For a calming colour scheme, add wide stripes of nature-inspired blues and greens and earthy neutrals. Plants and natural wooden furnishings are easy ways to complete the soothing feeling. Great tip: use the most neutral colour behind the desk area so that you can change accessories whenever you want to.
