Rodriguez says: ‘We advise clients to avoid the temptations of clutter and lean towards a cohesive and warm minimalist approach, which can reduce anxiety levels and aid focus. Tick for home working, and a tick for restful sweet dreaming… zzz. Keep calm, and stay focused with a fuss-free and streamlined 'Japandi' or Scandi bedroom idea.

It is also more in line with your general bedroom feel if you're working in the evening, though it might also make you drowsy.’ This means that if you need to generate some ideas, then warm, low lighting is a good choice. A study in Science Direct in 2013 suggested that dimmer lights can promote creative thinking by creating a feeling of freedom. Mitchell Elworthy, founder and director, The Lighting Outlet (opens in new tab), says: ‘While brighter lights may help increase productivity, the opposite is true when it comes to creativity. Dim, low lighting can lead to drowsiness or relaxation, while extremely bright lights can make you feel more alert but can also make you feel tense or upset.
