Paste 101: Desk Organization

While the thought of a neat and tidy home office may be one of the most daunting aspirations when it comes to maintaining a room of your own, there is something to be said for a desk with everything in its right place. This romantic notion is the perfect locale to house all those important “adulating” papers, i.e. bills, current and past, as well as a place to hold creative aspirations, those knick knacks you can’t quite part with and even a surface to keep your keys at the end of a long day. That being said, a desk can wear many hats in the home.
1. Regroup
With back-to-school season underway say it ain’t so! a little time spent reorganizing never hurt, especially after a long summer of neglect. Vintage accents, DIY touches and the occasional practical addition are just a few ways to get your desk back to functional.
2. Use the Wall
When it comes to getting organized, it is best to think outside the box, or in this case: above the desk. This wall space is prime real estate for shelves, wall hangings or corkboards. A handy dandy notepad makes the occasional to-do list a no-brainer. If inspiration is what you seek, add a mirror or photographs for visual appeal.
