The options here are well and truly endless and the ones that work for you depend on both your desk storage needs and crafting skills. A simple conversion of Mason jars into holders, or even those forgotten kitchens jars with lost lids is an idea that takes very little time.On the other hand a chic, acrylic stand and holder takes both greater effort and time.

Moving Things Away from the Desk

Keep the desk organized often means freeing up as much surface space as possible and this can be done in more ways than one. Use the wall next to the desk or one behind it to clear the clutter. The idea we love here the most is the expansive pegboard wall with multiple storage options that looks super-cool and serves you in many different ways. The vintage desk organizer is a more understated way of doing things while the triangular DIY desk organizer adds geo charm to the setting.

DIY concrete spheres act as perfect bookends and give your books a more stylish zone to occupy while the painted wooden storage boxes add geo flair with ease. The best ideas are ones that combine form and functionality in a seamless manner!
