Working from home used to be a dream combination of minimalist interior design and Pinterest aesthetics. Now that we’re “living the dream”, it’s a reality of messy desks and un-Instagrammable work environments. If your at-home workstation looks more like a gamer’s desk or a garbage dump, here are 10 Taobao decor pieces to zhng up your little space and transform it into an aesthetic home office set-up.
Keep your work essentials in one place with this desk organiser (39.60 RMB, ~S$7.93), which also acts as a tissue box. The compartment will give your workspace a MUJI-like aesthetic with its wooden top and white body.
Colour-coordinate your pen holders and book baskets with these rose gold grid storage baskets (18 RMB to 25.50 RMB, ~S$3.61 to ~S$5.11) to elevate your workstation aesthetic and keep it consistent.
Make space on your desk and make your home office Pinterest-worthy at the same time by hanging up a mesh memo board (10.26 RMB to 61.26 RMB, ~S$2.06 to ~S$12.28).
Attach your pictures, to-do lists and more using a matching gold bulldog clip. You can also add S-hooks and shelves to display your stationery and other decorative items.
If your table looks like a gamer’s desk with wires strewn around everywhere, a great solution is to get a cable organiser (11.90 RMB, ~S$2.39). Bonus points for the pastel colours.
While you’re at it, get a wireless charging station (138 RMB to 158 RMB, ~S$27.65 to ~S$31.66) for all your tech gadgets. It works as both a charger and a desk organiser by preventing your table from getting too crowded with electronics.
