Others call it a desk, but you call it a shelf at best.
Every time I finish writing in my diary, my desk is bound to be a mess (I'm sure I'm not the only one). If you want to keep your desk tidy and beautiful while keeping your stationery within easy reach, this article from Sanfenhe will tell you how to solve this problem.
——Sumsum who likes to stare at the desk
Because I have shared my desk on Weibo before, many girls asked me for links to some desk items. So today, I posted my desk this month and shared with you in detail my storage items and some small storage methods.
March Desk▲
July Desk▲
I will fine-tune my desk layout based on different items and different needs each month, but the general layout will not change much.
1. Utilize vertical space
Because the size of the desktop is limited, if you spread everything out flat, there will be no room for everything. So we can use the vertical distance from the desktop to the ceiling (or from the desktop to the bed in the dormitory, etc.) to place things higher and let it grow vertically, which will save a lot of desktop space.
2. Create Plate Space
Sometimes we put partitions in the closet to create space, and we can also use this to organize desks. You can buy storage products with partitions according to your own item classification, such as four-layer drawers, so that you can clearly separate and place the classified items, and it will be clear and convenient to put in and take out.
3. Unified style
If the desktop has too many colors and the styles are too different, it will look messy. Therefore, before arranging it, it is best to consider what style you want to arrange the desktop in. For example, my desktop is generally cool in color, and I mostly use transparent acrylic storage and white frosted storage, which is relatively simple in style.
After determining the style, you can then proceed with purchasing and arranging to unify the tone and style and avoid visual clutter.
Next, I will introduce to you the specific items on my desk and how to buy them. I hope it can be a reference for friends who like this style.
For the convenience of explanation, I divided the desktop into three areas: A, B, and D (the small cart next to the table), and will introduce them in order.
1Simple storage box
This white storage box was purchased at IKEA . It is very useful. I used to use it to store a lot of bottles and jars of skin care products. Later, I used it to store my various notebooks. The color is very simple and it is very cheap, so it is very cost-effective.
By the way, if you want to go shopping at IKEA, you can download an app [IKEA Store] on your phone . It has powerful functions and a wide range of products. You can directly check the price of anything you want to buy, and after locating, you can also see if there is stock in the IKEA near your home. Of course, you can also write down the number and location of the product you like, so you can go directly to it when you go shopping~
2 Acrylic Earring Storage
This is an acrylic earring storage purchased on Taobao. It is suitable for fairies who have a lot of earrings.
The advantage is that it is clear at a glance and easy to store and access. The disadvantage is that the capacity is actually not very large, especially if the earrings are relatively long, it will take up more space. For example, I have about 20 pairs of earrings, and it is a little bit insufficient.

The small vases and artificial flowers for decoration were bought from IKEA. They are both practical and beautiful. The most important thing is that they are really too cheap. Just the price of an ice cream. You won’t suffer any loss or be cheated.
5 wide mouth vases + spices
I bought it from IKEA. It's very cheap and the spice can be used for a very long time. However, it is so fragrant that I only took out a little bit and used it for a year. It still smells very fragrant when I smell it up close. So be careful when buying this spice~
6 small dolls
It's Gaara. Old fans should all know how obsessed I am with Naruto and my love for Gaara. I had hundreds of Naruto character figures back then, but I sold them all when I moved. Only this Gaara, which was given to me by a good friend, was left. He is my favorite.
