Having a dedicated space to work increases my productivity by miles! When I'm at my desk, my outlook and work ethic changes completely. I'm focused, driven and less distracted. When I would on the sofa, which is not even a meter away from my desk, I'm suckered into switching the telly on whilst I work and then 9 times out of 10 I just end up watching whatever is on and I opt to work later - completely unproductive!
As well as being a blogger, I'm also an art teacher. So having this space has been great when I've needed to take marking home - again I'm focused, driven and have plenty of space to go through work. The desk also has a fabulous draw, which makes storing equipment easy!
The desk is from La Redoute and I managed to get it in one of their 50% sales, it cost me a grand total of £50 - a complete bargain in my eyes. It fits perfectly in the corner of my living room and compliments the rest of the room well.
On my desk, I have a couple of plants, my camera equipment and candle. For some, this may be too cluttered but I love having a space that's surrounded by things I love - including photos, works of art my daughter made and so on. It's nice to have a reminder of why we work so hard.
Above my desk I have a wire storage unit from Red Candy, it's perfect for housing my bullet journal equipment!
I love the flexibility of this piece, I can easily remove the wire baskets and take my bullet journal pens and get to work. It keeps everything in place whilst looking tidy and stylish. Everyone loves copper, right?!
I have filmed a full video going through my workspace in more detail if you'd like to see more. I would also love to see/hear about your own workspaces, they're a guilty pleasure of mine on Instagram and Pinterest!
