Book Review – My Creative Space: How to Design Your Home to Stimulate Ideas and Spark Innovation

December 26, 2021 by Shellie Wilson

My Creative Space

Scientists have been uncovering links between physical location and the creative mind for over two decades. My Creative Space, written by a well-known architect, is the first book to translate this wealth of psychological research into practical strategies for structuring your house for optimum creativity.

Here’s a sampling of the techniques you’ll learn about:

  • Which colors lead to peak creative performance
  • How furnishings influence mental processing
  • Optimal lighting and noise levels for achieving breakthrough insights
  • Pros and cons of messy versus neat environments
  • How memorabilia can break creative logjams
  • Why ceiling height matters
  • Which home-based activities enhance creative problem solving
  • And more

Illustrating the book’s 48 techniques are over 200 high-quality photos of creative workspaces and home interiors from around the world, many the work of top-tier architects, designers, and at-home creatives.

Whether you pursue creativity for pleasure or profit, work from home part- or full-time, whether you’re a writer, entrepreneur, creative professional, artist, crafter, or simply enjoy being inventive, this book will help you do it better. No prior expertise in design or psychology required!
