Damask is a smart pattern for home office accessories because it’s graphic, classic, and coordinates easily with other accessories. It has a dramatic, lush look and isn’t so available that you’ll see it everywhere, but is easy enough to find that you won’t go crazy finding matching accessories!
Here are our favorite damask home office storage accessories:
Brown Damask Desk Accessories
This set from Etsy seller 4EyesAndEars offers a lovely selection of must-have office accessories including a journal, dry erase/cork board, and matching push pins. The board is small, so it wouldn’t do as your only inspiration pin board, but propped up on your desk, it has just enough space for the important notes without running the risk of getting messy.
File folders
This set of 9 file folders comes in a dramatic black and white damask pattern. While you’re checking out these folders, also take a look at the other file folder patterns offered by Charming Cards–they have a wonderful variety, and I’d mix the black and white damask with either the Scandinavian set or the Pink Bees (which would be a cute way to indicate an especially urgent file).
Damask 2010 Organizer
Have you picked up your planner for next year yet? I haven’t, but this one makes me ready to start 2010 already! It’s refillable and started July 2009 so you can even start using it now. It includes expense sheets, project sheets and more and is the perfect size to tuck in a purse.
Storage Box
At 4.5″ tall x 7.25″ wide x 11″ deep, this box is perfect for photos, CDs or other office knick-knacks. They’ll look classy stacked atop one another on bookshelves and at just $7 each, you can afford to pick up as many as you need (plus, the price drops the more you buy).
Damask Wrapping Paper
What about those desk accessories that you already have but would like to coordinate with your fresh new damask organization tools? How about covering those that can be covered in this gorgeous aqua and brown wrapping paper. For an extra-hard wearing surface, you can coat with Modge Podge.
