Never underestimate the power of a little shine, especially when it comes to trays and beautiful vessels for your desk. Gather your pens, pencils, and accessories in pretty cups and repurposed glass votives, and place them in a glimmering tray for a sophisticated and organized display that’s also easy to move.

These small delights will bring a little charm (and inspiration) to your practical work surface.

Give Everything Its Place

Spread out catchalls, small stacks of notebooks, objets, and boxes and mail baskets in a gridlike manner, making sure to leave lots of breathing room among your groupings. It’s a stylish approach for designating a spot for your accessories while giving your work space a collected look.
