You can change your office desk’s look by hanging some prints of motivational quotes, photos of your favorite places, postcards, flowers- anything that can cheer your mood up.
You can also hang some friends and family photos to feel like a home. And if you are more creative, feel free to decorate your office wall with some handmade art craft.
2- Soothe Your Eyes with Greenery
Since you are going to spend all day in front of your laptop, let your eyes breathe a little.
Not only will the plants look attractive on your desk, but they will also soothe your eyes while working. Moreover, indoor plants are known for purifying the air around them. And a green office equals increased productivity.
According to a study, office plants can increase happiness and productivity among employees.
So, go ahead and buy some office desk plants and decorate them in cute vases. Please stay away from the hassle of watering them every day by opting for some low-maintenance plants like peace lily, snake plant, and cactus.
3- Say Yes to Bookends
I know, it’s hard to open a book during your office hours. But, who can ignore the joy of being surrounded by some good books?
So, bring a few of your current reads or some favorite books in your office. Stack those books in a stylish and trendy bookend. And voila! You’re all set to transform your boring office desk into a sophisticated, cultural study place.
The bonus? You can even assemble your office files, folders, and manuals in the bookends. This will keep your desk organized and clutter-free.
4- Keep Colorful Notes Handy
Need to jot down a quick thought or a colleague’s number? Instead of writing them in the diary, keep colorful notes handy.
Colorful notes come in different shapes and sizes. If you keep them in note-holders, they’ll look elegant on your office desk.
You can even use them to decorate your desk wall. Simply write a motivational quote, and stick it on the wall. This will keep you motivated all day long.
5- Stay Clutter-free with Organizers
Instead of working in a messy desk, invest in a multi-purpose desk organizer. Decorating your office desk with an organizer will offer you a tidy workspace.
A tidy workspace will be a reflection of your professionalism.

Life is too short to keep the whiteboards boring! Yes, you need to decorate your whiteboards also. After all, who’d like to look at a boring whiteboard to see all the upcoming tasks and meetings?
So, purchase some beautiful washi tape and tape down the edges of your whiteboard. With a marker, you can draw a to-do list or weekly planner on your board. This will help you to keep track of your appointments and deadlines stylishly.
Also, you can use some colorful magnets and push pins for your board. Don’t forget to leave room for sticking some sticky notes to jot down important thoughts.

8- Personal Mug for Coffee Breaks
Make yourself feel at home by bringing your own coffee mug at work. You know how coffee mugs will stay on your desk all day long. So, ditch your company’s boring mug and bring your own personalized mug.
You can personalize your mug with a photo of your family, pet, or friends. Place it on your desk, use it in coffee or tea breaks, and show your style.
And to maintain the charm of your office desk, switch to a funny mug. You’ll get hundreds of coffee mugs with funny doodles and personalized text like- “sometimes, the best part of my job is that the chair swivels!”
9- Wrap up the Cords
Imagine you spend hours decorating your office desk, and then comes the messy chords. The cord of your laptop, mobile charger, printer- the list is long!
If there are cords all over the places on your office desk, organize them with washi or duct tape.
Simply wrap the cords and chargers in different colored tapes. And make your desk clutter-free.
