I just lately acquired an electronic mail from somebody that requested, “The place do you go for brand spanking new design inspiration?” She went on to say, “I exploit Houzz and many widespread websites, however I really feel like I’m caught in an algorithm and maintain seeing the identical issues.” I do know the sensation — it’s really easy to get caught. And all of us want some inspiration from outdoors sources!
An enormous a part of what we do right here as a staff at CLJ is visible media — from images of our dwelling and styling to digital graphics for present guides and round-ups. Our total staff likes to innovate and discover new angles, so it’s no shock that we’d like a stream of inspiration out there always. More often than not, we get our greatest concepts from Instagram, Pinterest, magazines and low desk books. After all all of us have laptops and telephones within the CLJ studio, however we’ve been lacking that tangible hold-in-your-hands inspiration.

That gave me the thought to create an “workplace library”! The convention room partitions have featured three bulletin boards on them since we first moved in, and earlier than that they have been within the workplace of our earlier home. We had lower out a few of our favourite journal spreads and displayed them on the boards, however we weren’t refreshing them typically sufficient. It was simply not as practical for our on a regular basis routines.


So a few weeks in the past, Chris and I put up some clear cabinets to create a bit of library wall of media. Now every of us on the staff can dive into some studying materials every time we would like a recent perspective (or perhaps a little down time throughout lunch!). I stuffed the cabinets with a giant pile of dwelling design and cooking magazines, and I plan to rotate in some espresso desk books.
