I don’t know about you but I love looking at the place where other people create ~ desks, studios, offices. I love seeing what is on their walls, their inspiration boards, their desks, how they organise their tools.

There is something to be said to sitting down at a newly organised space and being ready to create. This in itself can be so inspiring.

In Feng Shui, a messy workspace would be bad chi. The chi (energy) gets stuck in clutter and can’t t flow like it should. Under those principles, our creativity would get stuck, too. Whether we follow the ideas of feng shui or not, I think we have all been there where the clutter of the space is holding us back. It is hard to create when you can’t lay your hand on the tool you need or find the materials you want under layers of paperwork.

That doesn’t mean we need to be neat freaks either ~ sometimes the most creative space are filled with tools, materials, inspiration.
