A few basic points to consider before deciding about the design of a creative office room.

2. Key aspects to consider
when designing an
innovative/creative room

3. 1. Colour

4. 1. Colour
• Yellow - if you want creativity (affects emotion): “It takes guts to be
creative and come up with something new – that’s why yellow works
in that environment.”
• Red - if you want to be more productive doing something physical.
• Green - a strong sense of balance is the most important, green might
just be the colour that makes you the most productive.
• Blue - if you need to stimulate your mind, then blue would likely
make you the most productive.
• Pink - reduces aggression

5. The highly-saturated colours are much more stimulating than their
respective lowly-saturated counterparts.

6. 3. Shape
Furniture - curved and rounded.
Round shapes = linked with positive emotions and freedom,
which is known to be beneficial for creativity and
productivity.
Supports thinking outside the box/usual patterns.

7. 4. Shape
Open shapes & flowing lines = create dynamics
in this way helping to open the mind to new ideas
Whereas angular shapes & consistent patterns
invite subconscious to “follow the rules”.
E.g., have you ever felt that you should avoid
stepping on the borders of the square tiles?

8. 5. Nature
Plants bring sense of calmness & peaceful atmosphere.
Their presence helps to connect to oneself.

9. 6. Use what you already have
Use things in ways they were not initially created for!
The typical use of Post-it notes Unusual way to use the same Post-it’s

10. 7. Practical yet creative
Wall/glass stickers – add colour
and dynamics to the office
Post-it notes purpose
Bookshelves can be more
than just bookshelves
