Create a Kitchens workspace
Try playing with these ideas to bring more awareness to your Kitchens Workspace.
Some Environments are better for Kitchens than others, but considering what’s available to you in the space around you can go a long way. Take what feels fun and expansive and leave the rest. These ideas are to get you thinking about your Environment in a more expansive way.

Have a central work station
How can you create a Center Hub in the middle of your space, to inspire you to get to the heart of your creations, or whatever it is you make a living through? Can the table or counter be in the middle of the room?
Build in decor zones
Depending on your unique practice or workspace, how might you build in decor zones that move around your primary activities. Can your packaging supplies be built into the decor? Can your reference books become part of the decor? Can your samples, or swatches, or results become part of the decor and space that holds you?
Bring on the trends
What hot look are the cool kids bringing to their space? A certain plant? A certain texture? What’s catching your eye that you want to dabble and experiment with? Consider how you might bring that into your space for inspiration — doesn’t need to be related to your field at all, or can be.
Get playful and collaborative
It’s important for you to have people you can bump into in your workplace, whether that is colleagues, clients, customers, or creative peers. Regularly put yourself in places or situations where you have options to meet or connect with people in likeminded or connected fields. Consider how this affects you if you work primarily online.
Create an immersive area in your workspace
Is there something that can be regularly rearranged? Such as colour coordinating books on a bookshelf, or organizing them into genres, or alphabetical order? Rearranging something can be a great way for you to process energy. Once I visited a boardroom that had all kinds of irregularly shaped blocks in the middle of a long table, encouraging those around the table to pile, place and move the objects into different structures while they listened or engaged with what was happening in the board room. So kitchens.
Gathering spaces
Gathering around a table, boardroom or shared space is a great bustling Kitchens Environment where all kinds of ideas and creations are bound to alchemize. These are great spaces where things may “come together” for Kitchens people.
