Get a desk with a view

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.

Keep memory sticks safe

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.

Customise your filing cabinet

A striking green cabinet can be customised with rustic baskets and handmade signs held in place with magnets. Its a practical spot for the printer, too.

Berry Red stocks rustic magnets like these bird designs. Find a similar filing cabinet from The Conran Shop.
