Chromotherapy or “color therapy”, is part of alternative medicine. At the basis of this ideology is the idea that the electromagnetic waves contained in the colors generate oscillations in the body cells, with the final result of an improvement in the functioning of the latter.
Color is a fundamental element in furnishing an environment, especially in an office where we spend most of our time. This reasoning can also be exploited in a business context.
The various spaces and their relative color
To take advantage of the benefits of chromotherapy in office furnishings, it is important to choose the right colors that stimulate the most suitable emotions in people with respect to the area of the office in which you are located.
Let’s look, now, what the most recommended colors for the various office areas can be.
The operating area of an office is the nerve center of a company and, therefore, it is necessary to use colors that stimulate creativity and productivity. In this case the most suitable colors are the warm ones, i.e. colors such as red, orange, yellow…
In break areas, i.e. all those areas where you allow yourself a few moments of relaxation and detachment from the exhausting rhythms of the working day, the most recommended colors are the cold ones such as blue and light blue.

This is because these colors promote breathing and relaxation, with the consequent decrease in blood pressure and a much more relaxed return to work.
In a meeting room it is advisable to use colors that can favor inspiration and self-control, characteristics which, according to chromotherapy, belong to the shades of purple.
One piece of advice we want to give you in relation to what has just been said is not to overdose an environment with a single colour, otherwise the risk is to make the environment too oppressive and the result would prove to be counter-productive.
The colors for an office chairs
The choice of color for office chairs is an important element in creating a comfortable and productive environment.
As regards the task office chairs, one could think of using a warm colour, as previously reported in reference to the operating area.
For the executive chair, i.e. the one that usually belongs to the boss, the advice is to use brown and its shades, as it is a symbol of professionalism and authority.

In addition to what was previously stated, however, there is also another common practice, which is that of creating chairs with a corporate colour, or in any case the color used for the company logo, in order to bring a reminder of belonging to a certain reality.
Let’s say that there is no right choice in this sense, but it’s all behind the choice of how the company has chosen to appear and communicate.
