The Color of Your Office Furniture Tells Visitors a Lot About Your Company

If you have customers or clients come to your office, its appearance matters. It does not make a difference whether you work in finance, car repair, law, or medicine – making a positive first impression is critical to your success.

There are many factors that play a role in how visitors will perceive your business and some of them are more obvious than others. One that most people overlook is the color of their office furniture.  Different colors and styles of furniture can make vastly different impressions on your potential clients or customers, so you should take care to make sure you are projecting the image that you want. The information below is designed to help you get started thinking about how the color of your furniture will represent your business.

Modern, Contemporary Colors

Furniture colors like mocha and espresso paired with metallic hardware and accents create a modern, cutting-edge look. Generally speaking, darker modern furniture should be paired with lighter design elements like colorful art or lighter-colored carpet.

Light, Rustic Colors

Using furniture in colors like oak and walnut can give your office a cozy “cabin” feel that can make visitors feel relaxed and at home. Generally, this type of furniture gives off a more casual atmosphere, so if you work in a traditional or formal industry, it may be best to avoid it.

Classic Dark Colors

When you think of the office of a successful law firm or banker, you probably image classic dark furniture made from cherry, maple, or mahogany. These richly colored pieces are often equated with success and add an air of formality and tradition to any office setting. In addition, dark office furniture often has a timeless appeal and can establish a sense of continuity with the past, which is important for some long-standing businesses. Before you rush to buy classic dark furniture, however, make sure that your office has sufficient natural light.
