\n

Whether you work from home or in an office, we often spend more time in our work office than anywhere else so making it a pleasant working environment is key. Creating an environment that people want to work in can have an effect on the output and quality of work they complete. Artwork can help with this! Discover how displaying art in the workplace can have a positive effect on your employees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Helps To Reduce Stress\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The office can be associated with a stressful place and the wellbeing of your employees is very important. Displaying artwork in the office can help to reduce stress and keep people more engaged. Rather than being a distraction, artwork can help you feel more relaxed in what can be a stressful, high-pressure environment. If people are more relaxed and less stressed, your employees will be happier and this can improve employee retention rates. Think about framing your artwork in <\/span>coloured picture frames<\/span><\/a> to add a burst of colour to your office space to brighten up everyone’s day. Pick colours that have positive associations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Encourages Creativity\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"artwork<\/p>\n

Artwork can provide creative inspiration and inspire creative thinking in the workplace. Anything from abstract artwork to paintings with vibrant colours can stimulate fresh ideas and give your employees a creative spark. Spending all day in a room with blank walls won’t offer much inspiration. This applies to an office with your employees or in an office in your home. <\/span>White picture frames<\/span><\/a> will complement any piece of art. Frame your artwork in a white picture frame to allow the artwork to draw all of the observer’s attention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Increases Productivity\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Employees’ moods can have a big effect on their performance. A positive mood can improve workplace productivity. A study by the <\/span>University of Exeter<\/span><\/a> found productivity increased by 17% for people working in art-enriched spaces and participants were 32% more productive when sitting at a desk where they were allowed to design the area. Adding art to the office is an easy way to boost productivity. Artwork can help to boost the mood of the office which can lead to people being happier, increasing productivity. Encourage your employees to get creative with their desk spaces to boost productivity even more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inspires Social Interactions\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Team<\/p>\n

Artwork around the office can be a great conversation starter, encouraging social interaction around the office. A study of the <\/span>impact of art in the workplace<\/span><\/a> found that 1 of the 5 main ways art impacted the workplace was that art promoted social interactions. Think about placing pieces of art in communal office areas like break rooms, the kitchen and meeting rooms. This is a great way to bring different departments together to share ideas and get to know each other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Communicate Your Brand Image<\/span><\/h2>\n

As a company you can use artwork to communicate your brand image and key brand messages. Showcase your business’s identity through the artwork you display in your office. This can showcase your brand colours and brand values in a nonverbal way. An art installation of your logo and branded murals are just some of the ways you can use art to communicate your brand image. This can help you create a lasting impression on anyone visiting your office from clients to potential clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A fun idea to get your employees involved in communicating your brand image is getting them to create a piece of art that shows how they interpret the business’s values. You can then create a gallery wall by framing all the different interpretations and make a feature wall for all of your visitors to see. Use a range of <\/span>different picture frame styles<\/span><\/a> to create a unique feature gallery wall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
