For many, working from home has long been part of everyday life. But when the dining table becomes a think tank and the living room turns into a part-time office, it takes more than just coffee, ergonomic furniture and good intentions. After all, clear thoughts and creative ideas can only emerge in an environment that offers sufficient tranquillity and structure.
Light, colours and materials, in particular, influence how focused we are whilst working. And this applies above all to the walls surrounding the workspace. When thoughtfully designed, wall surfaces create an atmosphere that fosters both creativity and concentration in equal measure. Delicate shades of green, such as sage or eucalyptus, for example, bring the tranquillity of nature into the home. This instils a sense of calm when stress levels rise amidst emails and meetings. Sand and cream tones provide greater clarity and make rooms appear more spacious without seeming cold. Subtle bursts of energy can be achieved with muted shades of blue or petrol: they add targeted accents and boost concentration. Combined with delicate surface textures, this creates an environment that helps to organise your thoughts – even if your office space is just a nook in your living room or bedroom.
And what about putting it into practice? It’s quite simple: with Erfurt’s embossed non-woven wallpapers, you can create an inspiring workspace in no time at all, perfectly combining style and function. The versatile embossed patterns of the non-woven fabric add depth to any wall and create subtle accents. This adds texture to the room whilst still maintaining a cosy feel. What’s more: thanks to the wall-adhesive technique, these crack-bridging, scratch-resistant non-woven wallpapers are easy to apply yourself. They can then be colour-coordinated – as required – with calm tones or deliberate contrasts. For those who prefer a particularly straightforward approach, the Vliesfaser Colour range even offers pre-coloured textures in eight stylish shades. The range also impresses when it comes to healthy living: the breathable wall coverings are completely free from PVC, plasticisers and other harmful substances. This creates a healthy indoor climate that promotes both concentration and well-being. Full details on Erfurt Vliesfaser, along with creative ideas for wall design, can be found at www.erfurt.com.
