Okay, confession time: I'm a messy person. I've always dreamt of having gorgeous, minimal workspaces filled with inspiration and a wide, open space but I haven't gotten around to tackling this little chaotic messy habit of mine until the new year began. Don't get me wrong - my workspace (and basically whatever area I'm allowed to nest in) is cluttered but I hate it. I really do.

So, come 2015 and here I am, determined to keep my workspace clean and organised. Not only for aesthetic purposes but hugely because my productivity is seriously impacted when I don't have room to lay out my things. And because I'm usually already stressed, I end up just working on top of the mess. Shameful, but true 90% of the time.

I love neutral colour schemes with wooden furniture and indoor plants (see my inspiration board over at Pinterest) but I believe any workspace should be a personal form of self-expression to inspire you to get your work done. It's a place where you should feel comfortable yet productive. And for me this year? So far, so good.
