Just because it’s a place where you have to get work done doesn’t mean it has to be completely devoid of character! Personalising your workspace can actually help you focus more on your work. Add photos of your loved ones, an artwork, make a mood board or surround it with inspirational quotes. If you have a view, position your desk to face it instead of facing the door or a wall. It will give your eyes a rest from staring at a screen and give you something else to focus on.

ORGANISATION IS KEYAs much as we try to avoid it, clutter in a personal workspace seems to follow us. Too much clutter can affect the way we work as we'll keep getting distracted by everything that’s going on around us. The best and most productive workspace is one that’s organised - with proper storage and everything belonging where it should. This way, you’ll spend less time trying to find things and rifling through hundreds of paperwork - don’t let yourself get trapped in this procrastination hole! Storage is often overlooked when it comes to workspace ideas because we just want to make our desk look appealing. Consider your workflow and make sure to include enough shelves, cabinets and storage boxes.

There are many options you could play around with to see which one suits you the best - whether it be colouring a wall or having a wallpaper, having different materials and textures, colourful rug and decor, etc.
