The Healing Power of Art in Your Workspace

Visiting my local hospital I found it enjoyable to pause and explore the art.

Charring Cross Hospital uses art well. The images below are what captured my thoughts this week when I visited the hospital for a check up.

Not only was I mesmerised by the colours, the vibrancy of the paintings, I noticed how easy it was for me to feel calmed and be part of a community of gallery viewers enjoying the art at my local hospital. You saw it, it made you contemplate when when you walk through their corridors or approached the lifts.

I never noticed the art before, it was a stressful moment for me but the art helped me to feel calmer. But it is a lesson to us all about the role that art could play in our own workspace.

Art is known to uplift, bring joy, elevate, bring hope or help our racing thoughts pause from its meditative transfixing properties.

So don’t forget to include art purchases if you are renovating your own home office and wanting to style your shelves.

Let me know in the comments, how many pieces of art do you have in your home office? How many on your shelves? How much art is on your wall to create an aesthetic virtual meeting backdrop?
