Dull to fun: how to make your home office inspiring…

Workspace, home office, studio or study nook - a spot for a laptop where you catch up on emails & pay the bills, a zone for the kid’s homework & crafting or a home office where you spend most of your time, regardless of how big or how it is used, a designated workspace can be clever & inspiring to bring a little fun to the mundane, my top tips below…

• 1st step in sprucing up this space is to clear clutter - the home office tends to be a breeding ground for useless bits & pieces like old school text books, pens that dont work & electricity bills from 2003, get rid of it all & already the space feels so much lighter.
• Plan storage needs carefully, if you need to invest - don’t buy a piece unless you know exactly how it will be used in your space, choose pieces that have a balance of functionality & style - Ikea is usually my go-to because they have many flexible configurations in each style.
• Open shelving is a great idea - it is practical, providing easy access to items you regularly use & allows you to inject colour/ interest with books & coordinated magazine holders, storage boxes or baskets.
• Have fun with pin up boards, use them to display inspirational quotes, family photos, kid’s drawings or beautiful images torn from your fave mag - anything that makes you happy & inspires you.
• A pot plant is a great addition, greenery never fails to uplift & make you smile.
