Bring Your Favorite Color to Your Desk일상

You don't have to repaint a room to bring a little more of your taste into it. Start with one thing you see every day: a mug, a notebook, a pen cup, or a piece of fabric.

Notice the colors you're already drawn to. Perhaps it's the green on a favorite book cover or the blue of a cup you keep choosing. There's no need to find a color that supposedly matches your personality or improves your performance. Liking it is enough.

Try one object first

Bring something you own to the desk and give it a place where it won't get in the way. Live with it for a week. Does it still please you when you sit down, or has it become one more thing to move around?

You can change your mind, choose a smaller object, or put it elsewhere. You also don't need to replace everything around it to create a matching set.

A useful workspace can have practical tools and a small, personal detail. Sometimes one familiar color is all it takes to make an ordinary corner feel like a place you've chosen.
