Marie Kondo's home office space sparks joy and creativity – so we're following suit

As all Marie Kondo fans know, you should discard before you organize. If you practise the KonMari method, then these creative office wall organization ideas are sure to impress, and they might even help you let go of some of the items you've accumulated – for a more clutter-free WFH life. 

If, like us, you became addicted to Marie’s decluttering and tidying when she first appeared on our TV screens, and never miss an Insta post, you will know that living a Marie Kondo-inspired life requires that you hang on to only the things that bring you joy. And who would quibble with that? Certainly not us.

But is it the case that some of us need more joy-sparking stuff around us than others – especially when we’re WFH or have a home workspace for projects like writing, drawing, crafting and so on? The way to find out, Marie says, is by doing the tidying and organizing, which will allow you to discover what kind of office space will spark joy in you, to help your creativity bloom. 

The home office space Marie shared on Insta definitely looks like one for those who need plenty of inspiration around them, and if you’re in that camp (along with 100 per cent of the Real Homes team, we have to say), we’ve found some brilliant home office storage ideas and display solutions so you can follow suit.
