Back to School Series: Desk Organization

Today at B&G Designs we are going to be discussing how to organize your desk and keep it organized throughout the entire school year. Organization is the key to being successful so check out these tips and tricks for some organization inspiration.

The first thing you should do to organize your desk is get some desk accessories...It also doesn't hurt if your desk accessories are colorful and cute. We recommend you getting something to hold your writing utensils along with a paper organizer, a stapler and a hole puncher to keep your papers organized.

As you can see, we added a pop of pink, mint, and gold to make our desk more colorful and cheery. The pencils have cute sayings on them that will inspire you as you write or do any of your homework. The pink and white desk organizer will keep all of your important documents organized. The pink bejeweled stapler will make you want to use it simply because it's cute and fun. The gold pencil holder is classy yet fun. We also recommend that you invest in a small notebook for daily planning and to-do lists. 

Because desks don't always have drawers, we also recommend that you have a free standing chest of drawers to keep any extra paper or school supplies that you want to keep tucked away instead of displayed on your desk.

These three free standing drawers can be found at places like Target, Overstock.com, and most other places that have office furniture. You can either place these drawers underneath your desk or next to your desk depending on your personal taste.

If you are fortunate enough to have a desk that has drawers, then lucky you! If that's the case, you should get a drawer organizer so that each item in your drawers has a specific place. 

Drawer organizers like these can be found nearly anywhere including Target, Walmart and the Container Store. 

The final thing that we recommend you have on your desk is a dry erase board calendar. This will keep you updated on your events for each week without having to crack open your planner.

We love this DIY paint swatch dry erase board monthly calendar. It adds a fun new take on the classic dry erase board. You can customize the paint swatches to match your room color scheme or just use your favorite colors. 

That's all for our desk organization inspiration feature. We hope that you got some new ideas on how to keep your desk organized.

Love always,
