Creative and Inspirational Workspaces

With the advent of the internet, the idea of a workspace has transformed into something much more than a sterile desk in a gray cubicle or even a plank of mahogany in a corner office. So many jobs now encourage employees to work from home, and even more artists and designers are inspired to work from beautiful spaces they create themselves. In this post, we'll explore 20 gorgeous and inspirational workspaces where anyone would be lucky to spend a day.
