Double Desk Inspiration

Above: Side-by-side workspaces, each with their own separate but identical computers, lighting, bulletin boards, and desktop accessories. This space is young, fresh, and cheerful. Plus, the color orange inspires creativity.

Above: Another side-by-side workspace. Again, the space is organized with symmetry in mind when it comes to the laptops, books, flowers, and lights. This space is clean, cool, and clutter-free.

Above: This is a face-to-face workspace, which is separated by a bookshelf. Each side has its own desktop and storage space, but the opposite ends are unified with color and accessories. This space is comfortable, calm, and organized.

A student's workspace is one of the most important functions of a dorm room. Not only can decor be an obstacle when sharing a space with a roomie, but so can creating two functional but inspirational study spaces. Rather than putting your desks at opposite sides of the room, it may be beneficial to designate a certain part of the room as the dorm's study area. Put both of your desks there, either face-to-face or side-to-side. Collaborate on desk accessories, color scheme, and organization so that your space is highly functional and highly attractive.
