Perhaps your home business workspace is a table in the corner or you have a box that gets shoved in the entry closet that holds your important papers, files and invoices. Having an organized and efficient workspace is important, and you might even want to consider having an inspirational or decorative “theme” that will help you to stay motivated and inspired as you work at building your business.
Often a desk or workspace includes a few pictures of a person’s kids, and functional things like pens and paper and manila folders. Unfortunately, while this may be functional space, it is not always very inspiring. One of the great things about working from home at your own home business is that you get to do things YOUR way and part of that can include how you decorate and arrange your work space. There are no company regulations or cultural expectations to dictate how you decorate or arrange things.
Consider things like color and coordination as you put together a workspace that fits your style and inspires you. There is no reason that you cannot have colored file folders if you would like or use your favorite color(s) as your décor. After all, there is no law that says you HAVE to have a workspace that looks typical or fits someone else’s definition. Use your own creativity, likes and passions to influence you as you craft your work area. If you like art, artifacts and crafts from other countries, animals, flowers, or have a hobby you are passionate about, why not incorporate this into your workspace? This way, you can have the things you love around you while you work, arranged in a beautiful and inspiring way, and you may actually look forward to getting to your desk or space and getting to work!
