Look around your office—does it still reflect the professionalism and creativity your company stands for? A well-designed workspace can do wonders, not just for first impressions on clients and visitors but also for employee morale. Offices can be challenging to decorate, but when done right, they can make a significant impact. In this guide, we’ll explore common pitfalls to avoid and share inspiring design ideas to transform your office.

Say Goodbye to Magnolia

Magnolia has long been a default choice for office walls, often seen as a “safe” option. Many avoid white due to fears of it marking too easily, turning to magnolia without much consideration. However, unless your office benefits from abundant natural light, magnolia can make spaces feel dim, dated, and uninspiring. It’s time to break free from this uninspired trend.

Hello, White!

White walls are a simple yet powerful way to refresh your office space. We frequently recommend white for its ability to make areas feel open, clean, and modern—and we’ve yet to be disappointed. Concerns about durability are outdated; modern paints are designed to withstand the demands of busy workplaces. With scrubbable, high-performance finishes, white is now a practical and stylish choice that stands up to daily wear and tear.

Design Tips for Larger Offices

Have a spacious office? A feature wall can add the "wow factor" you’re looking for. When done well, it introduces personality and energy to the room. Consider bold hues like green or purple to make a statement. For something truly eye-catching, a large-scale woodland mural is our top recommendation. A striking design like this creates an inviting atmosphere and leaves a lasting impression on anyone who walks in.

Final Thoughts

Before reaching for that can of magnolia paint, take a moment to think bigger. There are so many alternatives that can make your office stand out while uplifting the spirits of employees and visitors alike. Whether it’s embracing the brightness of white or adding personality with a feature wall, small changes can lead to a big transformation.

Your office deserves to reflect the high standards of your company—start your refresh today!
