1. Keep It Simple
A wooden desks charm lies in its natural beauty. To emphasise this, keep your desk styling simple but most importantly, personal to you!

Clear your desk of unnecessary clutter and don't forget to add a desk lamp. This one from Dunelm made me smile!

Look for organisers made from sustainable materials like bamboo, reclaimed wood, recycled plastics or even vintage jars and tins. These options are not only environmentally friendly but also super stylish too.
4. Choose a Complementary Chair
Pairing your wooden desk with a complementary chair can elevate the overall look and feel of your home office. Consider the style and material of the chair to ensure it harmonizes with the desk. If your wooden desk has a minimalist design you could opt for something sleek and modern. Alternatively, if your desk has a more rustic or traditional look you could pick a chair with similar characteristics.
Don't be afraid to mix it up though, go for what makes you happy not necessarily what is on tend! More than anything else though make sure the chair is comfortable, no one wants a stiff neck and sore back 😩
