FROM DREARY TO DREAMY

Whether your home-office or general office needs redesigning, these tips can be applied to any working environment that you’re in.

Spending 40+ hours in the same seat can get pretty tiresome, so adding that extra little something will help to create a more productive (or just pretty) work space!

Organisation

Calendars, matching stationery and coloured pens are all things that create an aesthetically pleasing work environment.

By organising your tasks and meetings on a clearly set out calendar and using different colours for different events, you can reduce the feeling of stress and instead increase your creativity and productivity!

Colour-coding your commitments can help you to reflect on your priorities and make the whole idea of work/life balance a lot easier to mange! Plus, we can’t lie, we all love a great selection of coloured pens to choose from.

Lighting

You may or may not be sat by a window, with the natural daylight, already, but either way, a bit of warm lighting can add a touch of homeliness to your desk.

Brightening up the area around you with some fairy lights, a soft lamp, or a neon sign (the ultimate instagramable look) can all create a more positive space for you to work in.

Photos

We all have those photo frames that are sitting in the loft collecting dust, right? It’s time to dig them out and put your favourite friends or family photo on your desk to put a smile on your face whenever you start work.

We can all agree, especially on those down days, that a photo of your pets will remind you of the fond memories in life, and get you looking forward to your return home in the evening.

Equally, an inspirational quote can give you the boost you need to succeed through the days that drag the most.

Up your coffee game

Get yourself your own mug and your own personal coaster to make that daily coffee a little bit more enjoyable.

Switching up your drink choice can also create some fluidity in your working days, so buy some different flavoured teas and some syrups for your coffee for some extra taste bud excitement!

get in touch with nature

Bringing natural and organic elements into your work space will leave you feeling Zen.

Making use of those empty shelves or windowsill spaces with a cute cactus will instantly make your desk look more attractive and increase your productivity.

Succulents are a great choice as they don’t need too much care and they don’t contain pollen (you don’t want to irritate your office mates with allergies).

So, what are you waiting for?

Get yourself a new mug and search for a new stationary set to make your work space a more enjoyable and productive place to be.
