Pale yellow or antique white (has slight yellow cast to it) is warm, comfortable. Get at least one incandescent or halogen floor lamp for indirect lighting that can be adjusted according to the intensity of light that you need at any time–and a halogen or incandescent desk lamp.
Fluorescent lighting is hard on the eye and the brain. Fluorescent lamps do not give out a steady light, instead they flicker (fluctuate in intensity) at a rate that depends on the frequency of the driving voltage. While this is not easily discernable by the human eye, it can cause a strobe effect posing a safety hazard in a workshop for example, where something spinning at just the right speed may appear stationary if illuminated solely by a fluorescent lamp.

Compared to offices of 20 years ago, the modern office needs a lot more electrical outlets, cable supplies, and places to run cable where it will not impede the flow of people and papers. There may well be less paper flow and somewhat fewer files, depending on what type of redundancy is used to back up electronic records.

I furnished my entire living room, bedroom, and kitchen area with name brand, good condition, used furniture for just over $ 700. What a discount! It's private owner transactions, you should view and check items thoroughly before purchase. There are usually two types of sellers, sellers who WANT to sell because they are upgrading, and sellers who NEED to sell because they are moving. The moving sellers offer the best qualities and prices are usually low enough to make you forget about IKEA. Only downside to this is that more often than not (unless the people offer delivery) you would have to pick the items up yourself.

Well, we don't even know what country you are in or even what size space you are working with. Look for ‘office organizers' in your city by doing a Google search. Expect them to want a small fortune for their ‘consulting' activities. Most of them won't lift a finger -- just charge you an arm-and-a-leg for fancy watercolor drawings and some architectural floor plan IDEAS.
-------------------------
Personally, I would be patient enough to try a few set-ups myself and see which one seems to be most efficient and go with that. Tweak the design as needed from there.
If there is some space that hardly ever gets used, move whatever equipment that is NOT being used out of that space and find a more efficient way to store it. Wash, rinse, repeat -- and then you will have an efficient workspace.

Do it in a sand color that will keep it neutral and then you can use any other colors to accent the office the way you want to.

Here's a tip if your office is in the Birmingham area. A real quality cleaning company there is Adept Cleaning. They cover all aspects of office cleaning from windows and carpets to the usual. The main point is they really do make the effort to impress you with results rather than sales talk.

When a Business is Judged by the Office Design it Should Represent the Business Properly
When someone walks into a business the office design will reflect the first impression that person will have of the business. That reason alone is enough to make sure the office décor presents the image you want it to.
When an office refurbishment is done in a casual style, it gives the impression of a laid-back atmosphere. If an office is decorated in a more elegant style, it emits formality. Because an office is the first impression colleagues and customers have of you, care should be taken when decorating.
The most important thing for you to know is what you want the office design to say about your business. Will it properly depict your business the way you want it to? If you want to do business in a laid-back style, you do not want to decorate the office with elegant furnishings. Make sure the office displays the image you want your business to portray.
An office refurbishment London like would portray a formal style. If one were done San Francisco like, it would be a more casual style. Step back and look at your office the way others see it to make sure it represents you well.
The way the office is designed may seem trivial to a businessperson. If you stop and think about it though, it is the very first encounter most people have with you. What the office portrays may be what entices a colleague or customer to do business with you in the first place.
