FAQs
What accessories to add to a desk?
In short, the answer to this question depends on how you’re using your desk. If you work on a laptop all day, you’re less likely to need pen pots or other stationery organizers. This means that you can opt for less practical accessories, and more aesthetic options, such as stylish lamps or bookcases. However, if you have a creative job that requires you to draw, paint, or measure, you’ll probably need to focus on adding accessories that make your desk more organized and structured. This way, you can give everything you need a home, without encroaching on your workspace.
How do I keep my desk aesthetic?
While it’s important to keep your desk organized with the right accessories, that doesn’t mean that you have to scrimp on the aesthetic. You can choose accessories that suit the color scheme for the room, you could choose a theme (e.g retro, modern, or Scandi), or shell out a little more on an aesthetically pleasing desk that offers more than just a wooden desktop and four legs. Then, if you have space, add plants and flowers to your desk to add another pop of color and inject a sense of calm into your WFH area. Of course, if you’re likely to forget to water real plants, opt for fake plants instead!
