Colour your office with taste
It is almost Christmas and New Year and we decorate our house. But how does your office or workspace looks like? Not cosy and cold? Too big or too small? Choosing a colour combination for your offices involves more than deciding which curtains you will hang. Some shades have the power to motivate, others to provide a diversion. Besides the general impression and the feeling you get, the combination determines also the productivity in the office. Therefore it is important to ask yourself some questions before you start painting or wallpapering.
Colours are emotions
Have you ever wondered why the phone boxes in Britain are painted red? Well, they are red because the colour attracts attention. But there's more: they keep the phone calls short and the waiting queues are not too long. Red is not the only colour that evokes a certain atmosphere. Bon Bini gives you a list of different colours and their characteristics.
Taste is emotion
If you see a very nice dish, you automatically have a representation of the taste and gastronomic pleasures. But if you taste, you often experience an enormous difference. Dishes which carry a surprise, that's interesting.
BOSS paints leaves the beaten track and comes up with a sensible collection of paint that represents the five basic tastes - sour, salty, umami, sweet and bitter. The five top chefs - Gert De Mangeleer (Hertog Jan), Edwin Vinke (De Kromme Watergang), Sang-Hoon Degeimbre (L’Air du Temps), Roger Van Damme (Het Gebaar) en Dominique Persoone (The Chocolate Line) started with colours and created a unique dish that illustrates this trans boundary concept.
Just as chefs, BOSS paints strives for balance and harmonious combinations that surprise. In this way they want to bring colours closer to people, so they come up with ideas and inspiration from an office or a home. Colours create an atmosphere and they bring your employees in a certain state of mind.

- Do you want a quiet environment or do you need a workplace that encourages you?
- Do you have visitors in the office?
- Or must all the places in your company have the same colour?

But there's more: they keep the phone calls short and the waiting queues are not too long. Red is not the only colour that evokes a certain atmosphere. Bon Bini gives you a list of different colours and their characteristics.
- Blue: creates distance. Makes objects appear smaller and further away. Is perceived as a quiet, restful tone.
- Red: makes objects appear larger and closer. Is a stimulating colour that attracts attention. In large quantities they are oppressive.
- White: is the most neutral colour. Makes the space bigger and makes calm.
- Green: a soothing, neutral colour.
- Orange. provides a pleasant atmosphere to a room.
- Yellow: is a colour with a friendly atmosphere. In combination with orange-yellow for example, creates a very cosy atmosphere.
- Brown: radiates cosiness. Brown walls make a room appear smaller.
- Black: areas are dominate and makes a room smaller. Dark walls absorb light. The result: a dark space has more or stronger lighting needs.
