It’s estimated that more than 32 Million U.S. workers will work remotely in some capacity through 2026. With the numbers rising, it’s more important than ever to create a dedicated space that inspires you while working from home. To help you achieve this, our design experts have tapped into color theory and pattern psychology to help you pick the best home office wallpaper to boost focus and creativity.
Purple Wallpaper
In color theory, purple strikes a balance between passionate, energetic reds, and calming, tranquil blues. The result is a color scheme that inspires creativity. The color itself has a stimulating effect, ideal for provoking artistic thoughts.
Adorning your office with a shade of purple is recommended if you’re in a creative profession, such as art, photography, content creation, design or marketing. Purple wallpaper ideas for the home office include an Abstract Color Landscape in Lilac and Mauve, which would introduce the inspiring color scheme without overwhelming, or Birds of Paradise in Pacific Blue, which has just enough purple detail to activate your creative center!
Blue Wallpaper
Also inspiring, blue brings with it an innate sense of calm and tranquility. This strikes a wonderful balance for sparking creativity and also locking in on being productive. In fact, it’s been found that blue in general helps to generate ideas, while darker shades of blue help in problem solving and decision making, and lighter shades of blue can help to increase focus and productive performance.
Based on these insights, if you are a manager or executive who makes constant decisions daily, we would recommend these darker blue wallpaper ideas for your home office: Metallic Bloom in Beautiful Blue, Bird Watching by Cynthia Rowley in Midnight Navy, or Painted Forest Wall Mural in Cosmic Blue. For general creativity and increased focus, calming prints such as Layered Palm Faux Grasscloth in Steel Blue or Faux Burlap in Ocean Mist will make inspiring additions.
Yellow Wallpaper
If you’re trying to be more confident in your role this year, yellow wallpaper may be a great addition to your home office. Yellow is an optimistic color that stimulates and energizes. It’s wonderful for high-energy spaces. Try adding a yellow accent wall with Feather Palm in Golden Mustard or Homestead Floral in Metallic Marigold.
Fractal Pattern Wallpaper
One study found that fractal patterns, which are self-repeating patterns often found in nature, improve individuals’ mental processing power, creativity, attention to detail and interactions. Thus, wallpaper featuring fractal patterns are wonderful for setting the stage for serious productivity in home offices. Fine details like those found in Farmhouse Botanical would be a great wallpaper scheme to add in this vein.
