8 Things That Will Make Your Office Space a Better Place

Your office space could be a cold, dark place if you’re not careful. The stacks of papers, the unattractive to-do lists, and all the pending tasks staring you in the face could ruin productivity and cause unnecessary frustration.

Remember that you’re here for eight to ten hours (or more!) a day, so you need to treat it like a real home. Here are a few ideas on how you can make your desk a lighter, more exciting place.

 

8. Framed artworks

Hang something on that wall! Photos of your loved ones are great, but also consider having having some good art in front of you. A good drawing, painting, or even motivational posters (like the ones on this website) with calligraphy could fuel creativity. You can also try having an art clothesline!

 

7. Books (that you’ll actually read)

, imgarcade.com

Leave your pending novels at home, because you will most likely have no time to read them. Be realistic and put good literature in the form of graphic novels, comic books, recipe books, etc.–the ones that you can easily pick up when you’re stuck and dried out of ideas.

 

6. A dinosaur


Via etsy.com

Simply because dinosaurs are awesome, and because they would look excellent on top of all those to-do lists. Remember, they’re the biggest animals to have ever walked the Earth, and you, too, can have that power. Think about this while you beat that deadline!

 

5. A nice lamp

, thinkgeek.com

Lighting is everything, so investing on a good lamp could change the entire mood of your work area. According to some studies, dim lighting can actually spark creativity!

 

4. A globe


Via aliexpress.com

This item would be of great help especially to those who are always awaiting those long weekends and vacations. On your free time, you can even do some planning on where you want to go next!

 

3. A nice cup

, oomilo.com

This might seem nonessential compared to other items on this list, but hear this out: your cup/mug/glass is one of the constants on your desk. This is something that you see and use several times a day. Having a good-looking drink receptacle will not only entice you to pour another cup of coffee–it will also be a great decorative piece for your work area.

 

2. These drumsticks.


Via demilked.com

OK, this is not exactly easy to obtain, but what genius invention! What fun! If you can’t get ahold of these, you can make do of what’s available–pens, chopsticks, brushes, etc.

 

1. Succulents


Via modgreenus.com

, homedit.com

A study has revealed that desk plants actually improve creativity (read about it here). Succulents are also slowly becoming huge in Manila, so searching for those quirky greens will no longer be a challenge–check out Green Plate Manila’s recommendations here.
