Millions of people across the nation spend hours and hours looking at it each day but pay little attention to making it look more appealing. What am I talking about you may ask? I'm talking about your office computer screen and work station!

As many of us will attest, the longest and most fruitful relationship we've had so far in our career ambitions has been with our computer hardware – it's always there, never answers back and does what's requested of it kindly and quickly (at least in the majority of cases when it hasn't decided to have a meltdown and erase our valuable work files).

Keeping this is mind, how many of us choose to dress up our desk and give it the tender loving care it deserves?

A cheerily furnished office can add spark to a lacklustre room and induce a happier mood amongst employees bleary eyed from the shenanigans of the night before. A beautifully set up desk can enliven your spirits and brighten your personal work space to similar effect.

Add a picture of your beloved encased in a silver frame or erect a table top water cooler to ensure that you're sufficiently hydrated. Nestle a tube of hand cream in amongst the stationery equipment housed in a colourful old mug to keep your mitts soft and manageable. For the extrovert who loves over-the-top decoration wrap a feather boa around your office chair and staple a lace trim to the edge of your desk (but ask permission first).
