Joyce Downing Pickens of JDP Interiors recommends customizing home office space through built-in storage, which is becoming a larger trend this year. “You are what surrounds you and if looks cluttered around you, it’s probably cluttering up what’s inside you,” says interior designer LeeAnn Baker of LeeAnn Baker Interiors. Cluttering your space can clutter your productivity. Storage isn’t just important for the sake of decor. This ensures you’ll walk into your workspace each morning clear, clean, and starting from a fresh slate ready to have a proactive day.” “Make it part of your mindfulness and business practice to clean your desk area at the end of each business day. “You likely wouldn’t leave half-eaten snacks, empty water glasses, or messy papers on your desk inside of an office. Whether that’s plants, crystals, or something else that visually evokes a sense of balance, choose something you can see and be reminded to take a few deep breaths.”īoth women also suggest de-cluttering your desk as a daily practice. Include a few items in your home office that evoke a sense of calm and wellbeing.

“There’s no doubt about it- work can sometimes feel stressful.
