Six Ways to Create a Home That Inspires Creativity
Six Ways to Create a Home That Inspires Creativity
Whether you want to be inspired for work play or just life in general here's how your home can help get your creative juices flowing.
Inviting Creative Inspiration Through Design
Creativity comes in many forms. Some people draw or paint, others cook or make music. Some like to write or make videos. Whatever moves the members of your household, give them the ability to maximize their ideas with spaces that prime the pump for ongoing creativity.
Display affirming phrases on walls, hang meaningful art or photographs, and incorporate anything that inspires creative thinking into your décor. For example, a blank canvas on an easel with a painter's palette set beside it just might lead to something special.
1. Write on the Walls and Furniture
No, really! Earn cool parent status by encouraging the budding artists in your home to capture doodles or ideas with Formica® Writable Surfaces. Available in dozens of colours, this Formica® laminate can be installed vertically or horizontally to enhance countertops, desktops, cabinet fronts and closet doors with dry-erase capabilities.
They’re perfect for jotting down a lightbulb moment, drawing a funny cartoon or sharing an inspirational message for a loved one on a big day. Unlike painted walls or other dry erase options, these smooth surfaces are easy to wipe clean and resist scratches and impact.
2. Build a Cozy Nook
Queue the daydreams and the out-of-the-box thinking with a special spot to get away. If you have areas of your home with unique angles, dormers or cutouts, these can be ideal for a quick and impactful project.
3. Bring Nature Inside
Connecting with nature helps us connect with our imaginations, too. Biophilic design brings elements from nature to inside spaces. In addition to adding plants or water features, look to Formica® woodgrain laminates or nature-inspired patterns like Foliage to add a relaxing vibe.
4. Establish a Craft Room
Having a dedicated space for creative endeavors like writing, artwork or crafts is key to bringing projects to life. Give your family members the opportunity to create their masterpieces with a dedicated desk or craft room.
5. Build a Really Cool Desk
Having one’s own desk can make all the difference when jumping into a special project. Involve family members in the selection of the Formica® laminate to ensure a one-of-a-kind look they’ll treasure.
6. Give Kids a Special Bedroom
Whether kids share a room or have one of their own, it will certainly be a go-to place for relaxing, reading and coming up with clever ideas. From headboards to desks and closet doors to feature walls, there are many ways to put together an inspired design your kids will adore.
