Perhaps you have a home office like us? Even if you just have a desk to pay bills, then you have a clutter issue. There is just so much stuff that goes into taking care of business, right? But you spend enough time at your desk that it should it be organized. And it should showcase your style as well. We found some amazing DIY desk organizing ideas and projects that will get your space simplified, and bring some pretty into the mix as well. And if you have to be at a desk, don’t you deserve to look at something pretty?
This DIY desk organizing idea from ‘Sugar and Cloth‘ is an easy project that not only gives you some places to store things, but also a cork board to pin up things that you want/need to look at! Get some pretty novelty push pins and tuck a few travel photos or other inspirational things up there in between the tax receipts and the to-do list.
This DIY desk organizer from ‘ Poppytalk‘ is made from birch plywood and can be customized to have as few, or as many little storage spots as you need! Simple to follow tutorial.
Learn how to make a modern desk organizer tray from a piece of wood from ‘Ehow‘. This is a great tutorial for an easy project that looks upscale and not at all cutesy. Love the spot for your phone!
We are in love with this color block box supply storage from ‘ I Spy DIY’. Easy home office organization project with just enough color to brighten up your desk and your day, but corrals the “stuff”. Inexpensive too!

This DIY desktop organizer from ‘Home Depot‘ by ‘Plaid’ is a fun an colorful project using pvc pipe and paint. This would look really elegant glam if you painted it copper and silver! Because who doesn’t like metallics?
These Kate Spade (love!) inspired DIY acrylic desk accessories from ‘Just Destiny‘ are girly and fun. She made them using letter containers from The Container Store, and some pink card stock. So pretty, and I love the label letters on the stackable file organizers!
Lastly, this wood photo frame DIY desk organizer from ‘Crafts Unleashed‘ is made from exactly that… small wood photo frames! Add some ball feet and some stain, and then this would make a more masculine touch to any desk!
