Decorating, practice
Observed elsewhere that it was common for those who did not practice magic, but thought it was really cool, to have all sorts of stuff that looked magical, but did exactly jack. Also, said Cool Stuff would be displayed proudly, whether or not it had any magical virtue.
Those who actually actively practice, on the other hand, rarely have a show-perfect altar set up: in practice, it tends to collect the things that work, even if they are odd little bits and pieces. Not all actual magical items would look magical to the layman.
The magical workspace tends to reflect the practitioner. If someone's neat and tidy, and their living space tends to look like it's straight out of a magazine, their workspace will likely look that way too. If, however, they're apt to have less than perfect tidiness in other areas, the workspace will also reflect that.
If someone's workspace doesn't reflect their personality, then they probably aren't very active in working magic.

...it might not mean that they're not very active, more than that they're just very lazy.
Well...
