Transforming your work desk into an aesthetic work desk that meets your functional needs but, also aligns with your personal style can make your day brighter. Your work area should be a sanctuary that inspires productivity and sparks joy. Let’s dive in.
Don’t miss our tips for designing a home office and more office inspo ideas. Working every day doesn’t necessarily mean you have to do it in a boring, uninspiring space.
Aesthetic Work Desk Ideas
First things first, identify your style. Are you into minimalism with its clean lines and monochrome color palettes, or does boho-chic, with its earthy tones and natural textures, speak to you? Your desk is your personal space, and it should reflect who you are. Adding personal touches not only makes the space more inviting but can also boost your mood.
Minimalistic Aesthetic Work Desk Inspo
If you don’t like a lot of “stuff” in or around your desk, having a minimalistic aesthetic work desk is probably perfect for you.
- This workspace is elegant and chic. It features light wood with very few accents on the desk. We love the gold photo display and the wooden riser with white legs! (Grab the photo display and the pretty riser here, and these shelves look like the ones in the photo.)
2. We find this inviting desk setup to be simple and neat. Loving how it’s softened by the little painting in the ornate frame, and the textured vase with a few lovely hydrangea stems.
Crocheted pink flower coasters – These are so cute, it’s ridiculous!
3. The colors have been kept to a minimum here, so the little pop of greenery along with the gold in the lamp are standouts. (We think this is the lamp in this gorgeous workspace.)
4. The gray and white work beautifully together. The monochromatic lamp is a delight.
5. When all you really need is some tough love. (Get the print here.)
Getting Shit Done notepad – You gotta know productivity soars when you write things down on this goofy notepad.
Cozy Aesthetic Work Desk Ideas
Pinks, florals, and a soft pillow in your chair will make the work area feel so much nicer.
6. There is such a creative, warm vibe going on here. From the simple green leaf on the bulletin board to the bright, floral dress form, there are so many pretty things for the eye to take in. (Here’s a similar pink and gold globe on Amazon.)
7. We’re crazy about the colors here and the little planter with the white trim is especially cute. (We found the cloud-shaped pillow on Amazon.)
8. Love the macrame paired with the wall prints and the brushed gold accents. And, the throw rug? Perfection. (We found similar decor options on Amazon for the throw rug, the macrame, and the gorgeous lamp.)
9. How could anyone go to work in this space and be anything but happy? We’re especially drawn to the chandelier and the lamps. (Here’s a dupe for the desk.)
10. The geometric patterned lamp and throw with the pink peonies are perfection. (Grab some artificial peonies on Amazon, and although we couldn’t find a dupe for that steal-the-show lamp, we did find Aztec lampshades.)
11. Every inch of this design has been put together so thoughtfully. The geometric lighting fixture in the center is incredible. (It took us about 90 seconds to buy that cute cloud wrist rest on Amazon!)
Black and White Examples
12. What a stunning example of a black & white aesthetic work desk. It looks so fresh and modern.
13. If a sleek, modern look calls to you, you’ll want to take some inspiration from this space. (Here are black pendant lights that are almost exactly the same.)
14. So simple and small, but so beautiful. (The stunning lamp is no doubt designer, but we found a dupe here.)
15. Even though there are black and white lines everywhere, somehow it doesn’t seem at all busy. It works! Love the striped totes on the wall. What a great idea!
Accents of Green
16. We would describe this aesthetic as alive… because it is! The macrame and fairy lights are everything. Gorgeous x 10.
17. Doesn’t this make you want to say yes to green? And, look at all the cute little accents! (Here are the fun computer speakers.)
18. We can’t imagine a better office for spring and summer.
19. It’s not just the beautiful plants and colorful assortment of stuffies that make this so much fun It’s the large green leaf rug that steals the show. (You can get a giant Monstera leaf rug on Amazon.)
Bold Aesthetic Work Desk Ideas
These spaces are colorful and in your face. They’re wonderful in every way.
20. The wood and the teal color is a combination we’re crazy for. The Bauhaus color chart is amazing and you can get it on Amazon.
21. Who knew pink, green and yellow post it notes could look so cool? Very clever. The giant leaf on the wall is awesome. (You can get it here.)
22. The desk is so orderly. We love that the focal piece of the area feels almost like controlled chaos. It’s playful and unique. (We found orange panels like these on Amazon.)
Cute Pastel Kawaii Work Desks
Being playful with your work desk can make a tough day a little silly and fun. You don’t have to take your space so seriously!
23. This is so cool, right down to the mushroom and the cute white candle. Nice job on the desktop wallpaper as well! (That keyboard is too cute not to buy, so here it is.)
24. The tulips and the tulip lamp are our favorites. But, there is so much to love in this sweet space. (Here’s the tulip lamp on Amazon, the moon lamp, and the pink donut vase.)
25. This is one of our favorites. All those organized markers, adorable containers, and shelf full of pastel notebooks leaves us no choice but to fall in love. (Here’s one of the containers, the yellow egg pencil holder, the Beauty and the Beast Chip cup, and the tiny unicorn.)
