    A good task lamp, a single tray for loose papers and a reliable pen pot form the core of any useful desk setup. Upgrading these three makes a visible difference to day-to-day work. Cable management and a coaster are worth adding once the essentials are in place.

    Give every object a home by using trays, pots and drawer dividers, so clearing the surface at the end of the day takes under a minute. Keep only the objects you use weekly on the desk itself, and move the rest to shelving. A tidy desk reduces decision fatigue.

    Matching desk accessories to one or two neutral tones, such as black and oak or brass and walnut, keeps the desk visually calm. If your room has a colour scheme, pull one accent shade from elsewhere and repeat it in a single accessory, such as a lamp shade or notebook.

    Desk accessories do not need to match exactly, but they should share a consistent material palette. Mixing warm timber with cool polished metal can feel disjointed, whereas oak with brass or black with walnut reads as intentional. Aim for two materials maximum.

      Our Top Vitra Accessories
      From modern toolboxes to toy elephants, there’s much to be found in the Vitra accessories collection. As a truly iconic hub of modern design, Vitra crafts iconic designs by leading designers such as Charles and Ray Eames. In this article we’ll discuss some of our much-loved Vitra accessories and explore their histories. Above all, each piece in this edit is in stock and ready to be delivered direct to your home. Modern storage Arik Levy designed this modern interpretation of a toolbox for Vitra in 2010. Available in a kaleidoscope of colours, it’s worthy of being on display rather than hidden away in the garden shed. Keep tools or cleaning supplies in it or get creative and use it to store stationary or kitchen gadgets. Plus, thanks to its compact size it can be easily stowed in cabinets or on shelves. Vitra accessories for the kids The iconic Eames Elephant almost didn’t make it to our homes. It was an early creation that stemmed from Charles and Ray Eames’ experiments with plywood. In fact, an original prototype designed for a 14-year-old Lucia Eames remains in the possession of the Eames family today. Unfortunately, due to its tight curves and shape, it was too technically challenging to enter serial production. It wasn’t until 2007 that Vitra was able to bring it to life using modern technology. The smaller, plastic edition is perfect for children to play with. Or you can choose to display it as an iconic decorative accessory. Right on time Over seventy years ago, George Nelson designed a clock collection that remains remarkably current today. His designs stemmed from an analysis of how people read clocks and the conclusion that numbers are unnecessary. As such, each piece in the collection shares one common feature – the absence of numbers. The collection is incredibly varied, with wall clocks, built-in clocks and portable table clocks taking centre stage in the Vitra accessories collection. Their bold shapes and unique approach to colour offer a refreshing alternative to more traditional clocks. Storage statements Husband and wife design duo Charles and Ray Eames designed the Hang It All Coat Hook to encourage children to tidy up. The colourful balls that make the design so distinctive offer a playful alternative to traditional hooks. In 2012, Vitra released three new colourways to coincide with what would have been Ray Eames’ 100th birthday. Vitra collaborated with the Eames Office to select the red, green and white colour palettes. Vitra accessories with a design twist Created by design duo Raw-Edges, these Herringbone Cushions are a newer addition to the Vitra accessories collection. The cushions were originally designed for the VitraHaus in Weil am Rhein. When the Vitra team saw how much everyone loved them, they decided to add them to their collection. A technique called immersion dying inspired the cushion's motif. This involves dipping fabric into a dye bath at various intervals to create a striking ombré effect.

      Copper Décor Ideas And Home Accessories
      Warm and lustrous, coppery tones are the perfect accent to minimal spaces or an opulent addition to classically styled rooms. Providing a modern alternative to traditional chandeliers, groups of copper pendants continue to prove popular as lighting centrepieces. Plus, copper’s metallic finish also lends a fresh perspective to home accessories like mirrors, clocks and lamps. Read on and let our shiny new copper inspiration bring some interior inspiration to your home. Copper accessories If you don’t want to make any major design changes to your home, copper accessories are a great way to get on board with the trend. Not only are accessories made from copper more cost-effective than wallpapering or retiling, but they’re also incredibly versatile. The versatility of copper accessories means you can move them around the room or into different parts of the house to update your space. Some of the best ways to introduces copper to your home is through accessories like mirrors, lamps and vases. You could also consider copper cutlery, handles or sofa feet for small flourishes. Statement-making lighting If you want to make a statement in your room, then copper lighting can be a great way to do it. Beautifully reflective and elegant, copper ceiling lights or lamps are a timeless addition to your space. You can find copper lighting in plenty of styles, so there’s definitely something to suit your tastes. If you’re a mid-century enthusiast, then there are loads of classic copper lights designed by celebrated masters. If you prefer something more modern, then we have plenty to choose from by contemporary designers. We love how the bold copper pendant lights in this dining space stay true to the room’s minimalist aesthetic. Their organic shapes and brushed copper finish mean they enhance the room’s décor, without stealing the show. Plus, they’re perfect for casting a cosy glow and creating a warm ambience. Small accents of copper If you want to lend a touch of copper into your home without going overboard, some small flourishes could be the way to go. There are plenty of reasons why you may just want a small touch of copper in your home. Perhaps you want to match your drawer handles in with the rest of your room, or maybe you’d like to tie your exposed piping in further. For just small copper home accessories, we suggest planters, lamp stems and table legs made using the metal. Copper’s eco friendly Did you know that copper is one of the best materials you can use for architecture projects and interiors? That’s because it’s endlessly recyclable and incredibly durable, making it a clever choice for sustainable building. That’s why you see copper cladding more and more modern buildings. Copper in the kitchen Copper saucepans are a timeless addition to your kitchen. They are a classic design that’s equally at home in modern kitchens. Saucepans made using copper are often serious investments thanks to their unrivalled quality. There’s a reason our ancestors have cooked using copper for the last 11,000 years. Copper heats up quickly and evenly, then slows down fast when removed from the heat. That makes it perfect for cooking fish, sauces and desserts. To really make your copper accessories stand out, we suggest keeping your kitchen’s design neutral. With minimalist surfaces and cabinets, your copper saucepans will be the star of the show. Plus, they’re stylish enough to display on open shelves or hooks, rather than hiding away in a cupboard. Copper on the walls If you like to make a statement with bold interior design, copper is a great choice when it comes to walls. It reflects light beautifully, adding a luxurious and versatile flourish to your space. You could go all out, painting your entire room in a light copper hue. Or you could choose a wallpaper with hints of copper running throughout. Whatever you decide, adding copper to your walls will lend a touch more glamour to your home. We love this example because it’s perfect for building out a complete design scheme. With plenty of different tones running throughout it, you could easily accessorise with shades of blue and copper. If your design scheme is a little brighter, opt for copper wallpaper with lighter shades of cream, white and grey in it. Want to create your own copper statement?
