Working from home has plenty of perks, including getting a little more freedom with your workspace. Your desk doesn’t have to look like it came straight out of an office supply catalog.

Whether you want to make your setup more comfortable, get some of the clutter under control, or simply add something that makes you smile during the workday, there are plenty of ways to make your workspace feel a little more like you.

Here are 20 fun work-from-home finds that bring a mix of personality, organization, comfort, and a little bit of unnecessary joy to your desk.

Desk Accessories That Make Work a Little More Fun

Sometimes the best desk accessories aren't the ones you actually need. They're the little things that give your workspace some personality and make an ordinary Tuesday slightly more entertaining.

#1. Lulu the Lucky Piggy Companion

A tiny pig that clips onto the top of your computer screen and hangs out while you work? Absolutely unnecessary. Also adorable. Lulu is the kind of tiny desk companion that adds a little personality without taking up precious desk space.

#2. Mini Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube Guy

Bring some used-car-lot energy to your next Teams meeting. This miniature version of the classic wacky waving inflatable tube guy is small enough for your desk and ridiculous enough to make the workday a little more entertaining.

#3. Medieval Knight Pen Holder

Give your favorite pen the dramatic resting place it deserves. This little armored knight doubles as a pen or letter opener holder and a paperweight, making it surprisingly functional for something that looks ready to defend your desk.

#4. Felt Letter Board

Add a favorite quote, reminder, inside joke, or whatever message you need to get through the week. With plenty of letters and several color options, a small letter board is an easy way to change up your workspace whenever the mood strikes.

#5. Retro Pixel Art Bluetooth Speaker

This little retro TV-inspired speaker packs a surprising amount into one cute desk accessory. Along with Bluetooth audio, it has a customizable pixel display, clock faces, FM radio, white noise, an alarm, and even a Pomodoro timer for keeping your workday on track. You can also use the Divoom app to add your own pixel art and photos, making it equal parts desk decor and actually-useful gadget.

Cute is a bonus, but comfort still comes first. For anything you're sitting on or using for support throughout the day, make sure the size and design work with your actual desk setup.

Planters With Personality

A little greenery can make a workspace feel much more inviting, and your plants deserve better than another plain pot.

These small planters are perfect for bringing some life and personality to a desk, shelf, or windowsill.

#16. Smiley Face Planter

A simple little planter with a happy face is an easy way to add some cheer to your workspace. Add a small plant and you've basically got yourself another coworker.

#18. Lying Down Figure Pot

Working from home comes with certain freedoms, including the freedom to put a cheeky little planter in your office simply because you can.

A tiny hedgehog planter is an easy way to add a little whimsy to your desk without taking up much room. Fill it with a small succulent or other petite plant for a cute little pop of greenery in your workspace.

Make Your Workspace Feel Like Yours

One of the nicest things about working from home is getting to create a workspace that doesn't have to feel like an office.

Maybe that means making your setup more comfortable. Maybe it's finally organizing the pile of pens and sticky notes taking over your desk. Or maybe it's putting a miniature inflatable tube guy next to your monitor because watching it flail around makes you happy.

Your workspace doesn't have to be perfectly styled or packed with gadgets. A few fun, useful, or completely unnecessary finds can make the place where you spend your workday feel a whole lot more like your own.
