Promotional Feature
However small our living space, most of us appreciate having a specific area to store our paperwork
and use our laptops. It keeps everything in one place, helps us stay on top of our complicated lives – and, if we make it enticing enough, will help us to be super-organised (well, in theory).
If you work from home – which many of us do these days – it’s even more important to create a truly inviting workspace. That may be just a small table tucked neatly into an recessed area, a desk in the corner of the living room, or, if you’re lucky, a whole room to set up as a study with shelves and a filing cabinet.
Whichever option works best for you, the new Sainsbury’s Ethereal collection has a fresh Scandinavian feel that’s really stylish. What’s more, there is a stunning stationery range that’s very affordable. You’ll find smart geometric notebooks, an elegant noticeboard, a retro wooden calendar and a practical planner, as well as essential files, wallets and storage drawers. Even basics like paperclips and binder clips come in rose gold with matching gold-topped jars.
And because desks aren’t all about work, you’ll want to add some finishing touches for when your work is packed away. With the Ethereal collection there are also co-ordinating picture frames, inspiring hanging plaques, geometric vases and an elegant wall clock. Get organised this spring and treat yourself to some beautiful new stationery and home office accessories.
