Day in and day out, warehouse performance look exactly the same. In and out deliveries, stock inventory, maintenance and monitoring, and a wide array of different day-to-day warehouse operations. Warehouse spaces are usually depicted as dull, boring, and uninteresting. Services come and go, interior is the least priority, and employee work efficiency and productivity tend to decrease from time to time. With all these factors, how can you help accelerate warehouse performance or work efficiency and productivity?







According to research, specific wall colors are most likely to affect an employee’s work productivity and mood. If you ever plan on getting a warehouse space for whatever purpose it may serve you, consider getting one with an initial paint rather than a plain, unpainted one. Many warehouse spaces nowadays, like warehouse spaces in Kansas City, can turn over warehouse properties to you with complete and initial designs or paint, so you don’t have to worry about health risks that can be found on unfinished and unpainted walls. With this, interior colors within your warehouse should be considered to increase work performance, eliminate or reduce health risks, and alleviate employee moods.

Reduces Health Risks
Protecting your employees from different and possible health risks should be one of the things to consider when getting a warehouse. Although most paints in the market nowadays are lead-free, some paints still contain a small amount of lead that can cause harm to anyone working within the warehouse. Usually, any establishment that had been built and painted before the year 1978 contain amounts of lead.

Lead can be absorbed in the body; either inhaled, consumed, or ingested. Once lead is absorbed into a human’s body, it can lead to significant health problems that can damage the brain and the kidneys. Although lead is most likely to be harmful to kids, it’s still best to look after your employees’ health, especially those working in hazardous and high-temperature areas. That is why it’s vital to have your warehouse spaces painted with appropriate paint materials and color before commencing operations.

Psychological Effects
Interior paint colors on warehouse spaces are known to have psychological effects on employees and the entire warehouse performance. Colors are typically known to affect employee moods and emotions, which can accelerate work efficiency and productivity. Here is a list of few appropriate wall colors that influences work performance and their meanings:
  • Yellow and Orange - although a bit tricky, yellows and oranges are commonly used paint colors on offices that you can also incorporate to your warehouse. The color usually means happiness and can bring a lot of positive emotions to an individual. However, it can sometimes make people angry, so make sure to just use it as an accent color on either walls or support poles. This makes it noticeable and stands out.
  • Red - the color red is known to increase heart rate and awareness. Using red as an accent color can indicate that you want to draw attention to certain important things like fire or emergency exits, caution, or harmful chemicals.
  • Blue - blue is the most calming color out of all. It can signal peace and relief, which is why it’s commonly used on workplaces to promote a calming and peaceful environment.
  • Green - green is another color that promotes a calm and peaceful environment. However, it also helps eliminate stress and keep employees focused even during long periods of time.

Product Labels and Identification
Paint colors can also help in product identification, especially in warehouses. For example, the color red can signify that certain materials are hazardous and may contain chemicals that are harmful to the body. In the same way, black, white, and red mixed together may indicate that products are flammable and that you should take extra precaution when handling them.

Aisles and Racks
Aisles and racks are an essential part of every warehouse. That is why it’s also important to incorporate paint colors unto these to identify which aisles are passable by forklifts and other transportation, and which ones are not. Neon colors like green and orange are usually the colors used in walkways and racks because these are the most noticeable. It also helps reduce risks of accidents because neon colors are very bright and they serve as safety precautions, especially in warehouses.

Wrapping Up
The overall performance of your warehouse and employees should be your priority. That is why incorporating proper interior colors can greatly influence warehouse work performance and employee productivity and efficiency. Safety is also one of the reasons as to why warehouse interior colors have become so important in the industry today. Not only that, but it also promotes the impression that you care about your employees’ wellness because of how you look after their needs and how to ease up their moods and emotions at work.
