You spend around 24% of your time at work and if you\u2019re office based you\u2019ll end up sat at your desk<\/a> for the majority of this. Adding a few personal touches to your work space can really lift your mood and add positivity into your day. Plus, despite concerns that managers won\u2019t approve of a little office desk decoration, it tends to demonstrate a feeling of longevity and shows that you\u2019re not about to pack up and quit your job at any moment.<\/p>\n

\u00a01. \u00a0Family\u00a0<\/b>Photos<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A photo of your loved ones in a frame or simply stuck up with Blu-Tack is a nice little reminder of what you get to go home to after a long day at your desk. Just ensure it\u2019s a picture you don\u2019t mind everyone else seeing.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Your Favourite<\/b>\u00a0Mug<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Your office probably provides mugs, but there\u2019s nothing like drinking a cup of tea or coffee out of your very own mug. Plus you know it\u2019s clean and it\u2019ll be waiting for you each morning.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 <\/b>Nice Stationery<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Again this is something that will be supplied, but different coloured pens and highlighters brighten up your desk and your work. Plus, writing in a nice notebook is always more enjoyable. In the Paperstone office we\u2019re particularly fond of Black n Red and\u00a0Pukka Pad notebooks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a04. \u00a0Holiday\u00a0<\/b>Postcards<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d rather not use a picture of friends or family, a postcard from a recent holiday or one with an inspirational quote on will help inspire you during a difficult day.<\/p>\n

5. A Pen Pot or Desk Tidy<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How many times have you been on the phone and ended up desperately searching for a pen? Use a little ribbon to decorate a boring pen pot, or buy one that says a little something about you.<\/p>\n

6. Personal Storage<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You may not have much room on your desk itself, but a storage box underneath is a great way to keep the essentials close by. No desk box is complete without a spare pair of shoes, an extra notepad and some snacks.<\/p>\n

7. Seasonal Decorations<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"paperstone-spooky-desk\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Use holiday themed decorations on Valentine\u2019s Day, Halloween and Christmas to give your desk a little makeover, just remember to take them down after the event.\u00a0If you’re looking for more inspiration then take a look at these impressive desk decorations on Pinterest<\/a>.<\/p>\n
