Your office may be your least favourite part of your
home. You are bound to spend plenty of your time there working hard, but why
not create a space that you want to be in? You can do this on a budget just by
changing a few things. Bring some fun back into the not-so-fun chores of life.
If you’re like me you will have endless amounts of ‘To
Do’ lists on a weekly basis. If you are also like me you will find it easy to
hide from them. So what better than to write it on the wall where you can’t
hide from it! This fun office option is cheap and easy to do.

Lighting is essential; if you are spending a lot of
time in your office you need the right amount of lighting. The amount of light
your eyes receive will affect your energy levels. Of course natural lighting is
the very best, but working those long hours into the night, you are going to
need a good bright lamp.
This photography style lamp is ideal, the wide shade
allows plenty of light to cover the whole room, and it is currently on sale at
