Place a trestle table next to a window for an ideal desk that can be easily stowed away if you need the space. Use recycled glass containers and plant pots to keep your desk clear from clutter.
Find a similar console table at OKA (opens in new tab).

A purse with a zip makes a great place to store computer memory sticks safely. And why not choose memory sticks in rustic wooden or twiggy designs to add to the country look?
Buy quirky memory sticks at Lazybone (opens in new tab).

Pretty painted and rattan letter racks are perfect for stashing away cards and stationary.
Hoi Polloi (opens in new tab) sells cute country letter racks.

A striking green cabinet can be customised with rustic baskets and handmade signs held in place with magnets. It’s a practical spot for the printer, too.
Berry Red (opens in new tab) stocks rustic magnets like these bird designs. Find a similar filing cabinet from The Conran Shop (opens in new tab).

Transport your laptop in a stylish bag when not in use. We love this eco-friendly case made of recycled food sacks.

Keep notes and personal mementoes organised with wire and mini pegs. Simply attach craft wire to nails and then peg on your favourite pictures and postcards to add a personal touch.
Pick up wire, pegs and ribbon from HobbyCraft (opens in new tab).

Use colourful stickers to add a personal touch to a country-style oak cupboard – a storage space large enough to hide away the shredder…

Keep to those deadlines with your own, homemade, eye-catching wall clock. Simply clip on cut-out paper numbers and your favourite postcards.

An old printer’s rack is a great storage solution for keys, stationary and notes.

Banish boring grey computers and opt for a colourful mini netbook laptop. We love this butterfly design. Add country charm to your tabletop with a glass vase filled with flowers.
