Hi all,
This is my office. Since the pandemic started our company has opted to implement more flexible working arrangements and I’m lucky to have the option to work from home more often. I moved my tank upstairs in December and since then it has been an absolute pleasure to manage and watch my plants mature. Water changes don't interrupt the living spaces and I can spin my chair and just observe for a moment, Its very nice to have something in my work office that allows me to switch my mind set.
I have bought a nonbranded 60 cm Optiwhite aquarium so the flex will be replaced at some point in late summer. Before this happens I want to paint the room and install some lights on the aquarium side wall to allow me to keep indoor plants. The window is facing east so that corner is as shaded as it gets.
I would like to opinions on the colour scheme for the room please? I was considering a light blue for the office side and maybe pure white for the aquarium wall? Maybe a curved line or some simple pattern to blend the transition between the two spaces on the window wall?
I have about 190 cm to play with so the new 60cm will go in the middle of this space with a plant/plants or shelves with plants on the right hand side in the corner. A wall mounted spot light with appropriate bulb above.
Any ideas or suggestions welcome. Pictures even better.
