Cool Color

By

blue-officeAfter interviewing Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan, Apartment Therapy’s co-founder, I’ve been thinking a lot about color. Maxwell said “cool is focusing and contracting – good for private rooms. Colors should support those activities – it’s hard in say a rental where the rooms are all white and there’s no change from space to space – that feels deadening. A home office for example should be a cool color.” I’ve collected some great cool-colored offices.

I love your home office blog. Home offices tend to be sheltered places that exist outside the world of review and respect. We put on our Sunday go to meeting clothes for our public offices. My own home office is rarely ready for company. Your blog is just what I needed to get it together for the home front. And why not? Charity begins at home. Right?
Why not give the gift to yourself?

Hi Sandra
Thanks for your comments. It inspires me as well, although my office doubles as a guest bedroom and that is rather tricky. We have a lot of house guests!
