Your Zone of Blissful Productivity

Following a bumpy couple of weeks where inspiration has been at an all-time low, I have decided it is time to re-vamp my work space at home.

In a light airy room in London’s Kentish Town, there is plenty of warmth and chatter of children playing filtering through my looking-glass windows. I  have 2 items:  a pink formica table that I bought from a wonderful vintage furniture shop Le Grenier on Bethnal Green Road a few years ago and a formica chair that I found outside a skip near Kentish Town Tube Station (!)

I rushed to move into this flat, with little thought of spending much time in it. I had commitments outside of London so I really only saw this space as a dumping ground for paperwork and a temporary hot-desk between train journeys. But now in the cold light of day, I realise how much I have neglected my personal space.

It is time for a change.

I realise now how important it is to take pride in your workspace. To make it your own. For it to be a zone of both blissful escapism and productivity.

To get this series going, I am looking at inspiring workspaces that are easy to put together. Click on the picture for its source.

WORDS OF INSPIRATION should be around you, for when your mind wanders…

Mood boards are great for keeping your mind alive with all that is new, inspiring and relevant to your life . Here are some great ideas that I found for pinning up the things you love:

An old set of bed springs…

The wall itself is used as a mood board and storage…

Bulldog clips make for great, simple and sturdy pins for this wall of inspiration…

(also love the neon + grey combo!)

And I love this! An unruly branch is transformed into a sturdy pole for hooking on your essentials. Adds a lovely sense of nature to your digital space.

So that’s my first burst of inspiration in a long time! Stay tuned to see how I will be transform my poor little workspace into a complete zone of peace and productivity!
