Keep clutter off your kitchen counters —
a planning desk is a must-have.

Infuse your personal style: Fresh flowers and favorite collections placed near your work area will bring a smile to your face — even if you’re overwhelmed by the day’s activities.

Don’t forget storage: Although this is a small space in which to work, drawers and cabinets provide storage for paper, pens and files.

Plan it out: Design a designated area with ample space to jot down a shopping or “to-do” list.
