Why Style Matters In Your Workspace

If you love a space you are going to be more excited to work in that space. If it’s depressing then it will make it more difficult to feel inspired and on task.

Visual clutter isn’t going to make you super productive, it can also mean that you are carrying a lot of mental clutter. This also impacts how you work too.

The idea of aesthetic doesn’t have to mean that it’s impractical, there are so many solutions for organizing your desk, I’m positive that something that is pleasant to look at as well as functioning is available.

Having systems that keep your desk looking and feeling organized will help you maintain that space and keep it looking great.

Essentials You Actually Need (That Can Still Be Cute)

As with all office supplies there are a lot of areas that we need to discuss, let’s break them down into different functions so we can look at the products that will serve us.

Desk Top Organizers

As with any desk top, having the right things on the desk for you is important. Some people need things out while others are OK, with putting things out of sight. It depends on how you work will depend on how much stuff is visible on your desk at any given time.

For me, I like to get everything out that I am going to need for the day, I don’t like digging into my drawers as this often means I need to move my chair. My hubby on the other hand doesn’t like anything out on his desk, he is very minimal and likes to hide things away.

So, lets look at options that you can use for your desk top that are practical but also cute:

If you have pens on your desk, then you need somewhere to store them and I think this is practical, versatile, and cute.

Paper Storage On Your Desk

If you store paper notes or files on your desk a simple paper tray will keep your desk tidy and functional.

Sometimes we need paper, there is no getting away from it, from daily planning to invoices, businesses still use paper and we have to have a way to keep it under control. Think vertical file holders to filing cabinets for the stuff that needs even more organizing.

Paper is one of those things that I think are still going to be around for a few years yet, so keeping it under control is important on any desk.

Drawer Dividers For Inside Your Desk

Just because items go inside a drawer doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be cute, organized and functional. Let’s look at what we can use inside our desks and particularly in the drawers to see what we can do to make the storage work as well as looking cute.

Having the right sized space for items so they don’t look cluttered and messy is the key. Check out these cute coloured plastic drawer organizers, they are functional and you can pick the colour you like.

Want something with more flexibility then how about these drawer dividers? They come in a pack of 8 and they can either go across or down the depth of the drawer. Perfect for larger items you store in your desk drawer.

Cable Management On Your Desk

When it comes to cables we can have a lot of them and they need to be kept tidy, not only does it look better but also you are less likely to accidently trip on cables if they are kept tidy.

You might be surprised at what you can get to keep your cables tidy and organized. If you have a lot of cables that you have to use all the time these cable tidies will keep your cables organized until you need them.

A cable sleeve holds all your cables together so they don’t become individual tripping hazards. These are perfect if you have a lot of cables that go to the same place.

A socket box is a place to put extension cords inside to protect them from being knocked or the unsightly look of an extension cord.

Don’t forget to label your cords so you know what each one is for! I love the Katasymbol label maker for this task.

These items go together as part of your cable organization.

Tech Stands That Match Your Style

If you use a tablet, having a stand can make using it easier. I love the look of this tablet stand it moves easily and that allows the user to position it perfectly for them.

A laptop stand is required if you need to use your laptop for any video calling, unless you want the other members of your call looking up your nose. Laptops are great but they do have that issue where they aren’t always tall enough for the work you need to do.
