Style Your Desk This Summer With A Few Simple Steps

Summer is the perfect time to revamp your work or study space. Whether you’re in an office or working from home, a few knickknacks and embellishments will not only make your desk look stylish, but also boost your productivity. If your workspace is in need of a major glow-up, follow The Design Collective Store’s guide to decorate your desk in a way that reflects your vibrant personality. 

Step 1: Find A Lamp

While natural sunlight in the morning and artificial light at night can be enough for you to finish your work, a good lamp can never be replaced. It adds a personal touch and can be a statement piece on your desk. Choose one that not only provides adequate lighting but also a splash of cuteness and color to your workspace. Think of it as a functional piece of decor that ties the entire desk together. 

Step 2: Art-ify The Space

Inject some personality into your desk with art. You can either invest in a big piece to glam up your wall or opt for smaller prints that you can place strategically for a significant impact. The key is to choose art that resonates with you and adds a pop of color to your workspace. 

Muses of Ceylon has some truly stylish graphic prints we just can’t get enough of. They are perfect for adding a chic, modern touch to your desk.

Step 3: Functional & Fashionable Organizations

An organized desk is a productive one. Introduce some structure with stylish organizers that help you keep everything in place. From pens to papers, having a designated spot for each item can make a huge difference. 

Elements from Safiya is a Sri-Lankan brand that creates organizers, art supplies, and other cases to help artists and hobbyists stay inspired. Woven & Willow design and create wicker furniture which you can use to store your essentials. 

Step 4: Fun Notebooks

You can never have too many notebooks! Make your to-do lists and note-taking a fun activity with colorful, printed notebooks that add a dash of joy to your daily routine. 

Studio XO’s notebooks are cute and functional, becoming the perfect instrument to write in. You can easily slip them into your work bag or keep them at your desk. 

Step 5: Soothing Scents

No desk setup is complete without a warm, soothing candle. The right scent can create a calming atmosphere, helping you stay focused and relaxed while you work. 

Candle House Ceylon offers a range of freshly scented artisanal candles in repurposed containers. Meantime, Aurelia Soapworks creates handmade candles in a variety of scenes to suit your mood and enhance your workspace.
