I love watching television shows that involve flipping houses. I get a lot of ideas about design for my own home. I also get ideas about designing my offices. Have you ever thought about how to design your office? Creating a safe space begins with designing an office that feels or exudes warmth and tranquility. When creating your space, choose colors that reflects your brand, clientele, and niche. For example, if you specialize in seeing children, primary colors are the best (i.e., red, blue, green, yellow, etc.). If you specialize in working with men, warm tones like brown and blue, as well as wood textures work best. Also, consider all the five senses when designing your office space. What will your clients see, smell, hear, taste, and feel/touch? What type of wall hangings will you choose? Textures, smooth lines, soft music, subtle scents, and gentle music, all convey a message before your first session with your clients. So give it some thought, what message do you want your clients to receive when they enter your space? Use that as your guide and release your creativity!
