This Wall Street Journal article about how architecture, design and color can influence our moods was a fascinating read.
My office at work is painted a deep heirloom tomato red, which supposedly boosts critical thinking and attention to details, according to journalist Jonah Lehrer. My room/office at home is painted a beautiful sky color, almost a pale periwinkle, and supposedly boosts creativity. The best of both worlds!
What color is your office? Do you notice a difference in how you think depending on where you work? What do other colors make you feel? I’d love to know!

Great article! This has me thinking about a redesign for my workspace. Yellow and blue, for a little sun and sky, maybe?

Hooray Jo 🙂
Yeah, I think blue and yellow would work nicely over there! DO IT.

Thanks for sharing this article. I’ve been preaching about this concept (and feng shui) for years! Our environments make all the difference.

It’s so true! I’m lucky I work in an office where that has been taken into account 🙂
