Refreshing your desk each season can enhance your mood and creativity. Key strategies include adding natural elements like plants for aesthetic and calming effects, decluttering to improve focus, and creating a designated calm corner with items like candles or Zen gardens to promote mindfulness. Designers and organizers emphasize the importance of incorporating living elements, removing unnecessary items for clarity, and establishing rituals that foster tranquility while working. These small adjustments can significantly transform your workspace into a more inspiring and peaceful environment.
When I design workspaces, I always start by adding something living. Even a single plant changes the energy of a desk - it softens the edges and brings calm. My favorite is a small desktop garden, because it's both beautiful and interactive.
One of my clients told me recently that clearing her desk felt like clearing her head. I couldn't agree more. At the start of each season, I encourage people to remove everything from their workspace and only put back what they use daily. It's simple, but it creates focus instantly.
During a busy day, your desk can either be a source of stress or a space of calm. I keep a small candle on mine that I light before sessions - it's a signal to slow down and breathe. I also love having a desktop Zen garden within reach.
