Get in the festive spirit with these Christmas desk decorations

1. Festive banner

First on our list of Christmas desk decorations is hanging up a festive banner. Every celebration needs to feature a colourful banner. Find a banner that is eye catching and spreads the Christmas joy throughout the office.

You could always make your own banner and turn it into a team building exercise. Each year you could design a new banner together.

2. Snow themed desk

Bring the snow to the office with this next Christmas desk decoration idea. Transform your desk into a snowy fairyland with cotton wool. Cover your desk in cotton wool and paper snowflakes to give off a snowy effect.

Just make sure you don’t spill your coffee in the fresh snow.

3. Mini Christmas tree

Make your desk extra festive with a Christmas tree of your own. You can buy miniature ones from plenty of shops. Up your tree game by decorating it with tinsel, baubles and fairy lights. Your co-workers will admire how beautiful your desk looks with your glam tree.

You could find some miniature presents to put under your tree, so it looks just like the big version.

How will you decorate your tree?

4. Make a wreath with post it notes

We still have plenty more ideas for Christmas desk decorations. We love the sound of this next one. If you work in an office, no doubt you will have a lot of stationery. Transform that stationery into something festive for your desk.

Grab all your green post it notes to create a layered circle. Add some small red circle stickers to the green post it notes. And just like that, you have a wreath made from post-it notes.

Make as many as these as you want and display them on walls and windows around the office.

5. Add tinsel to your desk

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to make your desk look festive, add some tinsel. It’s easy to find in most stores and will take next to no time sticking it on your desk. There are so many different colours to choose from. Experiment making your desk look festive.

Perhaps you could buy a batch for everyone in the office to decorate their desks.

Who will have the best desk?

6. Stockings

One of the most popular decorations you can expect to see at Christmas time is a stocking. That’s why we have included it in our blog of Christmas desk decorations.

A great team building exercise is to create Christmas stockings together. The stocking can be personalised with your names and hung on your desk. The stocking would also make great storage for Christmas cards.

You can reuse your stockings each year.

7. Gift wrap your desk

Don’t worry, we still have some more Christmas desk decorations ideas you’re going to love.

For this next one, you’re going to need a lot of wrapping paper as you gift wrap your desk. Your desk couldn’t look any more Christmassy if you tried.

So, get to the shops and find some festive wrapping paper to cover your desk in. You don’t have to stick with one wrapping paper. Cover your desk in several choices of wrapping paper for that extra Christmas look.

The idea will soon catch on throughout the office.
