Also, this post is about a home office desk. So really, there shouldn't be anyone there to see how "insane" you are for daring to eat in a different way than what's socially accepted.


Tips for Keeping Clean While You Eat at Your Desk

Oh my god, so much ranting over the chopsticks. Of course, everyone just HAS to be the same and NEVER do anything that's not precisely what other people do. Relax, would you? no harm in thinking out of your little box.

My apartment is similar, size-wise, so here are things I did:
1. You can use furniture to create separate areas in the main room, like putting a sofa backing to the kitchen and create two rooms in one and adding a rug to the living room area, to really define it.
2. Same goes if you need a working area - place a desk near the window and separate it from the rest of the room using a shelving unit (I got a cheap one from Ikea).
3. Try storing up-wards, meaning putting boxes on top of the closet / under the bed and trying to hide things you don't use often (or better yet, get rid of them).
4. Most importantly - try to keep it neat. My place looks twice as big when everything's in place.

good luck!

my tip, as some one who lives in a pretty small studio - keep things as tidy as possible. my kitchen area looks twice as big when everything's in place. good storage is also very important.
