Art in Your Home Office Enhances Happiness, Productivity, and Well-being

Natasha Johl August 22, 2024

Today, more of us are working from home than ever before. Whether you've carved out a small corner of your living room or dedicated an entire room as your home office, we all want to work in a space that promotes productivity and well-being. One simple way to achieve this is by incorporating inspiring wall art into your workspace. Not only does it enhance the aesthetics of your office space, but it also has tangible benefits for your mental health and productivity, making it a wise investment.

The Power of Art in the Workplace

A recent study commissioned by the Affordable Art Fair, in partnership with YouGov, reveals the significant impact that artwork can have in the workplace. Shockingly, 50% of Brits who work indoors reported having no artwork in their workspace, and 65% said they couldn't see any art from their desk. However, nearly a third (29%) believe that artwork should be installed in workplaces to improve productivity, ranking it higher than other popular workplace amenities like sleep pods, ping pong tables, and beanbags.

But the benefits of art in the workplace go beyond aesthetics. According to the study, 27% of workers with art in their office said it makes them feel happier, while interestingly, 21% reported feeling more peaceful. Additionally, almost a fifth of respondents believe that introducing art into offices provokes creative discussion, which is important for brainstorming and problem-solving.

5 Reasons Why You Should Add Wall Art to Your Home Office

  1. Art Enhances Productivity

Creating a home office space that you enjoy can significantly boost your productivity. Blank, dull walls can lead to an uninspiring and monotonous environment. By adding art, you bring into your home office colour and energy, improving not only the atmosphere but also your mood. Choose art which you find uplifting and refreshing, and not overly distracting to maintain focus while still enjoying the visual appeal. 


2. Art Inspires Creativity

Art has the power to spark inspiration. This is why you often see motivational quotes or vibrant artwork in both home and corporate offices. If you find yourself stuck in a creative rut, consider adding artwork with inspiring images that resonate with you. These pieces of art can serve as a constant source of motivation and creativity, great for when a creative block sets in.

3. It Reduces Stress

Stress is often an inevitable part of work, but your work environment can play a role in managing it. Art can be a powerful tool in reducing stress, as studies have shown that viewing or engaging with art can lower cortisol levels, the hormone responsible for stress. Take some time to identify the types of art that calm you, such as serene landscapes or abstract pieces with soothing colours. Surrounding yourself with these images can make your home office a peaceful sanctuary, making workdays more enjoyable.

4. Art leverages colour psychology

Colour psychology is a concept about how the colours used in a space, design or artwork can influence how people feel and behave. This same principle applies to your home office decoration. When selecting wall art, consider the colours and how they might affect your mood and motivation. For example, blue and green hues are known to have a calming effect, while red can be energising and inspire action. Choose art with colours that align with the atmosphere you want to create in your workspace. You can also incorporate your brand colours into your office design and artwork.

5. Art in offices boosts happiness

Research has shown that being surrounded by art can increase happiness, with the psychological effects of viewing art comparable to those of experiencing love. When selecting wall art for your home office, choose pieces that genuinely make you happy and bring a smile to your face. This can have a profound impact on your overall mood, helping you start each workday on a positive note.

Making Your Home Office a Productive Sanctuary

As more of us continue to work from home, it's crucial to optimize our home office spaces for maximum productivity and well-being. Decorating your office walls with art is a simple, cost-effective way to achieve this. The study mentioned earlier also identified the most desirable types of artwork for offices:

A photograph of a landscape (35%)

A painting of a landscape (33%)

An abstract painting (25%)

Textile artwork (14%)

A large sculpture (14%)

These findings highlight the importance of incorporating art into work environments. As Dr. Harriet Shortt, an expert on workplace environments, explains, "It’s the little things in our workplace environments that can have a big, positive impact on the everyday lives of those that work there – and artwork has a huge role to play in this." She emphasises that artwork makes workers feel happier, more peaceful, and more creative.

In today's fast-paced working world, where innovation and adaptability are key, investing in art could be a valuable way to inspire your workforce and foster creative discussions. And for those of us working from home, it's a simple yet powerful way to enhance our own productivity and well-being. So, as you design or update your home office, don't overlook the impact that well-chosen wall art can have on your work life.

Choosing the right artwork

Art photography can uplift the energy of your workspace, enhancing happiness and creativity. With thoughtful and loving planning and the right layout, your office can quickly become your creative and mental sanctuary.
