Art to Inspire Working From Home
Our homes are the centre of our lives; and now they’ve become our offices, our virtual socialising spaces and where we create and relax.
When home becomes your place of work too, art can help inspire creativity. Discover some ideas to help you carve out a space that works for you.
Wall focus
If you have a desk at home then you can create a permanent space that works for you and the mood you are wanting to create. A blank wall above a desk is a great focal point. Picking a thought provoking piece such as this Mychael Barratt may always prove a welcome distraction.
Look and feel
Whether you’re working at a make shift desk, the sofa or the floor, art can be a great source of inspiration. Carve out a space that works for you by adding personal touches. This will help make the space feel intentional and motivational. Brightening up a blank space with art will lift the mood.
You might be working from your favourite chair with your laptop! A piece of art can really enhance this space and inspire you.
Colour
Colours can have a real impact on a creative environment. They have the power to make you feel stimulated and energised.
