One way is to infuse your space with your personality, which means taking time to carefully select – or even better, create and personalize your home office decor. Creating a space that is suited to your unique tastes will likely encourage you to spend more time in your office, so why not start with the most integral part of any home office setup: the desk. Check out these desk DIYs to upgrade your home office into a place that you actually want to spend time in.
