A little space within our home to get work done or create a new project is something that many of us want and are trying to create.
Social media platforms like Pinterest and Instagram have started a big trend on creating something a little different and a desk is no longer simplify a sparse area to work – they are becoming areas of beauty and inspiration.
For me with a houseful of children space is limited and so is peace and quiet which means a little haven is just what I need to keep me focused on work whilst still keeping my creative mind working.
My old school desk fits snugly into a small alcove and is the perfect space to fit a few small potted plants and some of my favourite images to make it a place I am happy to go to.
I like to have everything to hand to limit distractions which are all to great in my life!
My mains needs are my laptop which contains absolutely everything I need, a pad for doodling and ideas that pop into my head and a printer which has recently become a big love of mine.
A printer has become a staple piece of technology in most people’s homes for many years now; but with technology changing at a rapid rate and smartphones becoming a ‘extra limb’ for most people Hewlett Packard have come up with a fabulous printer that does a lot more than print out boring A4 sheets of forms and homework!
The HP Deskjet 3720 is the worlds smallest printer and with limited space in people’s home on the increase this is a huge bonus.
The printer is also compatible for their Ink Replacement Service which is something I wrote about last year and I couldn’t live without as it save so much time and money.
For me though as a huge social media addict the main attraction of this printer is the AiO Remote app that allows you to print out fabulous photos straight from your phone to their social media snapshots paper.
This allows me to create my own little Instagram feed directly onto my wall simply by printing, peeling of the backing paper and sticking them directly to the wall.
The quality of the photos are fantastic and I love being able to change the images whenever I fancy creating a completely different look.
I would love to know what you couldn’t live without at your work station and what makes your they little bit different.
*I was given a printer for the purpose of this review and they are all my own, honest opinions.
