Many people report higher job satisfaction, mental health and overall wellbeing than their counterparts who have returned to full-time office work. This new reality created some new interior design needs, as people looked to create or improve permanent spaces within their homes where they could continue with their jobs. A workspace is, after all, decidedly different in nature from a conventional home space such as the kitchen – unless you’re a chef, of course! Now that working from home has been with us all for almost four years, the new consideration is ongoing maintenance and/or revamping of the home office in a way that will continue to encourage productivity. Colour is an easy way to update an interior. When it comes to choosing Plascon colours for these home workspaces, there are a few handy guidelines that can be followed, and some valuable insights from colour psychology to help steer choices in the right direction. People instinctively know what colours resonate with them, what ‘feels right’, but not everyone knows why this is the case. The reason why some colours encourage [...]]]></description>

What better way to feel restored and reset than by looking to the healing properties of nature? Just as in nature, colours come to life in harmony. This is why for 2022, Plascon has brought together three beautiful hues in a combination to capture the mood of the year.
