Whether working at home or in a traditional office, many of us spend a lot of time at our desks. Having an organized space helps us work efficiently, but it doesn't mean that it has to lack style. Here are some beautiful accessories to keep your desk neat and chic. — Cristin from Simplified Bee
These chic wall accessories would be great for keeping small desks tidy.
Mugs are great desk accessories, especially ones with a monogram. I love to use them to hold pencils or business cards, or to fill with tea.
This sweet owl pencil cup is a current favorite of mine.
Fill your pencil cups with a handful of colored pencils to finish off the look.
These sleek black pencils topped with assorted crystals would also be a colorful way to fill a pencil cup.
Electronic devices can clutter a desk in no time. A handsome charging station is an attractive way to bring order to your desktop.
Decorative boxes are a great way to store office supplies and keep desks clear. I love the nail-head trim on this chic desk accessory!
Add a sophisticated and exotic feel to your desktop with this natural bone box from India.
For a modern touch, these black lacquered canisters would do the trick.
These ice cream cone paper clips would add a fun touch to documents and would look darling in a jar atop the desk.
I am adding this simple yet chic acrylic tape dispenser to my wishlist.
A pair of foo dog figurines is a great desk accessory. Perch them on a tray or stack of books.
Every office needs a trash can. I love this French market–inspired wastebasket.
Bookends are another great desk accessory that help keep order while adding a touch of style.
Table lamps can be a great way to add task lighting and style to a desk.
Catchall trays are great for keeping odds and ends organized on a desktop. This Alice in Wonderland catchall with the “We’re all mad here” Cheshire Cat quotation is adorable!
Magazine holders are a great way to keep files, loose papers and, of course, magazines neatly organized. They can also bring fun patterns and bold color to your work space.
Add a little serenity to your desktop with a live plant. I adore this footed aerium!
Interject a pop of color and keep office supplies organized with these chic lacquered boxes.
Vintage items like this painted box make stylish desk accessories and help control clutter.
This lucite tray with a preppy pattern and monogram is also a great option for keeping a desktop stylishly organized.
