Workplace Style: The Top 10 Easy Decorating Ideas for Your Work Desk

Whether you have a cubicle or office, your work space is a place that you spend a lot of time. Creating a work space that is not only comfortable but shows your personality is a great way to make your office feel a bit more like home. Not sure where to start when it comes to decorating your work space? Here are our top 10 easy decorating ideas for your work desk to help you create a space you want to work in everyday.

  1. Bring in your favorite photos

When it comes to easy decorating tips, bringing your favorite photos to your work space is one of the easiest ways to decorate and personalize your desk. Not only can you bring photos of friends, family, and pets, but you can also add a pop of personality with colorful and decorative picture frames too. Photos can sit on your desk or decorate your cubicle or office wall, depending on your style and the size of your work space.

  1. Brighten your work space with flowers (fake or real!)

Flowers are a terrific way to brighten your work space and add a bit of personality. And, the combination of flowers can be endless. You can also rotate flowers depending on the season or occasion. But, flowers can be costly to purchase, have a short shelf life, and may be an allergen to some of your co-workers. If this is the case for you, consider investing in fake flowers. They’ll still add a pop of color and personality to your desk while avoiding the negative aspects of purchasing real flowers. And, as an added bonus, they are eco-friendly too! 

  1. Add in some greenery with plants

If you still crave a bit of nature in your office and don’t want to purchase fake flowers, why not add in some greenery with live plants? Live plants like succulents and cactus tend to be allergen-friendly or have lower pollen counts and are an excellent alternative to live or fake flowers. You can look for different types of plants and planters for additional personality and theming at your desk.

  1. Accentuate with color

A really simple, yet effective way to decorate your work space is to add in a pop of color. Choose a color or two to accentuate your office or desk with colorful paper products and other supplies. If you’re looking to decorate your office on a budget, this can be a really easy way to incorporate a bit of personality without breaking the bank.

  1. Hang some wall art

Adding in some wall art to your office or cubicle can really add a bit of style and personality to any office space. You can decorate more elaborately with framed art or keep it simple with a few decorative prints. If you’re looking for unique and stylish art pieces, you can even look at sites like Etsy for art inspiration with a personal flair.

  1. Bring your own stylish chair or pillows

Most office chairs are pretty drab and plain. If you have the option, bringing in a stylish chair can be a great way to customize your work space. Look for chairs that are not only colorful and stylish but that are also functional for your daily work tasks, so you’re comfortable too. If bringing in your own chair isn’t allowed or too costly, consider bringing in colorful, decorative pillows as an alternative option to add to your office chair set-up for a bit more personality.

  1. Store your office supplies creatively

You don’t have to just rely on the traditional desk organizers to store your office supplies, like pens, paper clips, and post-it notes. Add a bit of personality by using unique ways to store your office supplies. Mason jars, table trays, and other unexpected items are great ways to store your office supplies creatively.

  1. Incorporate decorative planners and notebooks

Decorating your work space doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive. One affordable and easy way to decorate your desk is to add in colorful and decorative planners and notebooks. These can be cheap and easy to find, while adding a bit of your own personality into your desk space.

  1. Create a custom desk calendar

Just like decorative planners and notebooks, creating a custom desk calendar is another easy and simple way to make your desk space your own. Double up on adding photos to your desk and a custom desk calendar by creating a calendar that includes personal photos too. There are loads of templates to create your own desk calendar. Or, you can find lots of unique desk calendars online too.

  1. Use personalized mugs to decorate your desk

When it comes to work, there’s a pretty good chance you are going to be drinking coffee, tea, or water while you’re in the office. That means you probably have a mug or two to bring with you to work. Use personalized mugs that show off your personality and style to not only drink a cup of morning Joe, but to also add a bit of flair to your work desk too.

Style Matters: Decorate Your Work Desk Easily

No matter what your style or budget, there are lots of ways you can decorate your work space with ease. From simple decorative elements and personal photos to tackling a craft project, there are a variety of options to personalize your desk or office. With just a few simple items, you can easily incorporate elements that show off your personality and make your work space a comfortable place to spend your 9 to 5 day.
