When I moved into my apartment, the one thing that I wanted to be perfect was my desk area, being that I would probably spend the majority of my time there. Scrolling through Pinterest just inspired me to have a nice space where I could do my homework and use to write.
This article is here to give you tips and suggestions on as to what you want out of a desk area. You should have way more there besides a comfortable chair and a desk lamp.
A good desk area always has some sort of board. This could be a marker board, a bulletin board, or even a calendar. It serve as something to keep you a bit focused. For instance, if you have a calendar hanging on the wall near your desk, it can help you see what you have to do. I have a marker board where I write down any small assignments (being that I usually forget about those).

Shelves and bins are a good way to organize any documents or books. Some people even decide to get baskets and hang them on the wall. Having everything out on your desk can make it look disorganized. You’ll definitely see a difference when books and papers aren’t cluttered around your desk and are instead in their own bins and shelves. Also, make sure that your pens, pencils, highlighters, and other school supplies are in their own bins. You’re going to want to keep those organized so that you can have easy access to them.

I believe that desks should be placed near a window. It doesn’t necessarily have to face the window but it should be next to one. It gives people a sense that they’re not constricted as opposed to being trapped by walls.
There are many other options to lights as opposed to just a regular desk lamp. You could have string lights on the sides of your desk. These serve as not only a source of light but also a cute decoration. Some people change it up sometimes by having candles.

In terms of decorating, a desk area should reflect your personality and what you like. There are so many things that you could put in your desk area such as portraits, clocks, photos, and more. I personally like to surround my desk with plants, such as succulents. But this is totally up to you! The possibilities are endless!
I hope these tips and suggestions have allowed you to rethink your desk area. Remember that a desk area should be more than a comfortable chair and a desk lamp.
