It’s a bit of a lofty dream, but I love walls decorated in elaborate wood paneling. This is quite expensive, of course, but it makes rooms look complete and like individual works of art. I particularly like cooler wooden tones with muted colors. Blues and greens make a space feel calming to me.

I suppose the most important thing for a working atmosphere is comfort and clarity. If there’s too much in the space, I can’t focus. I like my desk to have only a few personal momentos. Vital things like planners and notebooks should be easily within reach.
