This can be done using double-sided tape or sticky tack (an adhesive for sticking decorations), and smaller photo frames can be attached to a square – shaped stationery box.

Again, before you declare this impossible, try attaching a photo frame to the side of something you already use for holding and organizing papers, books or folders. These come in different shapes, sizes and clusters – including magnetic ones, photo holder trees, bigger and smaller photo collage frames (you can even buy a wrap-around-the-corner frame, but that one is better to use at home.) Digital photo frames are available, but you may not want to invest in those, or perhaps are concerned about their potential of becoming a distraction.Īnyway, if you have already tried to place some photo frame on your tiny desk, this resulting in knocking it over all the time, you are smiling skeptically. You can add natural and artificially created stones, shells, beads, fragments of broken jewelry that are not good for any other use, and even tiny empty bottles of your favorite perfume mini-versions. The variety of lovely designs small pots come in is likely to make you want a cute one, but the decorative potential of what you can put in between the plants is even more interesting. A traditional ceramic or plastic flower pot isn’t even necessary, you can just take something like a small glass jar, or even an empty face cream container, put a handful of soil into it, and that’s enough for a few succulents to grow on. Since succulents are miniature plants, a small container can hold an entire mini-garden of different ones. Succulents are better for desk decoration because they don’t need to be watered often, just like cacti, but they also don’t hurt your hands. If you like cacti, they may be fine neighboring with office supplies and papers, but beware of unpleasant experiences when accidentally touching them while you are trying to grab something quickly or frantically searching for a certain item on your desk. So a poinsettia, a potted rose or begonia plant isn’t likely to be a good option, no matter how much you may love those. You can’t place something big on your desk, unless you’ve got a really huge one. Depending on your work/business trips schedule, you may not be able to take care of a plant that requires frequent watering or spraying. The stores may offer tons of decorative accessories, but still, nothing enlivens your working space like an element of something floral or green such as flowers, bamboo spirals or stalks in a vase, or potted plants. If you’d like something prettier than a wall planner next to your desk, especially at home, here is another option: 3. It’s also a perfect solution if there already are some holes or other unsightly marks that you hate. However, if you don’t want to make any holes in the wall, an adhesive version of a wall planner will work best. You can actually mount a magnetic chalkboard onto the wall for both writing on and attaching something to.

They may fall off, failing to remind you of something, but it’s also the messy look of such sticky buddies that made people create more streamlined versions of task reminders which use vertical space instead of adding to the clutter.Ĭhalkboard paint and a variety of write-and-wipe items are easily available for turning walls into organizers and keeping important information in front of your eyes.

Post-it notes are useful, but when your fridge door or your desk starts looking like a weird Christmas tree with a lot of those, you find it either annoying or ineffective, or perhaps both. That’s why many people literally stick to writing things down on pieces of paper and sticking them somewhere they’ll be noticed more than once. Assuming that being reminded of something just once is enough often doesn’t work. Whoever came up with the idea of creating this must have struggled himself with forgetting things despite writing them down or relying on smartphone reminders and notifications. You just stick it to the wall and write on it with chalk.
