Who doesn’t want a nice, cozy desk setup?
Our environment has such as big impact on how productive we are and how well we work. With the amount of time we spend working at our desks, we should make them an enjoyable place for us to be.
Here are 5 simple tips that’ll help you create a beautiful and cozy desk setup!
Pick a color scheme
Start by picking one or more colors that you’d like to incorporate into your desk space.
Having a specific color(s) that you like to decorate your desk with will help your space look clean, cohesive and cozy.
If you want to incorporate more than one color, Coolers is a great, free website you can use to easily generate color schemes.
Press the space bar to generate color schemes. If you see a color you like, press the padlock icon on top of that color to lock it in. When you press the space bar again, it’ll generate new color schemes that match with the color you’ve locked in.
You can also press the X button to remove colors and create schemes with fewer colors.
When you’re ready to start decorating your desk space, keep the color or color scheme you’ve chosen in mind. There’s no need to stick to your chosen colors perfectly, but they can help you out if you’re not sure what items to get.
As long as you decorate with items you love, your desk space will look nice!
Personalize your desk space to fit your needs
What is something that would bring you comfort that your desk space is missing? Whatever it is will change from person to person, so here are a few suggestions:
- If the air is too dry: get a small humidifier
- If you get too hot: get a cooling desk fan
- If you get cold easily: get a heated blanket or a mini heater
- If your hands get dry: keep a nice hand/body lotion on your desk
- If you love hot drinks like coffee or tea: keep a mug warmer on your desk
Invest in stylish staple pieces
Replace your generic office supplies with stylish alternatives that fit your style. Remember to keep your chosen color or color scheme in mind when picking your items so they look great together.
Here are some items you may want to consider replacing plus some cute options you may like:
- Lamp (here’s a light pink one)
- Stapler (here’s a sky blue one)
- Scissors (here’s a white and gold one)
- Tape dispenser (here’s a hedgehog shaped one)
- Pencil holder (here’s a gray marble one)
- Tissue box (here’s a house shaped one)
- Notepad (here’s a plant themed one)
- Sticky notes (here’s a cute animal themed pack)
- Pens (here’s a pastel pack in black ink)
These things may seem small, but they’re the items that add up to create the overall theme of your desk space!
Keep your desk space organized
Don’t underestimate the power of a clean space! One of the keys to a cozy desk setup is keeping it nice and organized.
Even if you think you can work around a messy desk, the truth is that having things scattered around can easily cause you to feel overwhelmed.
If you don’t have enough room, get yourself a cute desk organizer like this rose gold one. That way, you’ll able to give your stuff a place.
Get the right desk chair
Having a nice desk space isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about comfort too!
The right desk chair is very important. Try to find something with lower back support to help keep your posture correct while you work.
Don’t be afraid to pick a chair in a color other than black or gray! Black and gray desk chairs are common and they tend to go well with most spaces, but a fun color can really bring things together (especially if it matches your color scheme).
Take a look at the staple pieces you have on your desk and try to match your desk chair to them. Here’s an inexpensive desk chair that has lower back support and comes in a few nice colors.
