Towards the end of last year I did a blog post where told you that I was planning for my new office area and shared with you some images I'd found on Pinterest that were serving as my inspiration. Well, last week I went to Ikea and got my new desk. Happy dance :)
It wasn't the easiest of tasks but I managed to build it all by myself and love the end result. Despite being a bigger desk than my last one I now have more space.

| My new desk |
Since the above photo was taken I've added a white board to the right of the TV and added some boxes to better store the paper supplies below the desk. I've also strapped on a battery powered back massage cushion to the chair (best €3 I think I've ever spent!).
I love that the back panels are magnetic. They'll come in handy for putting notes and inspirations up where they can be easily, and often seen.
There's plenty of space to put my laptops on the desk too without having to move anything. Being able to set up multiple computers all on the one desk will come in useful for when I'm doing events like Promo Day.
I'm in the process of planning my new writing area and having fun playing around with ideas. One thing I want is more space without actually using up more space. Sound like I'm asking for the impossible? No, I haven't gone crazy. I can have more space without using more than the area I have already. I just need to organise the space more efficiently.
I love this desk from IKEA. It gives plenty of desk space and also has plenty of space for adding an under desk cabinet. I love the inbuilt shelves too.
As I don't have a lot of space available (my 'office' is a small corner in my bedroom), I did a search on Pinterest for small offices and found some great ideas for making the most of my small space. Here's a few that caught my eye:
The end result will probably be a mixture of all of these. I love the idea of using shelving to make use of the space above the desk. Using a pin board to keep my notes together will be much better than having loose pieces of paper laying around too and stop them getting misplaced. My plan is to be clutter free and organised.
