I’m covering everything from decor to organizational tools in this blog post and I’m so excited about all of these finds!
When my desk, phone, and laptop look pretty, I’m way more excited to get to work for the day.
So without further ado, here are 25 aesthetic desk accessories that’ll help get you motivated to be productive and get sh*t done!
Cute Desk Accessories #1-7: Keyboards
My first finds are some cute keyboards!
I’m totally in love with these first couple of desk accessories, and you’ve probably seen these all over TikTok!
I found some absolutely gorgeous keyboards that are sure to transform your workspace and make it super aesthetic.
There are options for wireless and Bluetooth keyboards, and the colors range from blues, matcha greens, pinks, pastels, and even rainbow.
I’m especially obsessed with the multi-colored ones! Not only are these keyboards simply beautiful, but the sound they make when you type on them is so satisfying.
Perfect for ASMR!
Aesthetic Desk Accessories #8-9: Mouse Pads
My next recommendations are mouse pads.
Now that you’ve picked a new keyboard, it’s time to find a cute mouse pad to go along with it!
I found a really pretty and simple option as well as a marble option, but you can literally just Google whatever color or pattern you want and you’ll be sure to find something you like.
I’m definitely eyeing the marble patterned one though, which matches my desk space perfectly!

Aesthetic Desk Find #10: Computer Monitor Light Bar
Here’s another TikTok-inspired desk decor item. My third recommendation is a computer light!
If you love the look of the colorful strip lights that seem to be in the background of every TikTok, you’ll love the look of this monitor light bar for your computer.
You can use this as a desk lamp on the white setting or change it to a cool color like purple or red to amp up the vibes when you’re sitting and working at your desk.

Cute Desk Accessories #11-13: Desk Organizers
My next cute desk finds focus on organization.
I love desk decor, but functionality is important too! Luckily, you can have both.
I found some super cute desk organizers and bins that will keep your stuff in one place and also match the aesthetic of your workspace.
Pencil holders, desk shelves, and storage racks like these are perfect if you have a desk with little or no drawer space.
Here are a couple of different options to give you some inspiration or to purchase for your own desk:

Aesthetic Desk Find #16: Desk Alarm Clock
My next recommendation is a desk alarm clock. To help keep you on track, here’s a super cute, minimal, marble desk alarm clock!
The rectangular option in the light marble color is my favorite, but it comes in a bunch of other cute options, too!
You can get this in a triangular shape or a cube as well, and for colors, try the beautiful black and grey marble pattern if you like darker colors.

#17: Desk Pad
My next recommendation is a desk pad.
Desks are hard to keep in perfect condition - they scratch, they get stained, they get spilled on, and so on.
To help keep your desktop in good condition and just make it look pretty, check out these cute desk mats!
Put your laptop, other heavy objects, or even drinks on this when you’re sitting on your desk to prevent damage.

#18-19: Phone Stands/Holders
My next two recommendations are phone holders.
If you don’t use a phone or tablet holder, you’re seriously missing out! I use mine every single day to prop my phone up in a super convenient way.
It’s especially convenient when I’m taking a call or even just watching YouTube or Netflix.
When I’m working, I love having some sort of background noise, especially music, so having my phone propped up right next to me makes it super convenient to change the song or find the perfect playlist.
This one is also a phone stand but it’s a little more unique!
I’ve never seen one like this before and I absolutely love the look of this.
For an option a little more versatile than the phone stand I talked about before this, this is perfect.
You can clip it anywhere and bend it so it stays at the perfect angle for whatever you need.

This set of colorful pastel iPhone chargers is simply adorable and I just had to include it!

#23-24: Wall Grid Wire Boards
My next recommendations are grid wire boards.
For an easy way to hang some wall decor by your desk, use a grid wall board like these!
You can hang anything on these from pictures, calendars, notes, work papers, and more.
If there's something you want to keep easily accessible and within reach, a hanging wire wall grid is a great way to do that!
Cute Desk Accessory #25: Small Trash Can
My next aesthetic desk recommendation is a trash can.
A trash can is a must have for any office or workspace. Make throwing out the trash a little bit more enjoyable with a super cute, marble trash can like this one!

My final recommendation is a pastel highlighter set. Your notes and to-do lists are going to look absolutely beautiful when you use these!
