When working from home, your office desk is where you’ll spend most of your working day. If you’re spending large amounts of time at your desk it’s important to ensure the space is comfortable and optimised for maximum productivity. A great way to make your office desk feel more personal and productive is with decorations.

In this blog, we’ll give you some of the top desk decor ideas for uniquely decorating your desk. Whether you’re looking for motivation, or design ideas to match your aesthetic, our decor ideas will help make your desk space more you. 
At Order Office Furniture we have a range of budget office desks for sale that you can decorate any way you want without breaking the bank.

Colour Themes 

If you’ve got a smaller office space you might think that creating interesting desk decor ideas is impossible, but you don’t need to make huge changes to have an impact. Small accents and subtle colour themes across your desk and office can make a huge difference without cluttering your space.

You can choose a colour or style theme and then implement this across basic items you’d already use on your desk. Opt for a sleek metallic touch by choosing stationary and accessories like desk lamps, clocks and calendars in gold, bronze or silver. 

You can also make a huge difference simply by adding a splash of paint. Upcycle or revamp your desk with a furniture paint of your choice and this can completely transform your space without having to add any extra items into the mix. We’ve got a diverse range of office desks in a number of colours and styles so you can choose the right one that’s perfect for your aesthetic. 

Bring a touch of nature to your workspace

Office Plants

Plants and greenery make for great office desk decoration and help to create a more uplifting and relaxing atmosphere in a workspace. You can decorate your desk with real low-maintenance plants like succulents, cacti and even aloe vera. 

Not only will these plants help brighten up your desk but they can actually improve your job satisfaction, with scientific research proving that office plants reduced stress, lower blood pressure and create a more comfortable environment. 

If you want plants purely for aesthetic purposes and don’t want to care for them you can choose false plants. These however won’t have the associated health benefits of the real deal. 

Natural Scents

If plants aren’t your thing you can still enjoy a natural feel using floral and plant-based scents. You can place candles, essential oils, or incense burners in a variety of scents on your desk. Lavender, bergamot or jasmine are great choices for creating a calm working environment.

Art and Photos 

For low-cost and low-effort desk decor ideas, consider purchasing artwork or printing photos to display around your desk area. You could create a gallery-style wall filled with your favourite paintings, or inspirational quotes to get you through the day. 

Investing in a desk like this work station desk will also provide you with ample desktop storage room for you to display any framed photos, of your family, friends or even pets. The cabinet-style slots also allow space for personal trinkets, ornaments or keepsakes that boost your mood. 

Functional Decor

If you want to know how to decorate a desk without removing work-related space then functional decor is a great option. This refers to items that you can use in your daily life that also give some depth to a room. Items like bulletin and cork boards can hold your important notes, to-do lists and reminders whilst helping your space look less bare.

If your area needs to stay professional-looking, you can decorate any executive office desks with these practical items for subtle and useful decor options.

Lighting

If you want to explore a similar route to functional desk decor ideas, then choosing the right lighting is the perfect solution. Not only is good lighting essential for helping you work properly but it can also completely transform a room and desk space.

In many rooms, lighting fixtures like chandeliers and lampshades are the focal point of the decor. You could place a hanging light directly above your desk to make it easier to write and type.

One unique idea is to purchase a daylight desk lamp that imitates natural light. If you don’t have the benefit of a window with clear access to light then this is a brilliant decor idea. Not only do these lamps help with eye strain but many lamps have settings that replicate the natural rising and setting of the sun, helping you to stay aware of your surroundings and schedule as you work throughout the day. 

DIY Decor

One quick and easy way to make your space feel more personal without breaking the bank is by creating some DIY decorations. You can bring a number of desk decor ideas to life with the resources you have lying around the house. If you’re looking for affordable furniture options, invest in our range of budget office furniture and transform it into a sophisticated, expensive-looking piece with your own DIY.

Make some paper bunting and attach it around the length of your desk to create a more positive office feel or create a tabletop or floating storage organiser using wood and your favourite paint. You could also create floating shelves from recycled wood and place them above your desk to store your textbooks or favourite magazines. Whatever DIY office desk decorations you choose, making them yourself is an easy way to ensure your office desk is truly unique.
