Every year I would suggest giving your home office space a clear out and changing the layout and colour scheme if it is within your budget.

The reason for this is that keeping a fresh office space gives you a clear mind and psychologically de clutters your head and helps you to focus again.  Having a different outlook when you open the office door in the morning is hugely inspirational for working conditions.

Starting with the simple things, free up space on your office desk by removing paperwork and filing it all away.  If you have been limited with office desk space because of the lack of storage in your office put up a wall shelf within easy reach of your office chair.

Rearrange your office furniture, after all it won’t cost you anything to do it and gives your tired office space a different feel each day.

Try and place your office chair opposite a clear bright window where you can enjoy the view of plants, flowers and sunshine.

If you cannot get your office desk facing onto a window use a few house hold plants to decorate the filing cabinet or computer desk to bring a natural feel into your office for Summer.

Don’t feel you do not deserve the luxury of working from home, enjoying it is not wrong so don’t punish yourself with drab colours.  Freshen up the colour scheme and make it bright and light.

It is proven that creativity is stimulated in bright open office space.  It is also said that bright colours stimulate energy and creativity and more muted tones aid concentration.
