Inspiration: The Beauty of Work

25 April, 2010

I found this post on Loveology and just had to share – what can you do to make your work more beautiful? I know I’m very lucky with Sassy that I can do my work from home – I get to create my own space and can surround myself with things I find inspiring. However, since I moved apartments I’ve been feeling like my working area needs some sprucing up and some more colour so I’ve set myself a challenge of making my desk feel fun again – flowers, candles and clipped-out images all help me to feel happier and more focused…

Even if you can’t work from home, or don’t work in a creative office where you can customize your working space, there are ways to bring beauty to your work day. When I lived in London, my friend Peppi would go off every day to her very corporate office, with the most carefully packed lunch – little home-made bento boxes filled with healthy treats, wrapped in lovely Japanese napkins and all put together in a Hello Kitty lunchbox! For her, it was a little piece of herself and her home in an otherwise quite sterile environment. I also like the idea of bringing giving yourself an indulgent tea break with some herbal tea, your own teapot or teacup and some biscuits or macaroons. There’s always the risk that colleagues will want to share though!
