Flowers/Plants
Adding flowers or plants to your work space is a great way to add colour and also add a nice scent too. You can often find reduced flowers in the supermarkets for a few euro, so adding flowers does not have to be a huge expense. This could even be a once-a-month treat to yourself to brighten up your workspace to make your area more cheerful whether you’re working from home or in the office. Plants are also a great addition as they can make your space feel calm with more oxygen to breathe. You can also pick up plants in your local supermarket or garden centre.

Lighting
Adding a lamp, fairy lights or other forms of lighting are a brilliant way to liven up a work space.

New Screensaver
It may seem simple, but changing the screensaver on your computer can make a big difference to your work space. It’s nice to open your computer to an image which you find pleasing. You can change this to match the season you are in too – snow or a warm fireplace scene in the winter, sunsets for Summer, or even the Easter bunny or chicks for Easter.

Stationery Organisers/ Paper Trays
If you struggle to keep your desk organised, stationery organisers or paper/letter trays are a brilliant way to keep everything tidy. Getting bright coloured stationery organisers will keep your working space bright, de-cluttered and cheerful.
Photos
Adding a photo to your desk, or to the wall in your home office, can bring a smile to your face and keep your spirits up on those busy work days. It’s always good to keep positive memories around to decrease stress and improve your work rate.
