A great deal of psychological and productivity research has gone into discovering how the design of the physical environment can improve creative performance. Yet nearly all of it has focused on the workplace, commercial spaces, and schools. What has been largely overlooked is the one place we spend more time in than anywhere else and where more people than ever are now working: the home. My Creative Space shows how readers can boost their creative output by applying science-backed techniques to the design and decoration of their home, regardless of size, type, style, or location.
