Your office is much like your second home because that’s where you spend half of your day (or most of it if you’re overworked). As such, it needs to be a space that brings you comfort so you can work productively.

If you’re planning to decorate your office, adding magnificent artwork to the interior is the way to go. They’re also likely to cast an impression on your clients once they enter your office space.

Additionally, the refreshing interiors can also boost your team's productivity and motivate them along the way to get more work done.

Here are six pointers on how to choose paintings for your office:

1.  Make it in line with your company’s values

Your office walls must represent your brand, culture, and level of professionalism. For this reason, you must add paintings to the walls that match your industry or profession accurately. The artwork can also act as an icebreaker, allowing you to start the meeting with an image on the wall that exclusively highlights your business's vision.

2. Focus on the colors

Since interior paintings act like your office's brand ambassadors, the painting's colors are a crucial element of consideration. While bright colors are more fitting for a dynamic working environment fueled by speed and agility, subtle colors represent calmness, an ideal setting for thinkers and writers.

3. Get everyone on board

Office art is different than the art you would choose for living rooms and bedrooms. Art is subjective; Ryan Crane says, "Whatever it is, the way you tell your story can make all the difference."

What’s a masterpiece for some might not be as attractive for others. For this reason, it's a good idea to consult your employees regarding their preference through a collective poll.

4. Group small pieces together

If you're having a tough time sticking to one, you can purchase a bunch of small-sized paintings and group them on a wall, making it the room's focal point.

5. But avoid oversized art

Oversized art is best restricted to the bedroom or the living room instead of the office space so as not to overwhelm your employees or clients. Stick to the idea of strong positive emotions only to reduce stress levels.

6.  Abstract art is a YES

Abstract art is engaging, to say the least. It urges its viewers to find a deeper meaning in the colors scattered on the canvas. This makes it an easy add-on to your office wall to help regularize thought-provoking ideas and spark creativity in employees and clients.
