2 . Choose your desk wisely
Gone are the days where a pop up camping table ‘ will do for now ’, it ’ s time to find a more robust solution . At the same time , no one wants to feel like they ’ re at work all the time , so finding a desk that fits nice and subtly in your room rather than at the centre of it is essential . You could do this by purchasing a corner desk that fits the shape of your room . That way , after the workday is done , your desk is almost unnoticeable . Out of sight , out of mind .
Don ’ t be afraid to get creative with colour for your desk too . Because colour can influence our mood . You could purchase a vibrant yellow desk , or one that is splashed with paint for a more creatively inspiring solution . Also , if you have a picture that is bursting with colour or a cushion that is an impressively bright shade , surround yourself with these objects .
3 . Plants and productivity
Other than adding a splash of greenery and life to the concrete jungle that is an office space , studies such as those by Amos Beech , ( www . amosbeech . com ) find that your productivity can increase by 15 per cent when you add plants as décor . Plants are also proven to help decrease levels of anxiety , improve attentiveness , and heighten concentration .
There are many creative ways you can add plants to your office spaces . Whether it ’ s a cactus or aloe vera plant you place on your desk , an ivy vine plant to contrast against a plain wall , or a bouquet of flowers you replace weekly , adding plants to your office spaces can benefit your daily mood and motivation at work .
