Today’s fast-paced, overworked and underpaid society<\/strong> is becoming trapped within a dangerous dogma: from morning until night, we’re just zombies, on the hunt for fresh coffee<\/strong> and racing through deadlines to remember, only at the end of the day, that we’ve missed soccer matches and music recitals<\/strong> or we were meant to run down to the supermarket<\/strong> to fetch something for dinner. Why do we need art in the workplace?<\/p>\n

\"photo-1461950209984-1ce1f03a1be9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In a world like ours where, too often, we shut ourselves off from our natural environments<\/strong>, many studies have proven that visual stimuli can help us<\/strong> take a moment to be still, quiet our minds and reset our internal clocks <\/strong>with workplace art. What does it mean for your business?<\/strong> More focused staff, higher levels of motivation and happiness<\/a>, less spillage\/wastage in production lines and better customer service<\/strong>, which leads to an increase in sales<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

\"photo-1433357094834-cdeebc8e9dce\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Motivational quotes<\/strong> are great but can sometimes make employees feel as if they’re just numbers, trudging through a system that only tells them they need to keep pushing further and harder to achieve their employers’ targets. Using tranquil images or points of interest<\/strong> can actually help staff zone out, percolate some of their best ideas and allow for more creative thinking and problem solving.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"IMG_1459\"<\/a>Above is an example that works so well – our very own Printwild office<\/strong>! Charlotte and Prenessa face this beautiful piece on a daily basis and it really helps to escape work stress and concentrate on keeping our customers happy<\/strong>. We even have a stunning canvas print<\/a> mounted up in our stairway<\/strong>, for everyone to enjoy and marvel at on their way to and from the kitchen<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"Why<\/a><\/p>\n

Whether it’s a beautiful image<\/strong><\/a> or a custom<\/strong> Printwild wallpaper<\/strong><\/a>, try out this simple technique for motivating your staff and share your team’s feedback with us<\/strong> on Facebook<\/a>, Twitter<\/a> or Instagram<\/a><\/strong>.
