Five ways to make your workspace a more inspirational place to work
An inspiring workspace will help you focus, be more productive and more enthused about sitting down to work. If you’re drawing a blank when you sit down to work or simply don’t even fancy taking a seat then perhaps consider a few of these tips to help you feel a little more energised, ready and want to work…

Tip 1 - Get some plants and plan some outdoor breaks
Critical for good air, mental breaks and overall well being; outdoor breaks are scientifically proven to increase productivity, creativity and attention span. Connecting to nature is a basic need and that’s why surrounding yourself with plants has such a good impact too.
Tip 2 - Good Stationary
Appealing stationery can motivate, inspire, and encourage organisation. Moxon, Papersmiths and Present & Correct are all Trifle team favourites and we particularly love Papersmiths guide on their best planners and diaries for 2021.
Tip 3 - Curate your space
Have items around you that inspire and uplift (books, reference, imagery, art, objets, photos). It’s good to let your mind wander occasionally as it triggers your subconscious which lets you come up with great ideas.
Tip 4 - Crack out a great playlist
“Music is the strongest form of magic.” – Marilyn Manson. Music can have an incredibly powerful influence on our mood. If you need to get yourself out of a rut, concentrate or just feel a little happier about things, get a good playlist on the go, it can really help.
Tip 5 - Scent your space
Think about all your senses. Smell isn't considered that much at the workplace (apart from when it’s bad) but it can also help you in the same way music can. Creating a calm or even feeling energised can be impacted by the scent in your space. It’s definitely a good excuse to justify yourself a nice candle.
