**Improving Your Space: 5 Essential Tips**
In this video, we'll discuss how to improve your space and make it more enjoyable and functional. From cleaning your space to adding decorations, lighting, and color coordination, we'll cover all the essential tips to help you create a perfect environment for yourself.
**Cleanliness is Key**
The first tip on our list is cleanliness. Nobody likes a dirty surface, so it's essential to wipe down your desk at the end of each week, give your mouse a fresh clean, and also don't forget to clean your monitor. Putting everything away, hiding any unnecessary items, and keeping a tidy space are crucial for maintaining a clean environment. This is especially important if you have a small space, as it can quickly become cluttered and overwhelming.
In my own experience, having a clean space has been a game-changer for my productivity and creativity. I find that with a clean space, I get more creative freedom and less irritation with myself. And the best part? Cleaning your space is relatively easy, even when it's messy. It only takes a few days to tidy up and put things back in order.
**Add Decorations**
The second tip on our list is adding decorations. Everyone needs a plan to make their space feel more like home. This can be as simple as adding some greenery, such as plants or fake ones that don't need watering. You can also add decorative items, such as toy cars from special places you've visited, to create a unique collection of memories.
I'm particularly fond of using keyboard and mouse setups with decorative elements, such as colorful accents or unique designs. These small touches can make a big difference in the overall aesthetic of your space. And if you're feeling ambitious, you can even try adding some artwork or prints to give your space a more personal touch.
**Lighting is Essential**
The third tip on our list is lighting. Natural light is the best, so positioning yourself near a window is an excellent idea. This not only provides plenty of natural light but also helps to reduce eye strain and fatigue. For artificial lighting, a desk lamp is a must-have for both ambient illumination and a unique piece in your space.
I've recently moved away from RGB illumination, opting instead for more simple setup options like LED bulbs or strips. These add color and make everything in your space pop. I'll be sharing some of my favorite lamps that I found on Amazon in the description below.
**Color Coordination**
The fourth tip on our list is color coordination. Having a cohesive color scheme can help tie together all the different elements in your space and create a sense of harmony. In my experience, a simple white and black color scheme works beautifully, especially with IKEA furniture. The Phoenix speakers are also color-coordinated to match this aesthetic.
Adding some color accents through wallpaper or accessories can also make a big difference. I've recently changed from day to night for my wallpaper, opting for something warm in the evening and cool during the day. This creates a more pleasing environment and helps me stay focused throughout the day.
**Cable Management**
The fifth and final tip on our list is cable management. It's essential to keep your cables organized and tidy, especially with wireless peripherals becoming increasingly popular. Using a monitor to hold your keyboard cable or a bungee for your mouse can make a big difference in maintaining a clutter-free space.
I also recommend using magnetic NZXT pucks to manage headphones and storing everything behind the PC out of sight. This not only keeps your space organized but also helps you stay focused and productive. And if you're like me, always looking for ways to improve your setup, it's worth investing in some form of sleeving or enclosure to keep all your cables and peripherals organized.
**Conclusion**
Improving your space is easier than you think, and with these five essential tips, you'll be well on your way to creating a perfect environment that reflects your personality and style. From cleanliness to color coordination, lighting to cable management, every detail matters in creating an ideal space for yourself.
