Intelligent storage in a two-seater desk

How to keep a double desk tidy and efficient A double desk is a double mess that builds up on the tabletop at a surprisingly fast rate. It spoils the aesthetics of the whole room and, if it's an office, also the image of the company. So check out how to keep your double desk and its surroundings tidy.

A two-person desk must not be overcrowded

The first basic rule in organising an office space, including a desk, is to keep items to a total minimum. It is enough to assess their usefulness in a given space. Maybe some of them are not needed at all. It is possible that you only reach for some occasionally. Among the most useful items are the following: good lighting (lamp), calendar, computer, telephone, writing utensils, notebook, post-it notes, stapler, paper clips, stamps. Each of these items should have its own dedicated place. Then it will be easier to keep your desk and its surroundings in order. When they are all on the tabletop, they create unnecessary clutter for everyone.

How to intelligently manage a two-person desk and the space around it? Here are some practical tips to suggest how to store items intelligently in a two-person desk.

- Desk and lamp - the perfect duo. An essential accessory for a desk, even a two-person desk, is good lighting. A desk lamp should be placed on each side so that it illuminates the entire surface of both desks.

- Wall calendar as an alternative to a desk calendar. The calendar is a tool to help organise work. This is why it is regarded as a basic piece of desk equipment. However, it is not always necessary to take notes. Choose a wall calendar instead of a desk calendar. It will serve you and your neighbour.

Computer and phone as integral parts of the desk.

The computer, together with the necessary accessories, is essential office equipment. It should therefore not be missing. There must therefore be room on the desk for a monitor or laptop and the necessary accessories such as a mouse or keyboard. Sitting at your desk, you must also have access to a telephone.

- An organiser for writing utensils is a practical addition. Scattered pens, pencils, highlighters and other writing instruments do not look good. Therefore, they should have their permanent place on the desk, but in a special organiser. The choice of containers that are up to the task is vast. Opt for a model that will coordinate with your desk arrangement. For a better visual effect, make sure that both your desk and your colleague's desk have the same style of utensils.

- Pedestal for other office accessories and tools. Other items such as notebooks, post-it notes, staplers, paper clips, stamps, calculator or scissors can be stored in a drawer. And what if the desk has no drawers or cupboards? An example is the Lano-E 300 Q Bench electric desk available in our range. This is one of the most popular models. In this situation, simply add a pedestal. A sturdy pedestal with capacious drawers can accommodate not only the above-mentioned office supplies, but also important documents and personal belongings, so that they do not catch the eye of office visitors. In the case of a two-person desk, the purchase of two pedestals is recommended. This furniture can be placed under the desk or next to it.

Contrary to what you might think, heavy and heavily built-up desks with cabinets are not exactly practical. They take up a lot of space and are difficult to move from place to place. Nowadays, models based on a solid frame and a wooden top are in fashion. Desks with an electrically adjustable top are popular, allowing the height of the desk to be adjusted to individual needs. In an office space, a desk must create a comfortable and efficient workstation. Therefore, consider purchasing a pedestal and other organisers that will allow you to organise and hide many items quickly and conveniently. They will be within easy reach, but will not spoil the aesthetics of the desk and the entire space around it. Remember that an organised desk aids concentration and productivity.
