Hello fellow digital marketing freelancers! As the Autumn leaves start to fall and the cozy vibes take over, it’s the perfect time to spruce up your workspace with some Autumn desk décor. A well-decorated wok set-up not only boosts your productivity but also sets the right mood for the season. So, let’s dive into some fantastic office décor ideas to get your workspace ready for the cozy-town season
1. Start with a Blank Canvas
First things first, de-clutter your desk. Remove any unnecessary distractions, and give your workspace a good scrub. A clean slate will make it easier to implement the Autumn desk décor you have in mind. Plus, it’s incredibly satisfying and cathartic to work at a tidy desk!
2. Embrace Earthy Tones
Autumn is all about warm and earthy colours. Incorporate shades like deep oranges, rich browns, and forest greens into your office décor. Think about adding these colours through items such as quirky desk accessories, wall art, or even a cosy throw blanket on your chair for those chillier moments. Nothing beats being zoned in with your noise cancelling headphones, sipping on a pumpkin spiced latte and scribbling away on your next big idea.
3. Cozy Lighting
Soft, warm lighting sits at the epicentre of “hygge” and can transform your workspace into an Autumn haven. Consider using fairy lights, warm-toned light bulbs, Fall scented candles or even a Himalayan salt lamp. These not only create a relaxing atmosphere but are also great for your eyes during long hours of work, especially as you’re head down in a laptop all day.
4. Seasonal Touches with Foliage
Bringing a touch of nature into your office décor is a brilliant idea for Autumn. A small potted plant or a vase filled with scrunchy leaves can add a rustic and warm vibe to your desk that fit perfectly in the cosiest of forest cabins.
5. Inspiring Wall Art
Decorate your workspace with art that inspires you. Whether it’s a motivational quote or a piece of art that resonates with you, it’s a simple yet effective way to create a positive and productive atmosphere.
6. Personalise Your Space
As a freelancer it’s essential to remember your “why”. On the days where leads are sparce, projects have slowed way down and you’re drowning in your own admin you need your “why” to keep you going and nothing does that better than having personal touches in your work space. Add things like your favourite family photos, trinkets, or mementos. These not only make your workspace more inviting but also remind you of the people and experiences that motivate you to work hard.
7. Organise Efficiently
A tidy space makes for a tidy mind. A clutter-free desk is an essential aspect of office décor and lets face it, who doesn’t love a trip to HomeSense to stock up on new stationary? Use organisers, trays, and drawers to keep your work essentials within reach but neatly organised. A tidy workspace can significantly enhance your productivity and helps keep your mind quiet from distractions.
8. Comfortable Seating
Us desk monkeys are often dreadful at making sure our seating is on point (you only have to look at my chiro bills to confirm exactly this!) It’s a MUST to invest in a comfortable chair with Autumn hues or add some cushions for extra comfort. Your chair should be both ergonomic and stylish, so you feel comfortable and inspired while working whilst keeping a good posture to keep the chiro bills at bay!
9. Wellness and Aromatherapy
Is it just me or is one of the best times of year going round the candle aisles to stock up all things pumpkin spiced? Scented candles or essential oil diffusers can bring a delightful aroma to your workspace and whether you want a scent giving your a kick of energy or help switch off a busy mind the options are endless. Scents like cinnamon, vanilla, or pine are perfect for the autumn season and can enhance your mood and concentration.
10. Seasonal Stationery
As I’ve already said, stationary shopping is one of the best parts of being a digital freelancer. Consider getting notebooks, pens, and folders in Autumnal colours. It’s a small change, but it can make a big difference in your work routine. It’s like new gym kit – the motivation that comes from shiny new things is very real.
