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.
