It happens that the weekend is coming, so why not do a desk renovation this week ? The desk should be beautiful, and storage and decoration should be combined.

The first step is storage

The desk can be divided into four storage places: desktop, drawer, desk side, and wall . Different stylists will have different storage spaces. For example, minimalists may prefer to store items in drawers to ensure that everything they see is minimalist, while notebook experts will be more willing to display those precious paper tapes and cowhide notebooks on the desktop, which will give them a full sense of accomplishment at a glance.

Therefore, it is recommended to choose items to store the desk in different areas according to your own style preferences and habits.

1⃣️Desktop Storage

It is best to store frequently used items on the desktop so that they are easily accessible.

If you prefer a simpler desktop, you can choose a frosted transparent bookend to store documents or books vertically, which saves space while improving the appearance; small items such as pens, masking tapes, erasers, etc. can be classified and stored in a multi-grid storage box .

If there is not enough desktop space, you can also add a U-shaped display rack as shown in the lower left corner of the picture below to increase storage space.

If you are a notebook enthusiast, the storage on your desktop may be a display of your own art. You can directly install a large storage cabinet on the desktop , with each area separated by function. If you have a lot of pens, you can choose a slanted compartment pen holder to classify and store the pens.

Tips: It is best to divide the functions of the pens in the pen holder. Otherwise, even if the division is done well, you may still just randomly insert them into a grid after each use, and those thinner and shorter pens may be submerged in the group of pens.

If you like the retro feel, the material of the desktop storage box and tools is more important. It is best to choose wood or leather, and then choose different storage boxes to match and combine.

A retro stationery box is opened and placed casually in front of the desk, containing some small items such as stickers, stamps, seals, etc., as well as some scattered items that need to be used at any time. It looks neat and rich, and is convenient to use.

Or you can place a multi-layered storage cabinet with different heights and widths to store stamps, glue sticks and other items. The materials of the notebook are themselves very artistic, and you can quickly create the tone of the corner by simply arranging them in a display style.

2⃣️ Drawer storage

Many people's drawers are a mess when they are opened, and they have to search through mountains and seas every time they want to find something, but a good drawer should look like this when it is opened.

It can be seen that in order to store the drawer well, the items in the drawer must be classified . The same is true for the storage of desk drawers. If the drawer itself does not have a compartment function, we can use some storage artifacts.

For example, this transparent acrylic storage box with built-in partitions can be used to put scissors and utility knives in one compartment, tape and eraser in another, pens in another, and paper clips and sticky notes in another. This way, you can see everything clearly when you open the drawer.

If the drawer size is not suitable, it is recommended to choose these lidless storage boxes of different sizes and combine them yourself.

Or you can use a more convenient tool and insert partition inserts into the desk drawer to give you more freedom.

Tips: Try not to stack items in the drawer, and make sure all items can be taken and put back in one step, so as to keep the drawer tidy.

3⃣️ Desk storage

If there is not enough space on the desk itself, we can also use the space around the desk.

Adding a mobile storage cart next to or under the desk is equivalent to adding a three-layer drawer, and the storage method of the cart should also be classified and stored according to the key points of desktop storage.

4⃣️ Wall storage

One way to expand a small apartment is to create more space on the wall. You can install two partitions on the wall to place books or small ornaments.

The perforated board is more convenient. You can hang a hook on any hole to store hair bands, pens, or even place an extra whiteboard. For a specific guide on how to match the perforated board, please refer to >>The Perfect Guide to Perforated Boards for Less than 100 Yuan<<.

Of course, we can also install the grid storage cabinet directly on the wall.

Step 2 Decoration

Imagine bending over your desk late at night, and occasionally looking up to catch a glimpse of small objects around you, or creative paintings decorating the wall. Wouldn’t such a desk instantly give you more inspiration?

The decorative area of ​​the desk can be the desktop and the wall in front of the desk.

1⃣️Desktop decorations

In addition to increasing the overall indoor confidence, aromatherapy can also make people feel happy and relieve mental stress.

Placing some creative small trays to store jewelry or small desktop items can add points to the desktop.

2⃣️ Wall decorations

Wall stickers are decorations that many celebrities have liked in recent years. They are low-cost and beautiful. Abstract graphics and simple texts can easily create an artistic atmosphere. They can even be achieved with postcards or self-printed creative paintings.

The cotton and linen hanging cloth calendar is also a very good wall decoration. It is also convenient for checking the date. This kind of calendar has a light homestay style.

LED lights are the easiest way to turn the entire space into a warm and romantic place in seconds. Use wire to carve your own name and then wrap a string of lights around it. Creating at night can create a quiet sense of space for yourself.

There is no standard for desk decoration. As long as it can make you feel good and comfortable, it is worth decorating. Succulents, flowers, and beautiful cups are all fine. But since it is a decoration, it must be those with high appearance value that can serve as an embellishment. For example, if you have a succulent plant in a low-quality plastic pot, it is best to replace it with a more creative pot.

Conclusion

A desk, a book, a cup of tea, a piece of music, it constitutes the place where we place our souls. Why not take your desk seriously, so that you can have a moment to slow down in your busy life and write your own story. END
