The average person spends 90,000 hours at work over their lifetime, and for office workers, that’s 90,000 hours spent sitting behind a desk. If we’re going to be at our desks, we may as well have fun with it!

The 24 desk accessories listed below are practical, comfortable, ingenious, and just plain adorable! If you’re looking to spice up your home office or workplace, the list below is perfect for you.

Desk Accessories for Complete Comfort

1. A Laptop Stand or Desktop Riser

No matter what type of computer you’re using, ergonomic design is essential! Level up your laptop with an adjustable laptop stand or choose a monitor stand with a handy drawer. You can also opt for a sit-stand workstation that can accommodate laptops or desktops as well as separate keyboards.

2. A Mouse Pad with Gel Wrist Rest

If you don’t already have a mouse pad, choose one with a gel wrist rest for extra support. If you have an old school mouse pad that’s as flat as a pancake, now is the perfect time to upgrade and protect your hand!

3. An Ergonomic Mouse

If a supportive mouse pad still leaves you feeling strained, you might need an ergonomic mouse. These unusual looking devices won’t just draw the eye. Their unique design is made to improve hand comfort and help you avoid conditions like carpal tunnel.

4. A Cushion for Your Office Chair

Maintaining good posture in the office is a job of its own. Make life a little easier with back support cushions and seat cushions that can make any office chair more comfortable and ergonomic.

5. A Balance Board for Your Standing Desk

Standing desks are a great innovation, but you might be in for a shock when you first use one. Standing all day can come with pain, fatigue, and discomfort, but a balance board can help with this. As well as engaging the body, balance boards keep the mind nimble for increased productivity!

6. A Multipurpose Desk Organiser

If your desk is plagued by stray papers, folders, and sticky notes, a multipurpose desk organiser is the perfect option for you.

This sleek and sturdy mesh organiser has space for all your documents, pens, and folders. For even more versatility, try this strong metal organiser with both vertical dividers and horizontal shelves.

7. A Pencil and Pen Holder

Gather up all your stray pens, pencils, markers, and other office accessories. They don’t belong all over your desk or loose in a drawer. Try this duo pencil cup holder with two separate compartments, or opt for a colourful and fun design that brightens up your desk and doubles as adorable décor!

8. Drawer Divider Inserts

Drawers are an office worker’s best friend… that is until they become your worst enemy! If your drawers are so overstuffed that they’ve become a chaotic mess, straighten things up with a customisable drawer divider. Simply insert a divider into your drawer for an instant organisation overhaul.

9. Self-Adhesive Cable Clips

Keep all your cables under control with self-adhesive cable clips. Simply stick the clips to your desk and run the cables through them for easy and tidy cable care and management.

Other options include elegant cable boxes and under-desk cable trays!

10. Wireless Chargers

If you want to do away with cables and wires altogether, a wireless charger is the perfect option for your desk. You can get charging stations that hold multiple devices or a single wireless charger that doubles as a stand for your phone.

11. Under Desk Headphone Holders

There’s usually a heap of unused space under your desk, and this is one way to make the most of it. Install a small mount that can hold your headphones when you’re not wearing them. Under desk headphone holders often come with built-in USB charging ports and space for your other devices, such as your watch.

12. A Mini Vacuum

If crumbs drive you crazy but you can’t help snacking at your desk, a mini desk vacuum is perfect for you. Pick up those crumbs in no time at all with a colourful, battery-powered vacuum that fits on your desk!

13. A Notebook

Never underestimate the value of a simple notebook and pen. Whether you’re jotting down an idea, writing a reminder, or copying down a phone number, it’s always good to have a notebook by your side.

14. A Good Stapler

Staplers are wonderful when they actually work! If you don’t already have a stapler or you’re looking for a reliable new model, try this heavy-duty stapler.

15. A Tape Dispenser

If you’ve ever wasted minutes trying to find the opening for your sticky tape, you know how useful a tape dispenser can be. Simply put your sticky tape in the dispenser and leave the tape hanging on the edge for fast and easy tape cutting.

16. Photo Frames

Frame documents and certificates or keep a family photo nearby. Whatever you use it for, a photo frame is a great addition to any desk.

17. Desk Mats

A desk mat has two excellent uses. It gives you a bigger mouse pad than ever before and it’s the perfect surface for writing with pen and paper!

18. Whiteboards, Chalkboards, and Corkboards

Notetaking has never been easier thanks to desktop whiteboards, chalkboards, and corkboards. For a modern take on notetaking, consider this glass board, which acts as both a partition and a notetaking solution!

19. An Hourglass

There are hundreds of ways to set a timer these days, but why not do it with style! Get an hourglass for your desk and watch the sand slip away as you complete your tasks.

20. A Succulent

A little bit of greenery can go a long way to promoting productivity, stress relief, and good health. Choose a hardy succulent or a desktop terrarium that requires minimal care and will brighten up your desk.

21. A Foot Hammock

Footrests are a great addition to any office, but some people are taking this a step further! These days, you can even get a mini foot hammock for under your desk or even an inflatable footrest!

22. Fun Desk Calendars

From daily cat calendars to perpetual calendars, there’s never been a better way to brighten up your desk and give yourself something to look forward to every day!

23. Stress Balls

Let’s face it, the office can get stressful. That’s why no desk is complete without a fidget cube, stress ball, mini-puzzle, or something else to take your mind off things for a few minutes.

24. An Anti-Spill, Anti-Fall Mug

Enjoying a drink in the office is one of the small joys of life. Spilling your drink all over your desk, keyboard, and mouse is a shortcut to a stressful day. Products like The Mighty Mug keep your drink at the perfect temperature and are designed to never tip over or spill, making them perfect for the office.
