James Kuster, of Kuester Design in Indianapolis, suggests that when considering changing your office colors, think hard about how you feel while at work. Are you anxious, irritable, have difficulty concentrating? Or, are you excited, energized, and focused? If the former better describes your workspace than the latter, take a look at the office décor. One’s environment has a direct bearing on one’s mood and energy level.
Look at the color choices for the walls. Are they institutional, boring, drab? How do they make you feel? You will be more productive if the colors make you feel “up beat” and positive.
In addition to - or instead of - painting, think about adding bright framed posters. Colorful rugs can change the look and feel of a room and hallway. And fresh flowers always bring a bright feeling to any office environment.
These are great tips for home-based businesses as well. A former bedroom or attic areas is often converted into an office; possibly it's time to 'make it your own'.

At roundpeg, we added animals, real ones to brighten the room. Two dogs and a cat now add a bit of fun on dreary days.
I realize live animals don't work for everyone, but it did add a sense of fun for us.
