Answer 1

What colour are the furnishings..desks, cabinets etc.  When you say "dark" floors are they oak or mahogany or what?  This all has a bearing,  As an Interior Decorator, it is difficult to advise without all the information but I will try to offer a few suggestions.  Also, what is the business being carried on in the office?  Is it primarily for the staff or will customers be coming into the area as well?

Answer 2

I would go with a medium shade of gray blue for the walls with white trim and a white ceiling. It is a traditional choice that will project an image of calmness and trustworthiness to your clients.

Whether your clientele is primarily commercial or residential, you can use a large area rug in a traditional oriental pattern (traditional luxury) or a more modern contemporary style (cutting edge modern bldgs.) depending on the properties you market. At least one framed piece of art and a couple of distinctive accessories to coordinate with the traditional or modern theme will make the office complete.

If the white trim is a cold stark white now, I would repaint it in a slightly warmer white as I would the ceiling. Not cream at all, but not hospital white either. Good luck!!  

Answer 3

I would have to ask you what type of furniture are you putting in?  Dark, or light wood, modern metal, etc.  If you can clarify that we can put together a color scheme.

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think "majestic purple" (# 6545) might be a great color choice.

You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
