5 Tips on Decorating Your Workspace

Who said your office desk should be boring and faceless? Surrounding yourself with memorable stuff and hip décor items will make it much cozier and inspire you to new career achievements as you sit back in your chair enjoying the incredible atmosphere created with your own hands! Here are five ideas on sprucing up your workspace that you have probably thought about hundreds of times without actually giving it a shot. Time to fix that!

• - Arrange your desk colors

While choosing decorations for their office space, people tend to focus on items themselves almost completely ignoring such important aspect as color. Meanwhile, mixing and matching various solids, neutrals and pastels can make working at your desk much more enjoyable. Try sorting office supplies according to their color and if there are any gaps throw in some bold-colored stuff to complete the set.

• - Pick the right accessories

You may think that scissors, markers, and clips are mere office supplies, but you can turn them into a powerful design tool. Vintage pens, goofy pencils with cartoon characters, limited edition computer accessories and other things that you won’t see on anyone else’s desk will help you feel more comfortable and express your personality.

• - Add a few knick-knacks

Furnishing your work space with lovely trifles like sea shells, ceramic cat figurines or family photos will give it a finished and cozy look. Just don’t overdo it – a couple of items will be enough to achieve the desired effect. Make sure the stuff you choose fits into the entire color scheme and design concept of your desk.

• - Use post-it-notes

Bright post-it-notes with imaginative messages or drawings can be really helpful in coordinating parts of your desk design. With the diversity of colors, sizes and shapes they are available in, you will have more than enough options to selects from. Aside from using them according to their intended purpose, you can create various patterns on the top or side of your office table – and change them with your mood!

• - Experiment with lights

Lights can drastically change the entire atmosphere of your desk space. Try moving your table closer to a window to get more natural light or use LED smart bulbs that alter color and work in different modes. You can even go for something like an illuminated desk fountain that will keep you perfectly calm and cheerful on particularly stressful days.
