Your workspace can improve your productivity.

Your workspace impacts your work ethic. If you’re staring at a chaotic mess of wires and old mugs, you’re not going to feel motivated.
It's time to ditch the clutter and create an inspiring, aspirational aesthetic for the days that you work from home. And if you permanently work from home, then this is especially important.
This isn't about buying all-new furniture; it's about making smart, visual changes.
We’ve shared a couple of clips of fantastic workspaces, and they all have one thing in common: they look incredibly peaceful and productive.
You can capture that vibe by focusing on three key elements that instantly elevate a space.
First, light is everything
Position your desk to maximise natural light. If you can’t face a window, add some mood lighting. A small LED strip behind your monitor or a sleek, modern desk lamp.
Good light makes the space feel bigger and instantly better for your mood.
Second, bring in life
A study shows plants can boost productivity.
Even a single succulent, snake plant, or small vase of fresh flowers adds a pop of colour and freshness.
Greenery tricks your brain into feeling more relaxed and focused.
Finally, the art of organisation
Nothing kills an aesthetic faster than messy cables.
Use cable ties or sleeves to hide those wires. Invest in stylish drawer organisers or minimal trays for your pens and small supplies.
A productive day starts with an intentional space.
You don't need a renovation. All you need are a few well-chosen accessories and a commitment to keeping it clean.
