Stop Working Around The Clutter
Spent the last six months moving piles of stuff from one side of your desk to the other? Time to get organised. Proper desk organisers aren't just about looking tidy - they're about actually being able to work without hunting for things.
💡 Pro tip: The best desk organisation is stuff you can reach without thinking. If you have to open three drawers to find a pen, it's not organised - it's just hidden mess.
More Than Just Assembly
Anyone can build a drawer unit. Making it actually work for your space is different:
| ✅ Properly Set Up | ❌ Just Assembled |
|---|---|
| Monitor at correct eye height | Screen too low (neck pain) |
| Cables routed and hidden | Wires tangled behind desk |
| Drawers on your dominant side | Have to reach across yourself |
| Everything within arm's reach | Still cluttered, just vertically |

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to organise your own desk? Here's the smart approach:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Screwdriver set (for flatpack)
- Drill (for wall mounting)
- Cable ties and clips
- Spirit level
📐 Planning your layout
- Clear everything off your desk completely
- Put back ONLY what you use daily
- Everything else goes in drawers or off the desk
- Position your monitor at arm's length, top at eye level
- Keep your dominant side clear for mouse movement
💡 Cable management basics
- Under-desk cable tray for power strips and excess cable
- Adhesive cable clips to route wires down desk legs
- Cable sleeves to bundle multiple wires together
- Label everything (future you will thank present you)
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Buying organisers before knowing what you need
- Filling drawer units with stuff you never use
- Mounting shelves too high to reach comfortably
- Not leaving any desk surface clear
💡 Pro trick: Take a photo of your desk from your sitting position. If you can't see the desktop surface, you've got too much stuff on there. Brutal but effective.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
What desk organisers do you actually set up?
Anything from simple pen pots to full drawer units, monitor stands, keyboard trays, document holders, cable management boxes - whatever you've bought to get your desk sorted. Most of it's flatpack that needs building, or positioning properly for how you work.
Can you advise on what I actually need?
I can suggest what works, but I'm not an ergonomics expert. Generally: something to lift your monitor to eye level, a cable management solution so wires aren't everywhere, and drawer units for stuff you use regularly. Keep your desk surface as clear as possible.
Will you mount things to the desk or wall?
Yes - monitor arms clamp to desks, shelves go on walls, under-desk cable trays screw underneath. I'll do whatever mounting is needed to get your organisers working properly.
Do I need to provide the organisers or can you get them?
Either way. If you've already bought them, I'll assemble and fit what you've got. If you want advice on what to buy, I can point you towards decent options from IKEA or Amazon, but you'll need to order them.
How long does organiser setup take?
Simple stuff like pen holders and cable boxes - 20 minutes. Full drawer units, monitor arms, and cable management - closer to an hour. Most desk setups are somewhere in between.
