How to Spruce up Your Hudson Valley Home Office With Paint

Kim Williams, VP of Retail Operations at Williams Lumber, reveals how the right hues can turn your home workspace into a positive, productive place.

Still working from home, Hudson Valley? Whether you’re back in the office full time or you’re logging in remotely every day of the workweek, or you’re doing a bit of both, it’s important to have a home office space that’s positive and welcoming. For a nearly instant fix, consider sprucing up your office with a bright and cheery coat of paint. At Williams Lumber & Home Centers, we carry the largest selection of Benjamin Moore paint colors in the Hudson Valley. Our pros are always ready to offer advice on how to upgrade your space with a new hue just for you.

Nice and Neutral

If you love a good neutral, you can’t go wrong with a natural, calming shade for your office. Choose a color that’s easy on the eyes, such as Benjamin Moore’s Thunder AF-685, Collingwood OC-28, or Simply White OC-117. Once the walls are primed and painted, inject a few simple pops of color into the room via accessories and artwork.

Elegant Color

You may want your office to be simple and streamlined, but that doesn’t mean you have to shy away from color! Instead, stick to hues that align with a neutral color scheme but offer more intensity. For this, muted versions of classic colors work well. Consider paint shades from Benjamin Moore’s Historical or Affinity Color Collections for options that are lower chroma and always elegant.

Hudson Valley Hues

Do the natural panoramas of the Hudson Valley steal your heart? Take inspiration from the region’s natural surroundings and look for paint colors to match. Soft greens are ideal for the home office, since they soothe the eye and promote productivity. A few top picks from Benjamin Moore include Louisburg Green HC-113, Flora AF-470, and Wind Chime AF-465.

Add a Pop

While variations on neutrals may be an easy, breezy solution for many home offices, there’s something to be said for incorporating a pop of color into the room. To do it right without going overboard, keep placement in mind. A statement wall or even the ceiling could be good locations to inject a jolt of color into the room without distracting you from the job at hand. 

Consider exploring Benjamin Moore’s annual Color Trends to find inspiration for which hues to choose. Don’t let the name fool you, these colors might be “trending” but they’re designed to be instant classics and formulated with a durability that lasts.
