It’s hard to believe Labor Day has come and gone! September brings the feeling of getting down to business. Summer makes it easy to postpone projects, make sangria, or talk a walk outside. When fall rolls around, schedules return to their places: school gets started, performing arts seasons open, and football again graces our Sundays (not to mention, the pumpkin pins come out in droves, right on cue).
All these back-to-routine vibes make me dream about my own home office. We may only have a one-bedroom place right now, but someday I hope to design my own workspace in our home. (I also hope for a library, but we’ll see about that one.) I am a firm believer that your workspace affects the outcome of your efforts, so I aspire to make my space as calm, inspiring, and lovely as possible. A great desk, a comfy chair, and perfect lighting are a given, but adding some art, accessories, and supplies will really bring it all together.
I chose neutral furniture, a simple striped rug, and white larger accessories (that giraffe lamp!), then added some pops with the smaller accessories in gold and yellow. That bin would be perfect for organizing, and I just had to add the "fancy" pencils. One must always have notecards and a notebook on hand, and an art print with sweet words finishes it off.
What is most important to you in creating an inspiring workspace?
