Certain scents can actually be incredibly effective at aiding concentration, as well as inspiring creativity. Peppermint is known to help prolong attention, which you'll find in our Onsen and Clean scents.

To aid focus, Cedarwood is the one. Find it in our Atlas Cedar line. If you prefer incense, we'd recommend our grounding Sandalwood Incense Sticks.

If your work has a no-burn policy, opt for one of our home mists for an instant scent lift. Alternatively, keep a little bottle of our new Clean Essential Oil on your desk.

Our speaker of choice (at Earl of East HQ) comes courtesy of Transparent Sound - a great sounding piece of technology paired with beautiful, minimal design. As for the playlist, we think our BookWorkShop playlist is a good choice for the office.

Is it just us, or is there something really cosy about desk lamp lighting? Especially in the evening. The right lighting in your work space can really help to set the mood. Instead of harsh cold lighting usually associated with office spaces, opt for something warmer and more comforting.

Tidy desk, tidy mind - need we say more. From stylish shelving to clever storage solutions, find a place for all your desk essentials in our office & stationery edit.

Books and magazines are essential for us in both our home and at work offices. Taking the time to shift your eyes away from the screen can be an invaluable source of inspiration. In our book shop you'll find some of our favourite books around business, art and design.

Practical items don't have to be boring. Show some personality (and seasonality) by switching out your office essentials and stationery. Treat yourself to something new or simply swap about the decor around your space.
