Whether you\u2019re an artist, a designer, a writer or simply someone waiting for inspiration to strike, it\u2019s important to keep in mind that our environment plays a critical role in how we think and behave.

Here are five ways to give you the extra boost you need to reach new artistic heights.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Breathe new life into your home with plants.<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_231113\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-231113\" class=\"wp-image-231113 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/livingroom-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/livingroom-1.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/livingroom-1-526x350.jpg 526w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/livingroom-1-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-231113\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/photo\/-eclectic-living-room\/363263\/\">Cumberland Street residence by Geremia Design<\/a>. Photo by Laure Joliet<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Adding plants to your space not only stimulates your thought process, but it also enhances positive energy. Plants improve the air quality around you, providing more oxygen to the brain so you feel more energized, motivated and focused. Researchers at the University of Exeter, found that plants have been shown to increase creativity by 45 percent and productivity by 38 percent.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_231123\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-231123\" class=\"wp-image-231123 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/plants.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"287\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-231123\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Left: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/building-garden\/garden-ornaments\/victorian-mahogany-glass-terrarium\/id-f_736876\/\">Victorian mahogany and glass terrarium, offered by Relics Antiques<\/a>.

Think modern terrariums, assorted pots, large potted plants or bamboo shoots. Instead of letting those awkward room corners go to waste, place a large well-developed tree to add height and drama to your space. For a chic and whimsical vibe, hang a cluster of glass air plants next to a window or consider making a statement in your living room with a lush, vertical wall garden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since blue is naturally calming, it\u2019s the perfect power-concentration color for the hyperactive or easily distracted.

Bright rooms make us feel happier, more alive and vibrant. People who are regularly exposed to natural light tend to get more sleep at night, and they also tend to be more alert and focused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mirrors reflect light, so the more mirrors you have in a room, the more light will bounce from wall to wall. This is a great trick for spaces with limited windows. Hang mirrors opposite windows to maximize the natural light in your room.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_231173\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-231173\" class=\"wp-image-231173 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/mirror.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/mirror.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/mirror-526x350.jpg 526w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/mirror-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-231173\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Left: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/photo\/bedroom-contemporary-bedroom\/349582\/\">Bedroom by Kristen McGinnis Design<\/a>.
