Why Choose Blue Paint for a Home Office?

Many people turn to a blue palette when decorating living spaces and bedrooms, with this timeless colour family instantly promoting calmness and tranquillity. It's for those same reasons that blue makes such a brilliant choice for home offices. 

If you struggle with daily distractions, a home office decked in light blue and neutral furniture can help you concentrate on pressing tasks and urgent deadlines. Even dark shades can be used to create a serene interior. If you're considering a navy home office, think about creating contrast with a single white wall or incorporating multiple blue tones. 

If you're using blue as a primary colour, you're unrestricted when it comes to further decorating and furnishing your space. Have you painted all the walls in a solid navy shade? Complete the look with a wooden desk, a white storage unit and a gold lamp. 

Have you used a lighter hue to paint a small space? Make the most limited square footage by introducing a floating desk and built-in storage units. If you're desperate for more colour, use a darker hue to add an accent wall or paint floating shelves in a medium-blue shade.

Our Favourite Blue Paints for a Home Office

Ready to turn that spare room into a stylish home office that will be the envy of friends and colleagues? We've selected some of our best blue paint colours to help you turn your home office ideas into a reality. 

Some light blues can feel cold and uninviting, but Glacier Y345 will have you rethinking your opinion of the cooler side of the colour palette. 

This light blue is underscored with hints of grey, making it a good choice if you want to create a light and open space. It's also a very versatile colour choice, working just as well in a farmhouse home office as a more contemporary space. 

Decorating with this blue is easy. You can use it to paint whole walls or coordinate with off-whites and tonal blues. To maximise your space, opt for a built-in desk in neutral colours. If your home office is lacking texture, a leather chair and decorative desk lamps make fine finishing touches.

Pastel blues work well in just about any room of the home. However, they're especially practical for home offices. Low-key and unassuming, they'll help you block out daily distractions and focus on what you need to do. 

If you're looking for the perfect pastel blue, go for Forget Me Not H353. This paint colour is surprisingly vibrant for a pastel, meaning you won't find yourself pining for punchy pigment. 

This shade will make a welcome addition to any interior. Use it liberally in smaller spaces or have fun introducing lighter hues to create a more eclectic home office. If you want to create contrast, think about adding subtle orange pastels and metallics into the mix.

Dark blues can work well in home offices, no matter the size or layout of your room. Perfect for designing more modern workspaces, these inky hues are timeless and just the ticket for creating a more grown-up workspace. 

If you're seeking out darker shades, go with Indigo L429. This inky blue can be used in place of navy, providing you with a rich blank canvas. 

Furnish your space with a mid-century desk and minimalist storage to create an awe-inspiring aesthetic. Alternatively, opt for classic contrast with pure white mouldings and furnishings. 

If you work into the evening, a darker blue can help create a calming ambience. To make the most of your wall colour, don't skimp on sconces and secondary lighting. Premium diffusers will also enrich your interiors. 

Blue and green are a dream colour pairing. If you're on the hunt for a paint colour that combines the best of both palettes, consider a shade like Mosaic J367. 

Although unmistakably blue, this paint colour boasts plenty of green character that results in a terrific teal shade. Fresh and invigorating, it scores top marks for style and is ideal for energising a home office. 

A versatile choice, this blue shade can be used as a backdrop for white veneers and neutral furniture alike. Because of its green undertones, it also pairs nicely with indoor plants. Why not deck out your space with succulents and natural materials for a biophilic home office? 

If you have trouble staying focused, calming blues are your best friend. A paint colour like Cumulus Y353 is a suitable choice for anyone who wants to create a serene workspace where daily distractions won't pose a problem. 

Use this shade in spaces with large windows that flood your interiors with sunlight. For a truly tranquil interior, stick to pure whites when painting mouldings, internal doors and window frames. 

Not sure how to furnish your room? Go the traditional route with a white desk and storage or create some contrast with an assortment of wood varieties. 

If this blue isn't bold enough for you, there's plenty of scope for working other tones into the mix. Use a teal or navy for a feature wall or consider styling up your shelving units with a new coat of paint.
