Make your workspace work better for you with these fun picks
Some days, it’s hard to be inspired at work when your office cubicle feels drab and gray. Making your office a representation of your personality and creating an inspiring space is key for enhancing your creativity and encouraging productivity on those dreary and cloudy days. Bring in fresh flowers from your favourite market and decorate your desk with a scented candle, frames and photographs of heart-warming memories and things that make you happy are just a few examples of how you can give your office a boost of individuality.
