Make it inspiring

The space where you work should look and feel inspiring. It should serve as place that nurtures creativity. Accentuate it with an art piece, a frame a poster or a sculpture of your choice. Keep some life-transforming books which have inspired you in your journey.

Change the colour palette

The colours in your office home should be pleasing and soothing. Consider your working style, time to be spent and type of work. Use colours of your choice, vibrant or corporate. If your job requires focus choose a sober colour that does not distract you. Blue, light yellow or green combined with white, earthy brown with olive green are some popular choices. You can also mix and match the curtains, furnishings after some days as a refreshing change.

Make it multi-utility

To declutter, use multi-purpose furniture. If the furniture has built-in storage, it will be greatly space saving. Ensure that you have sufficient racks or a wall cabinet for keeping office papers, files, stationary and other utilities. Let it be clean and neat, not messy and cluttered.

Maintain healthy ambience
