Ideas & Concepts: wall color for office?

hello all,

we will soon move into our very own office space and i was wondering if you could give me free advice on what wall colors to choose.

i really like color, but as you can see our present office (rented) is so blah. the owner of the building does not allow us to paint the walls.

i hear that color can help increase productivity. any ideas?

i'm thiking of making the office really colorful (like an ad agency's office). maybe i can paint each area/room different?

here's the planned layout of our new office:

there's are two big window right behind the two offices (one for me and one for my partner)

by the way, our chairs are orange (yayks). we plan to reuse the chairs.

any *free* ideas PLEASE? :)

I think bright green makes me feel energized.

Check out my website and our color green.

To stay on the ad agency topic, I went through all of the agency profiles on

Motivational sayings all over the wall.

Turf as their carpet.

Maybe you could coat all of your walls in a glossy substance so you can write on them like whiteboards, ceiling to floor.

thanks so much travis!!

you could be right about using super white walls and just making other objects pop out. now i'm reconsidering.

we'll probably start painting by end-march (we're due to move in by april). i will try to post pictures here.

do any of you have nifty offices you care to show me (for ideas)?

thanks again :) by the way your site is very cool
