“Corporate isn't equivalent to a boring work space!”

From a fun advertising environment into a corporate life, yet there's nothing quite like having a beautifully decorated desk to get yourself motivated, right? Instead of having an open space, I'm down to a work cubicle. But that doesn't mean that it has to look all dull and boring!

Your work space is your space and it certainly reflects your personality. And I'm that kind of person who don't like staring at the not-so-pretty-looking things. Which is why I've decided to turn my cubicle space into an Instagram-friendly, Pinterest-worthy place with a little help of some things that I would work on.

PICKING A THEME

Working around a theme is essential as it helps in getting the right items. I wanted my desk to look clean yet Instagram-friendly, which is why I've decided to go with the monochrome colours of Black, White and Birch (the colour of my desk top).

SETTING ASIDE TIME TO CLEAN UP

We all know that the desk gets messy; with piles of papers to deal with, having lunch at the desk or even quick snacks. We've all been there and done that. But instead of waiting for then of the week to ensure the desk is clean, take a quick 5 minutes at the end of the day to file away unwanted papers, throw out the trash and put everything else where they belong.

COVERING UP CORDS

Ugly cords, messy cords. Really, there's nothing more unattractive on a desk than a whole lot of cords and wires hanging around. And when it's impossible to drilling holes, hide them in between calendars or even better, get a cord organiser.

DOUBLING UP AS BULLETIN BOARDS

Doubling up simply means saving space but having the desk nicely decorated at the same time. In my case, I used an A4 photo frame to double it up as a sticky note bulletin board for important tasks reminders.

There you have it! My current work desk. How would you spice up your work desk?
