For many of us who work in an office, most of our work day is spent sitting at our desks. Therefore, it is essential to decorate these pieces of office furniture in a way that inspires us and motivates us to do our job better. Studies show that the right office desk decor can help improve focus and transform your workspace. 

This article lists five unique and easy ways to decorate your office desk for better productivity and a fresher look!

1. Desk Plants

Bringing the outdoors in the form of indoor or desk plants can have significant benefits for employees. Various studies have shown that adding a plant to your work surrounding can reduce stress, increase productivity and improve air quality. Keeping these benefits aside, plants also add an aesthetic look to your workplace and are an easy way to brighten your desk. We understand that not everyone has a green thumb, so if you are looking for a good plant for your office desk that is also low-maintenance, we suggest purchasing succulents. They are easy to care for, don’t require much attention and have the same benefits as any other plant. 

2. Desk Accessories and Stationery

Decorating your office desk does not have to be boring. There are several desk decoration items that look great, and check all the boxes in terms of functionality. Quirky office supplies such as colourful pens, markers, post-it notes and planners are great ways to add a pop of colour to your desk. Once your office stationery is ready, it’s time to invest in desk accessories. Desktop accessories like pen holders, letter trays and bookends will add a fun dimension to your desk and help keep your workspace clutter-free. If you work long hours, you can also invest in ergonomic accessories such as wrist rests to ensure a pain-free working experience throughout the day.

3. Lamps

One of the best office desk decoration ideas is the addition of lamps to your workspace. Lamps are an excellent source of lighting for your desk so you can see your computer screen more clearly. With a bright lamp, you can work better and more comfortably. They also enhance your work ambience significantly. Whether you’re looking for the ambient light that desk lamps provide or the versatility of floor lamps for your space, we have just what you need. Our desk and floor lamps are available in a range of styles from modern to classic and are perfect for an office setting or your home office. Take a look!

4. Stationery Organisation Supplies

Just like knowing how to decorate your office desk, it is equally important to understand how to organise your supplies for better productivity. Office furniture and supplies can affect productivity significantly and, when not kept in a tidy manner, can ruin your flow at work. When decorating your office desk, try to opt for space-saving accessories. From organisers and assortment cases for smaller office supplies to bookcases and storage containers for bigger items, explore smart tools to keep your desk organised and stylish. If you have a lot of wires and cables cluttering your desk, you can also neatly tuck them away with a robust cable management system. 

5. Personal touches

Adding personal touches to your office desk décor is a great way to add a sense of individuality and feel happier at work. To enhance the look of your work desk, try adding picture frames in various sizes like A1, A2, A3 and A4. You can choose to add family photos, a quote you love or an abstract painting in your favourite colour. If you don’t have a lot of space on your desk, you can also try out magnetic sign holders that are available in various colours, fit A4 size sheets and are easy to insert and remove.
