6 Proven Tips To Help You Find The Inspiration To Finish That Project<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all been there: you began your project with bundles of enthusiasm, setting about the tasks with drive and vigour. But then you take a break, or you wear yourself out, or perhaps become distracted by another idea.<\/p>\n

Trying to revisit your project feels akin to wading through water. You can never truly get back into your stride, and before you know it, your project falls by the wayside. You need inspiration to come along, slap you round the face, chuck a cold glass of water over you to get you back on track (metaphorically speaking of course: we wouldn\u2019t want our make-up running now would we?). Here are a few ideas to turn that wasted inspiration around and start accomplishing your interior design goals.<\/p>\n

Magazines<\/h3>\n

A quick way to kill your motivation is to burn yourself out. Trying to do too much is not always a good thing, so make time for rest. Put your feet up with a cup of tea (or wine depending on how the day has gone) and flick through a magazine. Inspiration can pounce at any time, but a good interior design magazine can stir your imagination immediately.<\/p>\n

Magazines are a hot bed of inspiration and a superb way to get ideas whilst relaxing. I keep a folder that is filled with pages pulled out of magazines, pictures that caught my eye and provide ideas when I need it. Look at the picture, try to figure out why you like it, what part of it appealed to you? Once you know that, who knows, you could find yourself back on track to completing your project.<\/p>\n

Take a Walk<\/h3>\n

Inspiration can strike when you least expect it, but it can be provoked by a long stroll. Not only is it good exercise, it is a way to clear your head and take your mind off the matter. I always find my best ideas come to me when I least expect it, and taking a walk certainly helps.<\/p>\n

Be Prepared \u2013 Lightening Only Strikes Once<\/h3>\n

I once had a friend who would wake up in the middle of the night with a brilliant idea, grab a pen and scribble it on the wall next to his bed. In the morning he\u2019d wake up to gibberish scrawled across the wall above his pillow and no idea what he had meant to write in the first place.
\nThe moral of that story is to always have a means of recording those ideas. Download a note or voice memo app to your phone, or carry a notebook and pen if you\u2019re old-school. You don\u2019t want to let that idea pass you by, and don\u2019t kid yourself you\u2019ll remember it. You don\u2019t have to log entire passages of text, just a headline is often enough to get you back on track. A quick flick through the notes on my phone produces a variety of weird and wonderful ideas:<\/p>\n
