SIX STYLISH PROJECTS TO SHOW YOU HOW TO CREATE A BEAUTIFULLY ORGANISED SPACE
Choose cork
Sustainable and stylish, cork makes a perfect memo board, and over a whole wall it also absorbs sound. Mount clipboards in a row above your desk for more space for notes.
Give it a twist...
To co-ordinate the look, cover the clipboards in offcuts of wallpaper, and paint the cork the same shade as your wall.
Display memos
Turn an old canvas into a decorative noticeboard. Cover in fabric and secure with a staple gun. Attach trimmings or ribbons in horizontal bands as a way of displaying favourite cards and keepsakes.
Give it a twist...
For a classic look, criss-cross ribbon over the fabric. Secure with split pins where it crosses.
Hide your work
Hang floating shelves in an alcove and screen off with a linen curtain once work is done. Add a stool that can be stowed under the desk, or used as extra seating in a living area.
Give it a twist...
Get a carpenter to make doors to cover your work area and paint them in the wall colour to create a seamless look.
Be creative
Add a lipped shelf to panelling painted with bold geometric shapes for visual impact. Brass shelves dotted around allow you to showcase books and brochures in a more artistic way than simply showing their spines.
Give it a twist...
Replace books and brochures with framed artwork.
