A place for you to unwind and relax, or buckle down and get some hard work done - the desk area is a crucial part of any abode. A great place to express your personality, the desk area can also easily become cluttered and disorganized...not a very great environment to work hard in!
In this blog post, we're going to share some tips with you about expressing yourself through your desk area and reducing the clutter, while introducing you to a few different desk style options.
A great idea to think about when decorating around your desk is applying wallpaper behind the area. Go for something simple, not too bold because it will distract you from your work, but inspiring enough to make you feel happy and relaxed in that area.
Try to keep your area free from unnecessary clutter, consider purchasing or creating your own storage system nearby so that all your bits and pieces are safe and out of your way.
For the modern lover in all (*most*) of us, our
Georgia Mirrored Dresser is the perfect picture of elegance! Featuring three roomy drawers to store any necessities (pens, spare paper, staplers...lipstick...), the
Georgia Mirrored Dresser contrasts the glam factor of the beveled mirrored front and top with the sleek and modern black legs and edging.
Pop a mirror

Georgia Mirrored Dresser transforms into a
stunning vanity! Use it as a console, dresser, or of course - desk. The
Georgia truly is a versatile piece!
If you really want to be
unique, add a spark of colour to your
Georgia Mirrored Dresser with a
colourful desk lamp or bright vase filled with fresh flowers.

A great vase option is our

If you're looking for simple and practical, then you can't go past our
Teak Office Desk. Made from 100% recycled teak and fitted with stainless steel legs, our

Teak Office Desk and be ensured that it will not overpower the area.
The ideal piece for someone looking to feel zen and at peace, or on the contrast, the artist who wants to create an area to reflect their own style and passion and not wanting furniture to clash with that expression.

Reflect your personality in your desk area by adding smaller bits and pieces that will not clutter the area, but will either serve a purpose or add charm. Mementos from holidays (seashells, etc), a family photo (or a photo of a loved one, pet or even a relaxing landscape), stationary organisers and lamps can all dress up the desk area without overpowering it.
Another great idea is to add a candle to your desk. When choosing, think of the design of the candle holder - you don't want anything to bright as it will cause distraction while you are working. Try to find simple glass, white or black candle holders. Think of what kind of scents you like and consider when you will be burning your candle.
You may wish to purchase two separate candles: one with a relaxing scent to burn while you're unwinding, and another with a less intense scent burn when you're working - although that is entirely up to each individual.
Our
Candle in Hello Hamptons has an incredible scent that is universally appealing and versatile enough to work for times when you are relaxing or working. The classic scent of freesia blooms is calming and will add an aura of tranquility to your room, while the sweet pineapple, cranberries and peaches contrast and evoke, allowing you to focus and concentrate when necessary.
Made in Australia, our
Candle in Hello Hamptons is created from a soy blend, and is beautifully packaged in a stylish glass jar that you can then reuse to store your paperclips or bits and pieces on your desk!

If using as a console, a beautiful large centered floral arrangement looks incredible on the
Antique Mirror Dresser, if using as a desk - try for a slightly smaller arrangement and place it on either of the far corners to draw attention without taking up too much space.
We love the arrangement of the above desk! The perfect contrast between monochromatic and colour pieces! Little touches such as the clock screensaver, pink floral arrangement (that enhances the pink in the artwork) and the use of a mug with a personal attachment (the letter 'J' for the persons name) as a stationary holder really give the desk area personality and style.
Create an industrial vibe with our or our
Bird Leg Console (above) or our
Desk Stamp Leg - Hardwood (below)!
Both desk options are ideal for a more open area, although the
Bird Leg Console particularly can be easily adapted to a smaller space. Add more industrial inspired pieces to achieve the perfect mood, or contrast with different items to show your personality.

The important thing to consider when choosing a desk and creating your desk area is how you want to reflect your personality and whether you want to choose practicality over style or vice versa.
Try to think of creative and unique ways to express yourself through decorator pieces on your desk, but keep in mind not to over clutter the area or else you'll find it difficult to get any work done!
We recommend having a browse through Pinterest or Tumblr to get an idea of different styles and ways to express yourself.
