Work Never Looked So Good!™

By Susan Ringer 
VP  My Pretty Office Division of TwistOP

What is more inspiring? A gold and white polka dot file folder or a vanilla manila one? Roses on your notepads, or the plain white perforated kind?  Putty colored letter trays or seafoam green modern ones?  While we seek inspiration throughout our day – from what we wear to what we read and everything in between, we sometimes overlook the most important avenue for it.  The workplace! At work, inspiration is not only important – it is one of the keys to success.  It is the place from where all great ideas flow. When we think about what inspires us, it all starts with our surroundings.   It is widely known that our environment has a profound impact on our psychology, our feelings and our results.    

So what can we do to create the best environment for our work life? We can start by making the space visually pleasing and reflective of our unique, personal style.  If revamping your cubicle with wallpaper and fancy furnishings is not in the cards for you (and unless you work in a creative field, it generally isn’t going to be), start with your desk accessories, office supplies or a pretty art print.  Have some fun with it!  Bring in color, pattern and visual appeal to brighten up your space and give you a lift. Keep it within the bounds of what is allowed, but express yourself visually in your workspace to showcase a bit of who you are. 

If you work in an environment that has customer traffic, by all means you want that space to be reflective of your brand, to speak of success and be visually appealing.

If you are among the fortunate ones who work from home, try to make that workspace coordinate with the rest of your home for visual continuity.  You can really have fun with this and in future blog posts we will go more in depth on the subject of decorating a home office.

Of course, a simple everyday black stapler has its place and certainly does the job (we’re Twist Office Products, after all – we love that stuff too!), but there are those of us who want more and so we should have it.  We want fashion, color and a sense of style in our regular life, so why not have it in our work lives too?  Just as some people can’t wait to buy a cool new kitchen gadget, there are those of us who salivate over the thrill of a cute office supply, a decorative desk accessory or a great new office organization system. It is for all these reasons (and more) that we are so excited to launch the My Pretty Office™ Division of Twist Office Products!  This is where beauty means business, when it comes to your surroundings, that is!  

So, while your office mate might be chewing on his plastic blue pen cap (and that’s ok, really it is!), feel free to jot down your brightest ideas with your Kate Spade Gold Pen.  We understand.  Our full range (and still growing) of artwork by Susan Ringer, pretty office products and decorative desk accessories by top designers can be purchased through our page at www.myprettyoffice.com.  Feel free to browse our collections through the site or ask our reps about these great new products today!
