Collection: Eco-friendly paint for offices

We're spending more and more time at home, and new ways of working from home often require a change in our interiors, especially our offices. It's therefore important to consider the paint and color you're going to use on your walls.

Choose a natural satin paint

Like many rooms in your home, you'll likely spend a lot of time in your office, which is why choosing the right paint for your walls shouldn't be underestimated before you start painting.

Firstly, the choice of paint must be based on two criteria: the qualitative aspect but also the environmental aspect.

For your health, it is important to choose the healthiest paint possible, releasing a low level of VOCs

Algo paints meet these criteria with an ecological paint made from algae and releasing very few VOCs.

The other real advantage is its lack of odor, which will allow you to use your office very quickly.

Beyond the consideration of paint, the finish is also a criterion to take into account.

If all finishes are suitable, you should know that the matte will be less silky and aesthetic.

We recommend choosing a satin or velvet finish if you want a more intermediate finish.

The choice of finish also has consequences on the maintenance of the paint: in fact, velvet and satin are finishes that are more washable than matte, which will be beneficial to you in the long term.

Remember to prepare the walls of the room if your office walls are already painted and use a primer coat to ensure the finish paint adheres.

What color should I use in my office?

The choice of colors should not be neglected, especially in an office, where it can affect mood and creativity.

The color applied in the workspace is therefore crucial, to make the most of the work sessions spent in the office.

To help you better, we offer you a list of colors applicable in an office, it is good to take into account the furniture already present in your office to obtain a harmonious result.

Green and blue for concentration

Green and blue are two colors known for their serenity. In a professional setting, blue hues are favored for productivity and creativity. It's also a key color conducive to concentration.

Among the blues that make up our color chart, duck blue, charming blue or even seaside blue are colors suitable for an office.

The latter being a deep, intense and trendy color, seaside blue will accompany your work sessions while promoting creativity.

Green is calming and, as such, is one of the most popular colors for the office. It's a color particularly known for aiding reflection.

Of all our shades of green, we can recommend the soothing sea green: which perfectly sums up the function of green in such a space.

White: synonymous with simplicity

Purity and simplicity are the key words for white. While there may be a risk of creating a neutral, unremarkable atmosphere, keep in mind that it's the brightest color in the color chart and, therefore, a color that makes a space feel larger.

Yellow and red to promote creativity

If you want to improve your creativity, then yellow or red are great alternatives!

Yellow will stimulate your innovation, and red will stimulate energy.

When using red, however, you must be careful about its use, which is recommended in small touches.

Indeed, overuse can generate tension.

Whether you're working from home or simply carrying out administrative tasks, your office should be a welcoming workspace that complements your existing interior design.
