How to Create a Calming, Creative Desk Space with Handmade Calendars

by Roohani Rang 12 Jul 2025

Dear Fellow Stationery Lovers,

Our desks are more than just tables and furniture. It's a big part of our everyday lives.
They’re where ideas bloom, where we chase deadlines, and dreams come true. Although sometimes also where we forget to pause and look around.

At Roohanirang, I believe your workspace should feel like you: creative, grounded, and alive with art and soul. A place of respite that brings you peace, while that sense of achievement you chase.

Here’s how to create a desk space that feels calming and mindful while being super organised.


Start with what matters the most, and help you optimise 

Decluttering isn’t just clearing things away. It's an art of letting go off things that make you feel stuck, negative energy that keeps lingering. 


It’s asking: What deserves to stay in my life? What gives me immense hope and joy for the day.

Keep only the things that inspire you to do better, soothe you to think calmly , or helps you create a new you:

  • Your favourite pen that reminds you of a milestone

  • A small handmade notebook that stores your journey

  • A cup for tea leaves that brings you calm in days of chaos

Let your desk reflect you and the future you will build. Make slow living a conscious choice, and not just busy living a to-do list.


🪷 Add an anchor: a handmade desk calendar from RoohaniRang 

Amongst the hum of meetings and everyday chatter, a calendar isn’t just for dates:

  • Ours are crafted from recycled handmade paper with real flower petals. Giving them a natural fragrance

  • Illustrated with Indian motifs that remind you to breathe and focus on your present

  • Each page feels textured, imperfect, beautifully human and reminds you of old world charm. Romanticise life everyday, in the small and big moments both, because everyday counts.

A handmade calendar quietly reminds you : “This day is yours, go break a leg”


🌿 Bring in mindful colour & art onto your work desk

Pin up prints that calm rather than crowd. Grow without the noise
Be it a hand-illustrated Gulmohar motif, a line of poetry, some gold foil.
Soft terracotta beige colours, sage, or cream — colours that soothe rather than shout.

Every object should earn its place by making you pause, faint smile, or breathe deeper and live in the now.


🧡 Create small rituals

A beautiful desk isn’t the goal — how it feels is. A slow, mindful living.

  • Light a candle before work begins

  • Flip your affirmation calendar card each morning

  • End the day by listing three things that went well. Practise gratitude, be happy with what you have.

These tiny acts bring calm within chaos — making your workspace a place to return to, not escape from. A small home away from home. Since we spend major part of our day there. Make it yours.


🌸 Handmade isn’t just for aesthetics or marketing . It’s a philosophy. A slow, mindful, conscious choice. That benefits you and the makers.

At Roohanirang, we believe:

  • Design should be personal, evoke emotions and definitely not generic. It should speak to you

  • Craft should be slow, not rushed. With expertise, craft and lot of love

  • Products should hold stories of the makers, not just function. A thing that to have

When you fill your space with handmade, eco-friendly pieces of stationery, you bring these values into your work too: care, patience, intention.
