December leaves a mark on workplaces—holiday traffic, winter boots, and end-of-year crunch time. By February, most teams are ready for a clean reset. If you’re weighing office painting priorities in Indianapolis,
Walla Painting helps businesses plan smart, low-disruption upgrades that make everyday spaces feel fresher fast.
Start Where It Shows
You don’t need to repaint the entire office to improve employee experience. You just need to start in the places that get used the hardest.
Restrooms: Quick Win
Restrooms are small, high-visibility spaces. Scuffs, humidity, and daily cleaning can quickly make walls look tired. A fresh coat here signals “we care” without shutting down the whole floor.
Break Rooms: Morale Boost
Break rooms are where people recharge. When the walls look worn, the space feels…less relaxing. A break room refresh is also easy to phase in (one wall at a time or after hours) to keep the team moving.
Cubicles and Halls: High-Traffic Wear
Cubicle zones and hallways take constant friction—chairs, carts, backpacks, deliveries. In our process, we specifically list cubicles, kitchens, break rooms, and restrooms as common office areas we paint, and work around obstacles with minimal disruption to operations.
Paint Without Pausing Work
If you want a practical sequence, try this:
- Restrooms first (small footprint, big impact)
- Break room next (boosts morale quickly)
- Cubicles/corridors in sections last (keeps teams working)
That order also makes scheduling easier—especially if you can’t close the office.
Keep Odors Low
Occupied-space painting isn’t just about neat edges. It’s also about air comfort. Our team uses low- or zero-VOC paints and cordons off areas to minimize disruption and odor during commercial projects. It’s worth considering because the
EPA notes that indoor VOC levels can be higher than outdoor levels, and some paint-related activities can spike VOC levels substantially during and shortly after the work.
