How to Make a Workspace Productive Thanks to Art, Wallpaper, and Frescoes

Art, wallpaper, and frescoes can make a workspace productive within a colorful and creative environment

At Beetcommunity in Palermo, art, wallpaper, and frescoes help make the workspace productive through a colorful and creative environment.

To promote engagement, inspire innovation, and boost productivity, the environment is fundamental. How do you make a workspace productive? This article explores how intentional design can transform a work environment into a holistic experience.

Art fosters a sense of community

In a workspace, it's not just about work; exploring art and creativity is essential to generate new ideas. At Beetcommunity, colors, wallpapers, and frescoes created during Palermo’s Liberty period become a source of inspiration and conversation for everyone working there. A member might know a historical reference a visitor doesn’t — this is what we at Beetroot call an opportunity to share and spark new ideas.

Wallpaper and frescoes serve as reference points

Art and background become landmarks for members living in Beetcommunity. It's much more natural for members to identify a meeting spot by the imaginative walls, compared to, for example, the sleeping area with frescoes designed to soothe the mind. "Also, it’s a lot more fun," say Beetcommunity members. The design of walls and ceilings offers a stimulating and artistic experience, an atmosphere rarely found in many offices or homes.

Background art can stimulate conversation and thought during downtime

Visiting Beetcommunity, you immediately notice the colors and artistic details. This is because Beetcommunity’s architects (Tomaso Garigliano and Daniela Dugo) strategically placed artistic spots to create engaging moments. These spaces are shaped to inspire; perhaps a splash of color is exactly what you need to break out of a routine. Discovering a wall of hanging plants relaxing you during brainstorming sessions. The art expressed through wallpaper and frescoes is designed to be consumed in small doses, breaking the day and ensuring that office hours remain stimulating.

We consider the bathrooms a place of relaxation—ideal for disconnecting from work without losing creativity. That’s why we made these spaces colorful and varied. The goal is to mentally and visually disconnect to generate new ideas.

You might also notice wallpaper around Beetcommunity’s printer corners. Such spaces are often overlooked in business settings but are frequently where employees spend their most idle moments waiting for documents to print or copy. Why not make this wait more stimulating? "Dead space can be transformed into a productive space where everyone wants to be." The printer corner becomes, in a way, a destination.

Small moments of surprise and joy are part of Beetcommunity’s world. Offering a solution for work and living spaces to businesses and professionals while ensuring design quality makes Beetcommunity unique; it’s an exciting challenge requiring a clear understanding of the needs each member might have to perform their work at best.
