Make your study a hive of creativity

Colours can have a powerful effect on your mood, emotions and concentration, which is why choosing the right colour in your workspace is so important. Some theorists even believe that certain colours, like orange, can have a direct impact on your concentration and productivity. It’s been said that orange increases the oxygen supply to the brain, which stimulates mental activity, making it a fabulous colour for studies and home offices.

Even small pops of bright colour could make a difference to your creativity and productivity. If orange walls aren’t your thing, use vibrant colours like tangerine or pumpkin in moderation or you could try earthier hues like terracotta, apricot and coral. Use these zippy shades to create an eye-catching feature wall or paint unexpected places, like inside bookshelves, for a dramatic effect.
