lamps

While working, good lighting is essential. But, to make the space more cozy, it's nice to have lights that are aesthetically pleasing and dim. I've added a variety of gorgeous, simple, practical, and adjustable lamps that offer different light settin...

I am obsessed with this lamp! It's super affordable and has great reviews. It would definitely make any space feel more earthy/bohemian

Flower Table Lamp, 3-Level Brightness, E26 Bulb

I think the pressed flowers on this lamp are just gorgeous, and I love that the lamp has three different light tones so you can have brighter lighting for work or something dimmer for relaxation

String lights hanging across a desk could be super cute, so here are some that I found that have insanely high reviews

This little desk shelf organization nook is the CUTEST! It's probably my favorite organizer on this list. It's cute, practical, and has a lot of room for various supplies. I especially like the book section because, as a college student, it's the per...

KUHEITAER White Wooden Desk Shelf Organizer

I love this shelf because of how simply and minimalist it is

Janebert Wood Desk Shelf Organizer, White

This organizer comes in so many different colors! I love how many different storage compartments it has, and I especially love the little pull-out compartments

COMFYROOM Desk Organizer with 6 Compartments & 2 Drawers

This is another practical and minimalist organizer. Whats cool about it is that the tiers can be added/removed, so if you only need, for example, a 3-tiered organizer, then you can just remove one of the tiers and there you go!

4 Tier Stackable Desk Organizer, White, 4 Pack

This little desk pen organizer comes in many different colors! I love how it has tiny divided sections, and I also love how it rotates so you can easily find the supply you need

SKYDUE 360 Rotating Desk Pen Organizer

The thing I love about this specific organizer is how much room it gives you. The compartments are super big, so you can fit your books, textbooks, notebooks, etc., and maybe a cute lamp too?

Jerry & Maggie Adjustable Wood Desktop Organizer

relaxation

An essential for any cozy desk setup is, of course, relaxation items! I've listed my personal favorite essential oil diffuser as well as a general 6-set box of essential oils so you can find your favorite scent! I'll add more to this list as I find m...

This is a great selection of all of the basic, must-have essential oils! Lavendar is by far my favorite, but with this set, you can find the one that you like best!

Lagunamoon Essential Oils Set - Top 6 Blends (10mL)

I've had this exact diffuser for YEARS and love it! It still works great, and I've certainly given it a run for it's money. It changes colors so you can find the right vibe for you. You can control how much scent comes out of it so you're not overwhe...

ASAKUKI 300ML Essential Oil Diffuser, 5-in-1

keyboards

Desks obviously need a good keyboard! I've listed two of my personal favorites that I have and have tried myself, but I'll eventually add more that I find and think would be a great addition to any laptop setup!

I have this set, and I like it a lot! It's perfect for people who are wanting the more clacky keyboard typing sound. It's super easy to connect to your laptop/computer and doesn't have a wire or require bluetooth. It comes in so many different colors...

Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Combo, Retro Pink

I have this set and LOVE it! I switched to this one from the keyboard in the link to the left, and I'm really happy with it. It still has that satisfying click, but it's not super clacky and distracting. It comes in various colors, but this is the on...

Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Combo, Retro Low-Noise

desk mats / wrist rests

I personally like my setup calm and low-maintenance. A grippy, wipe-clean desk mat keeps the keyboard steady and the mouse glide smooth. I also find it essential to have a medium-firm wrist rest to keep my wrists neutral so I don’t get pins-and-needl...

I personally like using this laptop stand and having a keyboard on my desk in front of me!

Amazon Basics Ergonomic Laptop Stand, Silver

I have this lap desk and use it for EVERYTHING! Work, using my laptop, paper assignments, and even hobbies such as coloring, crafts, etc.

I am obsessed with the shape of this desk mat! It comes in various different colors but I personally love this light blue!

I think this floral pattern is just beautiful! I also love how this set comes not just with the mat, but with two different wrist rest options.

Anyshock Scalloped Desk Mat & Wrist Rests Set

I am in love with this design, although this set comes in various different colors. Gel memory foam rests are, by far, the BEST! They are so comfortable and make long work hours so much more cozy.

Gimars Gel Memory Foam Keyboard & Mouse Wrist Rest

This desk mat is simple and practical. I, of course, love the pink, but there are so many different colors to choose from to match your aesthetic or setup!

YSAGi Leather Desk Protector, Large Mouse Mat

I love how simple, aesthetically pleasing, and effective this wrist rest mouse pad is!

ErgoComfort Gel Wrist Rest Mouse Pad Pink

practical items

These are just some practical items that are often forgotten about but make life so much easier! Cable clips can help organize all of your cords, and an extension cord can allow you to charge all of the things you need to stay productive. These are g...

I LOVE these cord holders! They help organize your cords instead of having them all tangled up with each other. It also makes it easier to reach a cord as well.

Shintop Cable Clips 6 Pack White Cord Holder

This is a desk essential! It provides more room to connect your phone charger, computer charger, your lamp, etc.!

TESSAN Surge Protector 8 AC 3 USB 5Ft

Honestly, it's never a bad idea to have command strips on deck. They can be used for SO many different things and don't mess up your space when it's time for you to remove them! They're also just super easy to use.
