the inspiration for the TV show  The Commish .

You might find it helpful to know that yellow is the favourite colour of the insane  :o

how many windows do you have in the room? is there a lot of natural light?

quite bright,
"Under the roof" as they say here, wall sloping up to ceiling, with a big Velux window
maybe as you say "pale blue, or seafoam green would be calming and unobtrusive"

but I dont think I'll go for the pink ljbirns, interesting read though :D :up:

thanks all for the tips, reading and wishes :)

Call me adventurous but my room is always painted a matte white! If it's good enough for most ICUs, it's good enough for me!  :P
