Whether you work from home or in a busy office, there is always room to improve your workspace. Our desks usually become cluttered and unorganized more quickly than we would like. They turn from inspiring, productive spaces to stress-inducing stacks of papers and cold cups of coffee. This doesn’t have to be the case for you! When designing offices, Bon Brise Design focuses on how to maintain creativity while producing a space that is conducive to productivity and organization.
Get ready to work efficiently and creatively! We have a few tips for you that will get you back to work in no time:
Get Organized and Stay Organized
Cluttered spaces can induce anxiety and make it difficult to organize what you need to complete for the day. Your desk is the place where you spend the most time, so you want it to be an area where things are easy to find and put away.
To begin making your desk a stress-free workspace, introduce organizational elements. Incorporate pen holders, closed storage boxes, and make sure your filing cabinet is organized if your work requires many physical documents. You can even include a catch-all tray for those “deal with it later” items. If organization is not your specialty, don’t worry! You don’t have to keep your desk clear at all times. But do have a designated place for everything.
Look around your desk and split your papers into categories. Have a designated space for your electronics with power cords at the ready. When you want to get to work, put your phone and tablet out of site, or even in a drawer.
Boost Creativity
It doesn’t matter what field you work in—whether you’re a designer or an engineer, a little creativity will help you make it through the day and help you find better solutions to the problems you encounter throughout the day.
Our offices aren’t just for pumping out spreadsheets and documents at a computer. They’re often meeting spaces, workspaces, and brainstorming arenas rolled into one. To make these activities more dynamic, the design of your office matters! Many offices lack personality and comfort. Consider adding color through accents such as wall art, inspiring desk art, fresh flowers, and perhaps a colorful chair and rug. To organize your ideas while brainstorming and in meetings, add a corkboard or whiteboard.
