You don't describe the desk so it is hard to say what can be done. I know it would be nice if the desk was the type that opened up with the hinges to make it some kind of dressing table type deal with a mirror and compartments on the inside to store things.
I would say think outside the box and perhaps the shape of the desk could be used to create something else. Think about some kind of media storage or play area or something like that.
