This week, guest writer Gabriella Cetrulo curates selections for creative workspaces.

Be it be writer, designer, photographer, or painter, workspaces are central to the creative process. The right light, space, and tools have the ability to impact the outcome of any project.

One aspect of creative workspaces that is sometimes overlooked is its aesthetic connection to an artist’s personal style. A visually stimulating workspace can inspire and keep an artist in the right frame of mind. With that as a guideline, I decided to find items for four timeless workspaces, inspired by the old world painters and photographers that still influence me today.

    No matter how large a work area you occupy, it is the feel of the environment that makes work not only possible, but creative. So in spite of having lots of space to create, I bring my work upstairs and sit in a sunny window, or work outside where my brain can breathe and I can infuse my work with the ease that nature brings.

    as an "artist", i have always had a space for working out my creative ideas - sometimes large spaces, sometimes (like right now) very small. i do feel that it is always good to have a place to spread out and CREATE - it definitely stimulates the artistic process and gives you somewhere to leave your sketches!
