How I Set Up My Dream Desk in My Tiny Bedroom

The most effective work spaces are customized to fit the needs and tastes of the people working in them. I wanted this space to feel welcoming by picking colors I associate with joy and warmth, so that I'd feel excited to work there. Yellows, pinks and greens are my default color scheme for productive spaces, and I've found it encourages my creativity and helps me feel calm and comfortable.

Sticking to a color scheme also makes for a cohesive office space, which can encourage productivity. I feel happiest when surrounded by local art or pieces from small businesses, so I purchased an embroidered piece titled Lavender Blind Contour No. 1 ($55), and a set of upsimples Picture Frames ($33) to place artwork in.
