Building Your Ultimate Minimal Desk Setup with a Black Office Desk

So, you’ve decided to include a black work desk in your workstation, but now you want to leave behind all the clutter and disastrous lifestyle that you were following prior to this purchase. If you don’t know how to make your desk setup more minimalistic, we’re here to help.

Before we start, let's make one point clear: a minimal desk setup is not an excuse not to decorate your desk. Therefore, first, you may want to have a look at some decorate desk ideas so you can bring a bit of personality to your workstation.

On the other hand, minimal desks consist of clean, cozy spaces where you can see all the resources available in an aesthetically-pleasing atmosphere. Seeing the black office desk at your home office will make you want to sit on it all day (although that’s not really recommended for your back).

Either way, having a minimal desk setup can help you stay focused and be more organized as you continue working on your responsibilities.

Here we have a few tips you can use to build a minimal desk setup with a modern black office desk.

1. Clear the clutter

As we’ve mentioned, it is quite common for us to have a bit of a mess in our workstation. So, the first thing to do is to clear all the clutter and leave only the resources you use on a daily basis.

You probably have tools that you use occasionally. In that case, don't leave them on the black work desk – use a drawer, place them underneath the desk or to its side. You can use tons of resources to organize all the clutter in your desk, such as desk organizers and pegboards. Overall, a minimal desk setup should only include items you frequently use, such as your mouse and keyboard, phone, and laptop stand.

Sometimes, people like to include desk pads to segment their desks and make them look more organized. Since you're using a black home office desk, combining it with a black (again) or a white desk pad is the safest choice. If you share your office with someone else and have a two-person desk, try to make both areas be in harmony with each other.

2. Improve the lighting in the room

It’s important to work in a well-illuminated workstation. Otherwise, you'll suffer from eye fatigue more often, and it will also be more challenging for you to stay focused as you continue working on your responsibilities.

Since you’re arranging your workstation, it can be a great time to remodel the room. Here are a few tips you can use:

• If the room has a window, try to leave it open during the day so natural light comes in as much as possible. It is linked to several health benefits, such as vitamin D boosts and more focus and productivity. You can also try to put your black wood office desk in front of it.
• You can improve the room’s lighting if you paint the walls white. This is especially helpful if the room where you work every day doesn’t have any natural light source.
• You can also utilize ambient lighting or RGB-controlled lights to enhance the atmosphere of the room.
• If you’re sharing your home office with someone else, try to opt for office cubicle décor. This way, both areas will remain "private," and you will also find it easier to work out the illumination.

3. Don’t forget about ergonomics!

If the room you’re using for your boho desk is not appropriately ergonomic, you will find it hard to stay focused throughout the day, and your comfort will be compromised. Therefore, you will be prone to suffering from body aches and headaches more often.

Keeping your items at the optimal distance and adjusting your chair based on your body proportions are important. Here we have a few tips you can use to enhance the room's ergonomics:

• First, adjust the monitor height, so it is at your eye level. A monitor arm or a laptop stand can help you with this issue.
• Your ergonomic chair should be adjusted based on your body proportions. Try to choose a chair that emphasizes the lower back area, as it is the more vulnerable part of your body while you're sitting. The more adjustable features the chair includes, the better!
• If your keyboard and mouse are misplaced, or you have chosen the wrong devices, you will feel wrist and arm pain. Sometimes, this pain will extend to your shoulders, apart from the discomfort that will haunt you throughout your workday. So, try to purchase ergonomic keyboards and mice that help you stay comfortable throughout the day, especially if you tend to stay seated at the desk for prolonged periods. Also, wireless options allow you to keep your desk free of clutter!

4. Cable management

If you’re using wired devices, you’ll have to implement cable management tools to keep your black work desk organized. Although using as many wireless devices as possible can solve the issue, sometimes it’s just impossible to escape from them. In that case, using cable ties or Velcro strips can help you route cables through the same area so you can bring a “cleaner” appearance to your workstation.

5. Cleaning your new workstation

So, you’ve finally achieved the workstation of your dreams. Now, how do you keep it clean? Here we have a few tips you can use to provide maintenance to your new minimal black work desk setup:

• Try to make a habit out of organizing all the items you’ve used throughout the day once you’ve finished working. Otherwise, you’ll see how everything starts piling up until you’re back to the disorganized workspace you had before.
• Keep your desk and other large surfaces clean. You can use a damp cloth once in a while to make sure that it isn’t accumulating dust or debris.
• In addition, keep all the items you frequently touch clean, especially your keyboard and mouse. You can use a wet wipe or a small brush to reach certain areas.
