Kiwi and Bow : TOP 5 TIPS TO CREATE THE PERFECT OFFICE SPACE

New Space, New You!

This week our brand new office is undergoing a full make over! Over last few weeks in seek of office inspo, I spend hours rambling Pinterest, reading interior blogs and pulling tears from magazines. I found so much I had to do a quick post for you all and share what I came across!

With so many people now working from home or working on extra projects on top of full time work, Office spaces at home have become extremely popular! Whatever your budget is by creating your own private space can increased focus and productivity!

Here are my Top 5 Tips when planning your dream space:

1. The Space

Think small! Look in those small and awkward spaces around the home that you didn’t know what to do with. For example under the stairs, inside an empty wardrobe or even the end go the hall! Remember think small, all you need is a desk and chair to start with!!

2. No Clutter!

By creating an office/ work space doesn't mean you need all files, bills and paper work. Pack away and store what you don't need and only keep what you actually use on a daily basis!! Keep your desk clear and tidy. The more inviting the space the more you will use it!!

3. The Chair

In my opinion this is the most important part! Invest in a chair that is comfortable yet provides support! This is definitely an investment that will pay off!

4. Lighting

The more natural light the better. If you are restricted to natural light make sure to install any additional lights or lamps to you new space so you do not strain your eyes!

5. No TV

Stay far far away!! Whether you're working from full time or simply organising your personal affairs, try to keep your new space away from obvious distractions like the TV! Try avoid setting space up in the Kitchen or Living room

Remember you don't have to have a huge budget, get creative and use what you have!! For example see below how crates make a great storage solution or make you piece of art work by creating a mood board with all your favourite things! Here are some of the images that inspired me and as you will see I have a slight obsession with all things white, faux fur and flowers!!

I hope they inspire you guys too!
