START WITH YOUR SPACE BY PAIGE BEATTIE

Your environment affects you. If you live in a cluttered room, your brain will be cluttered. If you live in an empty room, your imagination will decay. I was blessed to be raised in a house with HGTV playing 24/7 in the background of homework help and family dinners. Therefore, my Mom promoted herself to “Beattie Interior Designs.” There was never an empty hallway or clutter that stayed on the kitchen table for more than a day in 7611 Red Pines Drive. Because of this, I was always given the freedom to decorate my room. From pink plush carpet to a flower petal ceiling fan, even these childish elements contributed to my brand. Your space is what inspires you and drives your creativity. It's the last thing you see each night and the first thing you see each morning. Your room should inspire you to be the most creative version of yourself each day. So start by hanging up that family photo.
