As I design my own new home office space, one of the visual cues I decided to use was to change the main focus color of the space from blue to red. Red combined with black and white are primal colors that pull at our base. As infants, the first colors that the human eye can see are these three colors. Eventually, the others are added to the pallet. Perhaps that is why I find this color combination soothing and helpful as I work.
This is not my personal office, but the composition of this space along with the functional desk, fabulous clock, lovely fabrics and comfortable chair inspires me. I hope it will inspire you as well.
No Wasted Ink 
I love those colors, Wendy! I was lucky enough to have red, black, and white for my middle school AND high school colors. 🙂
You had great colors for your schools! I find this combo to be very cheerful. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by the blog. 🙂
I have visions of a nice writing space…unfortunately i can’t find a desk that matches these visions, or chair, or house!
LOL You just have to keep at it, painter. I’m on my fourth or fifth office incarnation. It always seems to be a growing, organic sort of process. 🙂
It looks like a great space – my preference is fall/autumn colors for my muse to feel most comfortable but maybe a dash here & there of primary colors would be cool too. Have fun creating your writing locale.
Nothing wrong with fall/autumn colors at all! Whatever makes us feel comfortable and creative is the right way to go. Thanks for stopping by the blog. 🙂
Nice and bright!
I agree, I love this color combination. 🙂 Nice to see you here, Renee. 🙂
Beautiful colors. Although I’d prefer a cozier chair lol
