You can always start off with something small when it comes to making innovative desk organizers and as you get a hang of things, you will realize that there are a plethora of other options to explore. The best ideas can also be improvised upon to give them a more personalized look. From simple holders to pegboard additions that free up desk space, this is an organizational treasure trove that you would not want to miss –

Holding them all!

One of the most useful accessories when it comes to an organized desk are smart holders that hide everything from pens and pencils to your charging cables, accessories and a whole lot more. The options here are well and truly endless and the ones that work for you depend on both your desk storage needs and crafting skills. A simple conversion of Mason jars into holders, or even those forgotten kitchens jars with lost lids is an idea that takes very little time.On the other hand a chic, acrylic stand and holder takes both greater effort and time.

Moving Things Away from the Desk

Keep the desk organized often means freeing up as much surface space as possible and this can be done in more ways than one. Use the wall next to the desk or one behind it to clear the clutter. The idea we love here the most is the expansive pegboard wall with multiple storage options that looks super-cool and serves you in many different ways. The vintage desk organizer is a more understated way of doing things while the triangular DIY desk organizer adds geo charm to the setting.

DIY concrete spheres act as perfect bookends and give your books a more stylish zone to occupy while the painted wooden storage boxes add geo flair with ease. The best ideas are ones that combine form and functionality in a seamless manner!

  • Lago Vista

    This project was a true evolution of design. The owners originally approached DC+A about 10 years ago to design an informal home on their narrow cliff-side lot in the resort community of Lago Vista outside of Austin, TX. The couple worked with our firm remotely, trusting us to design their dream home. The original designs were for the narrow lot, but when a piece of land became available next door, the owners bought it and decided to re-envision their dream home to stretch across both pieces of property and leave more “breathing room” for the neighboring properties. The ultimate design is a 4,000 square foot limestone-clad home that frames views of the Colorado River from every room. The home uses some classic hill country and contemporary features that lend themselves well to the Central Texas lakeside setting, incorporated in a beautifully laid-back way. Featuring clerestory windows, floor to ceiling retractable glass doors and multi-purpose rooms, the home has an incredible quality and depth of natural light. The furnishings complement the architecture while remaining both casual and durable. Concrete floors add to the easy-going personality of the home, while redwood finishes outside and white oak inside reflect the riverside setting. The landscaping echoes the home’s relaxed nature with indigenous plants, while the Texas-sourced Antique Lueders Limestone finishing the exterior walls roots the home firmly in its setting.
