Modhaus Desk setup featuring the black essentials desk organizers

 

In a world where many of us now work from home, a clutter-free and organized workspace can make a huge difference in productivity. I’ve found that adding the right desk accessories to my setup not only improves my focus but also elevates the overall look of my home office.

 

The key is selecting the right pieces that are both functional and stylish, so let's walk through 4 key tips to help transform your space.

 

 1. Create More Space with a Desk Shelf

The foundation of any well-organized workspace starts with finding extra room where you can. One of the easiest ways to do that is by adding a desk shelf or monitor riser. Not only does it lift your laptop or monitor to a more ergonomic height, but it also creates valuable space underneath for more storage.

 

By elevating your workspace essentials, you can tuck away things like notebooks, chargers, or even a keyboard, helping keep your desk clutter-free. It’s a simple addition that maximizes your surface area while improving your workspace’s functionality and look.

 

I personally love using our White Oak Desk Shelf because it allows me to keep my workspace clean and organized while maintaining a modern, minimalist look.

2. Keep Your Essentials Neat and Within Reach

Keeping track of small items like pens, sticky notes, and chargers can be a hassle. That’s why I use our Essentials Organization Set to keep everything in order. These trays keep your essentials organized and within arm’s reach, without adding clutter to your desk.

 

Crafted from solid wood, these desk trays not only help you stay organized but also add warmth and texture to your home office. By pairing matching finishes, you can create a cohesive, polished look that elevates your workspace while keeping it functional. 


Whether you’re jotting down notes or grabbing a pen, everything is right where you want it.

3. Get Your Phone Up and Out of the Way

One of the biggest productivity-stealers is your phone. I use our Upright Charging Stand to keep my phone up and out of the way, so it’s accessible but not cluttering my desk. Plus, it doubles as a sleek part of the setup, keeping your workspace organized and free from tangled cords.

 

By elevating your phone with the Upright you clear valuable desk space and reduce distractions. It keeps your phone at eye level, so you can easily glance at notifications without constantly reaching for it. It’s a simple upgrade that makes a big difference in keeping things tidy and productive. It’s available in both the One and Two versions, offering options depending on your needs—perfect for any home office setup.

With a few carefully chosen desk accessories, you can enhance both the look and feel of your workspace while keeping it organized. My setup features practical pieces like the desk shelf and pen tray, alongside small decorative touches that make the space feel personal and inviting.


A productive and comfortable home office is about more than just function—it’s about creating a space that reflects your style.

 

Minimalism doesn’t have to feel cold or sterile. It’s all about having the right tools in place to help you work efficiently without adding chaos. A few well-placed desk organizers and trays can make a world of difference in keeping things neat, stylish, and under control.
