<p>From decluttering your desk to using a day planner and writing to-do lists, there are many processes you can use to make your home-working productive and your workspace inspiring.<br /></p> <p>We asked student Jemma Barnard, who is currently in the final year of our <a href="https://www.aup.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/ba-hons-interior-design" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BA (Hons) Interior Decoration, Design and Styling</a> degree, to create a moodboard with a few tips and tricks for creating a relaxing and organised workspace at home.<br /></p>

<p>We asked Jemma to tell us a bit about why making a decluttered workspace was important to her. </p> <p>"Having an organised and relaxing workspace is incredibly important to me. Not only does it help with productivity and keeping a clear mind, but it makes work more enjoyable. Give yourself enough space, with a few personal items that bring you joy. This is proven to improve wellness and allows you to maintain focus for a longer period of time. I hope you enjoy creating a little oasis of calm in your own home."</p> <p>Another top tip for organising your day is to use a planner - you can download our printable home planner below.
