Creating a Study Space with Neutrals
Now that many of us are working from home, it’s more important than ever to have a designated workspace that offers calm and creativity. An inviting space away from the day-to-day household activity where productivity can be easily achieved.
Create an inspiring office space using neutral, natural colours.

Our capsule collection, ‘Stone’, offers a versatile palette of natural colours. These shades are designed to bring warmth, tranquillity, timelessness and harmony that will inspire a calm ambience in the home, perfect for home working.
For richer, more luxurious neutral shades, our ‘Sweet Treats’ palette is perfect for creating cosy, enveloping interiors that appeal to all the senses. Choose colours like Mochi to create a contemporary, coordinated office space in your home.
Little Greene, Creative Director, Ruth Mottershead says:
‘Whilst our at-home work spaces need to be functional, they also need to reflect our personal tastes to help keep us engaged and motivated, without being distracting. Whether your office space is within a separate room or simply a corner within a space, making a focussed area can be made easier with the use of colour and pattern. A shade like ‘Castell Pink’ is very versatile and allows you to add deeper accents to help zone areas and add interest; consider the warm, Elizabethan red ‘Arras’ on doors or woodwork or perhaps the earthy ‘Nether Red’ ‘on skirting, to help ground the space. This type of colour blocking effect uses colours with similar undertones to create an inviting contemporary scheme.’

In classic interiors, earthy shades - particularly browns - have been used for practical purposes, in kitchens or sculleries of historical homes. However, rich neutral shades can create restful, enticing spaces in the modern home. By creating an atmosphere of warmth in your home study, the space will become an enjoyable area to spend your working day.
