A conference room is a sometimes-underrated space in an office building. On the one hand, it's often the place where a business will entertain new clients, but it's also a space where employees are trained, and creativity is sparked — so its importance shouldn't be overlooked. Did you know that the color of the room can make the space even more productive? Learn more about color selection to get the most from your conference room.

Color Should Reflect Values

A company should always think about its core values when it comes to color selection for a conference room. Again, the conference room is an area where plenty of decisions about the business are made, so the color should reflect the goal of the company. 

Take a tech firm, for example. A tech firm that primarily develops software for young children would probably want to go with a color-scheme full of vibrant colors like rich reds and purples. However, a firm that develops medical equipment might choose a more subdued scheme, full of browns or yellows to elicit a more serious tone in the space.

Update Style with Accent Walls

Accent walls aren't just for a home. They are just as stylish for a conference room, especially if the space is small. In a conference room, an accent wall can be fashioned in everything from a wall of words or quotes to a textured wall. However, no matter the design, these walls can add a burst of energy into a room and add a stylish element.

In terms of a small space, an accent wall can add dimension and style to the room without taking up extra space like some other design elements, such as bookshelves and wall décor. 

Think About Lighting Style

Consider the type of lighting that is used in the room to ensure you get the color payoff you'd hoped. If the room has fluorescent bulbs, keep in mind that this light style can dull certain shades of yellow, while deepening hues of blue or green. 

On the other hand, a halogen light can make yellows more intense, while dulling out shades of blue and green. Color under the light in your conference room can look much different than you had expected, so it's always a good idea to use a sample first.
