Revamp Your Workspace...

Rid yourself of monotony & get out from behind your desk... to go get key simple pieces to bring life & inspiration to your work area!  Start fresh by ridding yourself of clutter & begin with a clean slate...



For so many of us, the routine of sitting behind our desks all day leaves us lethargic & unenthused!  Try adding a couple dominant features to your work area & watch your attitude change & your motivation be regained!  Start by adjusting your office space to accommodate as much natural lighting as possible!  Add basic drapery if you have the means & spruce up any office space with decorative window treatments...


For most people, the luxury of windows or even a pocket of outdoor light is unheard of, so let's work with what we have!  Bring a lamp to add new lighting to your space.  A fun new lamp camp bring light to any dull work space & if you already have a lamp, try switching out the light bulb for a softer, more subtle & relaxed luminescence...


Give your tush some lovin' & replace your basic office chair!  If a standard chair is required within your office, add some vibrancy to your space with a patterned cushion.  If you are not required to have a standard chair, I highly suggest a chic pattern of a modern day winged-back chair! YOU be the Queen of YOUR office...


Another way to bring life & light to a featureless work space would be a character rug!  Bright colors, bold patterns, small, big,  frills or matte.. find a way to bring out your unique style with a simple area rug for your office...


If all of these ideas seems impractical & unfeasible to you right now, start small.  It is amazing what a vase of fresh flowers can do for any space!  Go to your local farmers market & sniff away to find the flower that makes you say, "Ahhhh :)"  My absolute favorite flowers are Peonies & I cannot wait until they are in season! All of my spaces will be covered in different shades of Peonies!  If your office has rules about scents & people allergic, go with fake flowers.  They may seem dull,  but liven them up by placing them in a mason jar, with different stones, & a bow adorned around the jar!


My ultimate favorite thing to do to revamp my office space is to create and inspiration board of 'things' I am loving right this moment!  Whether it was an advertisement of an awesome pair of heels that I tore out of a magazine while waiting at the Dentists office, or a pattern that excited me while at a fabric store... every bit of inspiring happiness that I come across gets tacked to my inspiration board behind my desk!  Try one for yourself, you cannot go wrong with this, in fact, I change mine out when I no longer am inspired by those things! What inspires you...?


Fact of the matter is, do not get stuck in a monotonous routine of black & white in your office space! Everyone deserves to find some daily inspiration & add life to their work space!
