Now in lockdown week three, we’re inevitably getting a little sick of the spaces we’ve confined ourselves in. Whether it’s boredom from being surrounded by the same set of walls for weeks, or having serious FOMO from the sun beaming through our windows, our positivity and productivity levels are set to take a downfall the further down the lockdown line we go. 

Dorothy Parker once said that “the cure for boredom is curiosity”, and in times like these, what better way to be curious than to look to new things for inspiration.
