You most likely came here to get tips on how to design your creative space, but what exactly is a so-called “creative space”

You may have a basic idea of what a creative space, it’s simply
a physical location that enhances your creative ability.

Of course, you may think that creativity comes from the inside and that is true, creativity is just doing things like experiments and combining ideas to make new things.

Having a creative space that inspires and motivates you can greatly enhance your creative and productive levels.

Make the space free and open

While deciding which place you want to make your creative space, keep in mind to have some space where you can walk around without having to worry about hitting or running into things because many people like to walk and move their bodies while they are brainstorming

Though it is not possible for everyone to have enough space. So for that purpose, you can also use gardens or parks to your advantage. Just remember to keep a journal or notepad with you so that you can quickly write down ideas that may come.

Keep the space bright, so your creativity shines brighter

Apt lighting for your creative space is one of the most important things which you need to keep in mind. Good lighting can inspire and motivate a person to a great degree.

Sunlight from windows is usually, recommended for your creative space because besides making the space brighter it is also said to strengthen bones and improve mental health.

If you are not getting enough sunlight then you should consider lighting your creative space with sunlight as the major source

Artificial lights can also be used in combination with sunlight or even alone, If you want your lighting to be more personalized and you are getting enough sunlight then, artificial lights are also a good choice.

Know your priorities while designing your creative space

While designing your creative space take a piece of paper,
and write down why you are creating this space and for what purpose.

This will help you decide your goal for this project.

For example, If your goal is to make a creative space for your writing hobby then you don’t need to keep your screw drivers in that space.

Of course, you don’t need to make different spaces for all your different hobbies but knowing your priorities beforehand can help you a great deal.

Start small, don’t overwhelm yourself

Does making and designing a creative space seem too hard for you?
Then don’t worry and start small.

Slowly but surely one day it will be the creative space of your dreams, which you will come to adore.

Make it personal

Organize it however you want

Unlike regular spaces, you don’t need to keep everything neat and tidy in creative spaces. Because the main function of the creative spaces is to stimulate your brain to enhance your creativity.

You should feel the most comfortable in your creative space so keep it however you want.

And make yourself feel relaxed.

Don’t let social constraints stop you
