In reality, my desk is a very fluid space. It goes from my creative space, complete with sewing machine, a million pins and strewn with fabric off-cuts, to my blog photo studio, to the place I pile up rubbish I need to get off the floor, all in the space of a few hours at times.
Every now and then, however, I can bring order to my little desk, and last weekend was one of those occasions. With the help of my recent Disney Store purchases, I was inspired to create a magical little work space, perfect for any dreamer and doer.
Want to create your own? Here’s what you’ll need!
The desk lamp
Proper lighting is super important when it comes to an area that you’ll be working in – eye strain is not cool. My desk is a subtle nod to the classic Pixar lamp, but there are a tonne of cool Disney themed lights out there to match the look you want.
Adorable stationery
Can anyone honestly say that they don’t have a weakness for cute stationery? Notepads, pens, sticky notes, you name it, I’m all about it. Right now, Disney Store are absolutely killing it with some of their stationery, but there are so many places you can buy Disney inspired products on the high street and online.
My Mickey Mouse highlighters were from John Lewis a few months back, but there are similar ones now available on the Disney Store website!
All the mugs
I’m all about any excuse to buy a new Disney mug, but they’re so multi-functional! Sure, you’re gonna need a lot of mugs for drinking from while you’re busy at work, but they also make for excellent pen pots, or storage for push pins, paperclips.
Practical decorations
I’m obsessed with my new Mickey and Minnie washi tape dispenser and Mickey glove business card holder from the Disney Store, they make for great desk centrepieces but are also actually useful. You can also find practical uses for some of your favourite Disney items; how about using a Funko Pop as a paperweight?
Magical artwork
Now your desk is kitted out, bring a little magic to your walls! My desk is surrounded by Polaroid style prints of my favourite Disney trip photos from Sticky9 (who also do cute little magnets!), but there are also so many amazing Disney artists out there – try Etsy and Redbubble!
How do you bring magic to your workspace?
I’m going to try some of these out it is such a great idea!
I both love and hate this post (okay not hate lol; but seriously I want to buy so much stuff now). I have a desk that I plan to decorate this weekend, so this was perfect timing! Thanks for all the ideas!

I wish I had a desk so I could create my own desk space. But with the boys being so young I don’t have anywhere suitable for a desk without them getting to it!
Lovely pics and the tape despencer is the best!
