Lighting Tips for Offices
Natural light affects how paint looks — especially in rooms used all day.
- North-facing offices: Choose warm tones like mustard, taupe, or soft beige to counteract cooler light.
- South-facing offices: Cool tones such as slate blue or dusty green prevent harsh brightness.
- Artificial lighting: Use soft white LED bulbs to keep color consistent throughout the day.
Finish and Sheen Matters
- Eggshell: Ideal for walls — smooth and low-glare, perfect for video calls.
- Satin: Great for trim, built-ins, or cabinetry where you need light reflection and easy cleaning.
- Matte: Works well for accent walls, giving a high-end look without reflection.
