The appearance of your office space plays a significant role in the success of your company, as it dictates how your customers/clients feel when they enter your premise and speaks widely to your style and professionalism. Investing in a commercial painting company to choose an appropriate paint pallet for your business is a wise investment. And while most companies typically gravitate towards beige or off white–neutral colors that will not overpower the environment, it has been found that bold and bright accent colors can provide you more value for your decorating dollars.
Accent walls provide an excellent and affordable way to add decorative finesse and to liven up space. There are many found benefits to having a unique accent wall in your business area, such as boosting creativity in your employees, creating drive, passion and invigorating your clients. Here are some of the ways accent walls can positively benefit your workspace:

Research has shown that certain colors can stimulate the creative juices in employees. For example, green creates a peaceful and relaxing mood, which can be the perfect medium needed for a free-flowing and creative morphing of ideas.
Make Your Employees More Productive

Consider event adding a hint of orange to balance the blue and add warmth.
