A creative dream office

 

It is not surprising that your workspace is one of the key things affecting productivity and happiness at work. More and more creatives work remotely, from home or in co-working spaces. If your workplace feels temporary or if you have a lot on your plate, it can be hard to prioritise decorating. On the other hand, most of us have seen those Instagram posts and About pages which get us all excited about hand lettering our walls and borrowing a frenchie.

Pool tables and open desks aside, today we will look at some aw-inspiring workspaces and show how you can replicate them. All budgets and styles welcome! We are giant cheerleaders for looking in local charity and antique shops for your finds. Good for the wallet, world and your sense of adventure.

Indulgent botanics

Does a walk in the enchanted forest help you think? This botanic inspired wallpaper and Sandalwood scented candles from Edinburgh Candle Company will make your day. Edinburgh Candle Co is supporting women in long-term unemployment so by making your own office a little nicer, you are also helping others gain new skills that can benefit their work lives.

Bring in some more calm and oxygen with plants, physical and prints. Natural materials and soft furnishings with texture can make the room feel cosy and warm even if you go for minimalism.
