Thank you for the great response to my desk I posted earlier this week! Whenever I style a space, I do this thing where I go through Pinterest and make a list of all of the styling elements from my favorite rooms. For example, I Pinterest search “desks” and write down all of the cute accessories I see commonly used again and again. I did this with desks and thought I would pass on my research. So this is a cheat sheet of how to style a desk with examples below. You want a pretty desk? Put this stuff on it:
- Business cards in a holder
- Cup with pens/pencils
- Calendar
- Clock
- Box for paper
- Tape Dispenser
- Stapler
- Task Lamp
- Notebook/planner
- Decorative Object (ceramic animal, fun vase, interesting shaped object)
- Inspirational Quotes/ Cute prints
- Candle
- Cute cup or mug
- Laptop or Computer with a cute wallpaper
- Magazines
- Scissors
- Washi tape
- Globe
- Pillow or Throw on chair
- Glasses
- Head phones
- Hour Glass
- Paper clips in bowl
- Pretty books
- Large script. Statement word
- Camera
- Clipboard
- Bulletin Board
- Thank you cards
- Plant or flowers
Aren’t there so many options to get that desk of your dreams?!
Here are some examples of my all-time favorite desks that helped influence my desk’s décor (all can be found on my Pinterest board here)

Desk Examples:
White and a soft pink are my favorites when it comes to desk décor. I love the bold graphic on the wall and that mod chair
These shelves! With the pops of aqua! I also love the hello sign and the washi tape galore
How fun is this desk?! I love the whimsical touch of the piñatas and the cheeky cup
How perfect is that tassel banner? The inspirational art with the hints of pink is perfection
And lastly, I love this simple desk. No fuss, just enough pretty things to inspire
Have you made over your desk lately? I’ll be honest, I love staring at mine (haha!). It was a lot of work getting it to a “perfect” state, but it’s pretty awesome having a space that feels finished and all mine.
