Design Desks with Function

From school aged children to adults, desks can play important roles in everyday activities. Design your desk to function for the work you do, and the work will become easier.

  • Begin by completely emptying all drawers and surfaces.

  • Wash down the desk with an appropriate cleaner.

  • Sort items by function and get rid of anything that is broken or no longer needed.

  • Use drawer dividers before putting items back into the desk.

  • Only store items in the desk that are actually used at the desk.

  • Hang shelves above or near the desk for storing extra items.

  • Use a bulletin board to post notes instead of piling them on the desk.

  • Reduce cord clutter by using Velcro straps to hold wrapped cords, or plastic sleeves to conceal multiple cords.
