Corral clutter with serving trays. If your desk is multifunctional or in a room (such as a guest room or den) that serves other purposes besides work, a serving tray gives you a place to stash items and easily move them out of the way. For example, keep your office supplies in jars on a tray, and you can move them over to a nearby shelf on the weekend. Or keep a beverage carafe and glasses on a tray and bring them in to fill the desk when it’s time to declare the workweek over.

Dress up your desk with decor. One of the best parts about working from home is not being in a stuffy office. So why re-create a stuffy office at home? Include decorative elements in your office space, such as a chunky vase full of flowers, so you can enjoy the comforts of home all through the working hours.

Consider all angles. When working in a formal office scenario, the desk often gets crammed up against a cubicle wall. But one of the freedoms of working from home is often being able to sit at an angle with no cubicle to confine you. Angling your desk into the room diagonally can make even a tight office space (such as a small den with few windows) feel larger, giving the maximum amount of space between you and the opposite walls. Try moving your desk around until you feel the most comfortable — sometimes the right angle isn’t a “right” angle.
