Whilst office furniture and office layout are indeed very important with regards to employee productivity and wellbeing, other factors such as workplace colour schemes should also be considered.

According to research regarding the psychology of colour. Colours can be responsible for both physical and psychological effects on people. This can trigger a range of moods and emotions.

What Colour To Choose?
