If you know any commercial painting contractors in the Long Island area you’ve likely heard many war stories from them. No doubt they have seen a lot of strange office color schemes in their day. I’ve come across many in my day, for sure. What kind of color scheme do you want for your business? Your own preferences will play a major part in this. So, before you seek a painting cost estimate, consider the following:

For the most part, offices tend to be painted in a lot of neutral colors. Beige, white, etc. While not always the most pleasing to the eye, they’re also the least offensive. This is what most large offices seek, as the employer is dealing with many people with varying tastes. Government buildings and colleges follow this same logic, so more often than not their interiors will be colored similarly.

Speaking of which, have you seen that all government offices – no matter where in the country they are – tend to be painted the exact same color as one another? Don’t you find that to be a little creepy?

Along with the offices that are painted up in neutral colors from stem to stern, we’ve seen a fair number that have more radical color schemes. Bright neon colors, dark and bold reds and blues, earthy browns and greens. All of these colors certainly have their place. Neon green or pastel blue might not work in a law firm, but it would be ideal in a pediatrician’s office. Kids are less likely to get bored with outrageous colors than they would with neutral beiges and whites (They also like to draw on white surfaces, we’ve noticed). Earthy colors tend to have a soothing effect, which would be perfect for a yoga studio or a psychiatrist’s office. Conversely, this would not work for an area where intensity is a must, such as a gym or financier’s office.

What atmosphere do you want to promote in your business? All professional all the time? Free and creative? A soothing and relaxing environment?
