Brighten up your day at the office and give your desk the attention it deserves! It can improve your mood, motivation and productivity. A little TLC goes a long way...

1. Brighten up
your Desk
Your desk should be a
reflection of your
personality! Get some
inspiration today.

2. We spend most of our
day at our desk!
 A large majority of your day is spent sitting at
a desk and let’s be honest, it can get pretty
dull. Of course a clutter free environment is
important so that you can focus better, but it
doesn’t hurt to customise your space. Here
are some great ideas to brighten up your
working space…

3. Colourful Files
@Nina Campbell
 Go out and buy some new, bright and
colourful box files that really reflect your
personality. This is a fab way to jazz up
your desk and add colour to your work
environment. You could even make your
own: Simply take your old files and paper
over them. Perhaps you could stick
photos of your friends and family over
them for an extra personal touch?

4. Keyboard Stickers
@Keep.com
 Calling all slow typists! These fun quirky
keyboard stickers will encourage you to speed
up! Available from stationary and computer
shops, these stickers work by covering the
individual keys to create a quirky design that is
sure to catch peoples eye. These designs are
also great for people with dyslexia.

5. Mouse Mat
 Often overlooked, the humble mouse mat
can give your work environment the breathe
of fresh air it has been asking for. Many
businesses offer to personalise your mouse
mats with images: you could opt for a family
photo or maybe even your favourite
painting?

6. Stapler
@Tommy Fox
 I know I know its just a stapler! But there’s
some very cool staplers available and they
really do add character to your desk. Check
out this variety of angry looking animals.
Invest in this lion and your stapling device will
double up as an ornament!

7. Desktop Games
@Aliex Press
 A game of desktop basketball would spice
up your break time: Keep a variety of
games in your desk drawer for those
moments when you need a little fun in your
life to break up the day. Why not start
Friday tournaments with your colleagues?

8. Plants
@Office Playground
 Forget potted plants, what you really need is
your very own desktop Zen garden. Staring at
this haven of peace all day, every day will aid
your spirituality and bring you inner peace.
Not only that, it makes a great motivational
tool for your next holiday. So get your head
down and work towards that cheeky bonus!

9. Framed Photographs
@ZifZif
 Fun photos of your family, friends or beloved
pet really do personalise your desk. Think
outside the box though, nobody wants to see
a snotty nosed toddler cramming ice cream
into his mouth every time they walk past your
desk. Arrange around your zen garden for a
cool and quirky look.

10. Inspirational Quotes
 For some daily inspiration why not stick a few
quotes around your desk that really motivate
you? Whenever the workload gets too much
or you feel a little overwhelmed they will act
as a reminder of how awesome you are and
the potential within. Amen.
