What color should I paint the walls?

My husband is opening a computer store and I don't know what color to paint the walls. I want a color that makes you feel relaxed but not boring looking.





We have a reception desk with fabric on the sides that kind of looks like this color:

here are some pictures of the store:

These are the best pictures I have as of yet and it's kind of cluttered atm, but I was thinking maybe just painting one side of the wall one color? and maybe the other a dark grey? I don't know..The kitchen can be a different color than the main area though.





any help???What color should I paint the walls?
wall color for office shop, + wood marble fabric pattern, carpet is blue steel gray,


the shop appears to have two rooms, those could be different colors to suit what room is used for,





the light cover should be cleaned or replace with new clear sheets for better lighting,

the wood if able re-painted, unless you want 70's wood panel appearance, (ok for some genres, depends on setup)

the EXIT sign appears thumbtacked on, possible replace with light version, and while doing check fire extinguishers and alarms in kitchen area,





once you have store set up, everything is going to smell like plastic shells and electric casing, search for non-smoking neutral air fresheners, but also allergenic or anti mildew,

the color may be best closer to computer colours, like the carpet, white/ blue-gray tint, option to two tone match , maybe do wood tinted colors,

when you think computers, you think windows/ Mac keyboard/ mouse, those generic colours but also colors cmyk/ rgb, those could be implemented into decor,

..What color should I paint the walls?
I would try a sage or darker green to go with that fabric. The kitchen could be a yellow, its suppose to make you happy.
