We love the greyscale feel of this environment. The greyscale color palette in this desktop setup helps to limit distractions which is perfect for Flow and focus. This is also a strategy that’s suggested to curb phone addiction. By creating a less distracting and “boring” environment around you, one will be focused more on work (or that’s the goal). The use of Dramatic lighting focused on the workspace in front of you keeps distractions to a minimum. It’s like a spotlight to just you and your work.

Small spaces do not necessarily mean a cramped and unproductive environment. Tiny spaces are actually pretty cozy and help to block off distractions to achieve Flow. This clean white minimal setup proves the point.

Perfect aesthetically pleasing yet functional and practical. The usage of a wireless mouse, keyboard, and headphones helps reduce the clutter.
