Cozy season is just around the corner, and while I’m still soaking up the rest of summer, I’m already planning my fall desk decor!

Speaking of, if you’re looking for some fall desk decorating ideas, you’re in the right place.

Today, I’m taking you on a tour of my desk setup and sharing all of the decor finds I used to cozy up my workspace for autumn.

My desk area is super small, so if you’re wondering whether you can make your setup cute even with limited space - don’t worry, you totally can!

Overview

Let’s begin with an overview of my current setup. My desk is built into the wall and tucked into a little nook, which can make decorating it a challenge!

But as you can see, I’ve gone with a classic autumn beige, brown, and rust color palette. I’ve also included white here and there to brighten up the area.

Below, I’ve linked all the decorations I used that I was able to find a link for in case you’re looking for some fall desk decor of your own:

Four-piece white pegboard set

Gummy bear candle

Warm & cozy jar candle

Mini retro style speaker

White round analog clock

Typewriter pencil holder

Wood laptop stand

Desk pad

White desk chair

The Pegboard

Now, let’s dive deeper into each part of my setup, starting with my pegboard. The pegboard is a simple, white, four-piece board from Amazon that actually doesn’t require drilling to install!

I used this double sided wall tape to hang it. It wasn’t totally perfect as I did have to re-hang one of the boards after a few months due to it slipping down, but overall the tape was a decent find and easy to use.

For the board, I kept the colors very light and minimal. Lots of beautiful cream and soft brown tones!


Left Corner

I have several candles I’ve been rotating between this fall! Of course, they’re all some sort of autumn scent - I’m loving the pumpkin woods scented one (from Target btw).

And that little pumpkin shaped one? Adorable! That one’s also from Target if you’re curious. And then of course, I have my little white desk lamp to complete the picture.

Right Corner

In this corner, I have my cute little typewriter pencil holder accompanied by a mini desk calendar. I placed a mini fake plant behind the calendar to fill the space a bit more.

Not part of the desk decor, but I’ll often place whatever beverage I’m drinking (usually coffee or tea) on this side of the desk, along with a coaster. Of course, a pumpkin-themed mug is a necessity for fall!

Tech + Chair

To round out the tour of my fall desk decor, let’s talk tech.

I keep my Macbook on a handy wood laptop stand, which makes typing a lot more convenient! It also helps my posture by making sure I’m not slumping over to see my screen because it’s too low.

I love this stand because it’s adjustable, and also has a super minimal design to fit beautifully with my desk aesthetic. Below that is my desk pad to protect my surface from scratches and beverage spills!

And of course, I have my minimalist white desk chair, with a blanket draped over for easy access (and to commemorate cozy season).
