How To Set Up A Creative Corner Inside Your Own Home

Designing a creative space in your home can be a fun experience but you could also benefit from some interior designer advice. Here are some of the best designer tips and tricks for designing an amazing creative space:

Functionality comes first

While having a beautiful space to work in is a great idea, most Pinterest solutions won’t really be functional. Small vintage desks are great but just as display tables. Unless all you need for work is your laptop – and a tiny one at that – they won’t work for you. Beautiful chairs look fabulous but are they comfortable and good for your posture?
There are many things to consider here. Colors, for example – bright red or orange may look great on images of home offices you found but how well are you going to like those when you have to look at them for the majority of your day. Same goes with lighting, decor, images and so on. Be aware that you will have to look at those things for a long time and you won’t be able to change them that quickly.

Make sure there is natural light

Natural light is very important in your work and creativity. It’s not only good for your eyes but it’s also inspiring and very energizing. Make sure your office is somewhere near the window or another source of natural light. This will help you in your work and life as well.
But you should also make sure that you involve some lamps and other light sources for when you work during the evening and night. These will help you work and make the space more beautiful. You can also get some fairy lights and incorporate them into your room for extra flair.

Create a comfortable space

While you need a good space to work and that should be the first thing on your list of priorities, you should also create some space for relaxation and peace. It could be a chair for curling up with a good book or a couch for some rest.
Add a nice rug and an ottoman for your legs as well. A nice side table can be great as well for coffee or tea.

Have some storage

“Storage is very important no matter what you are using the space for. For creative purposes, you’ll need enough storage for supplies and creative equipment. For work, you’ll need plenty of paper, pens and pencils and for anything else you need.
You can get creative and use old boxes and containers to keep all of these things neatly ordered. Here, you can also add some labels and decorations,” says a graphic designer from Draft Beyond and Researchpapersuk, Millicent Aberdeen.

Personalize

This is the fun part. You can add inspirational quotes, images, song lyrics and so on all around your desk to keep you inspired and focused on your work. There are any decor ideas on Pinterest and you should definitely do some of them in your own space. This will largely depend on what you want, like and need but generally, people like to add posters, pictures, quotes, books, lights and so on.
Make this space as personalized as possible so you can return to it every day of your life feeling happy and inspired.

Add some plants

“Greenery can be so great for any space. It makes it come alive and brings a bit of nature from the outside in. You don’t have to go overboard with this, just place a few succulents on your shelves or your desk, for instance and you`ll instantly freshen up a space,” says William Scott, an interior designer from LastMinuteWriting and Writinity.

Creating a good creative space takes time and research. While it can be cheap, you can also invest in some more expensive pieces as well if you want to. Hopefully, these tips have inspired you to have fun creating your own space.
