Guide · New Year

New Year, new desk

Crest device stand holding a closed laptop, a Ridge catchall tray, a Kite planter and a lit Quiet Reed glow lamp on a cleared wooden desk

The first week of January is the easiest time to reset a desk: the holidays have cleared it, and the year hasn't filled it up yet. This guide is a short plan for keeping it that way, one piece at a time.

Give each thing a home. The laptop stands upright when you stop work, the headphones and phone get a stand, the pens go in one organiser, and the keys, earbuds and watch go in a tray. Then add a lamp for the evenings and one small plant. Every price below is the live price on our store, and anything that sells out drops off this page automatically.

See the 12 picks
  • Holds a closed laptop upright on its edge in a slot about 2 cm wide, so the desk is clear the moment work stops.

  • Two slots, 15 mm and 17 mm wide, for a slim laptop and a tablet or phone side by side. Check your device's thickness first.

  • A curved stand with a gently dished saddle that keeps over-ear headphones off the desk.

  • A sculptural phone stand that keeps the screen up and in view, so the phone stops wandering round the desk.

  • Three compartments, one large and two smaller, each about 9.7 cm deep, for pens, scissors and a ruler.

  • A wavy organiser about 19 cm wide for pens, stationery and the cables that end up loose.

  • Two upright pen channels and a front pocket for sticky notes or a phone.

  • A rounded-oval tray about 19 × 11 cm with a ribbed wall: one place for keys, earbuds and a watch at the end of the day.

  • A ribbed table lamp about 20 cm tall that gives the desk a warm, soft light for evening work.

  • A small table lamp, about 24 cm tall, for a desk that's also a bedside table.

  • A small planter about 6.6 cm across, with a 5.4 cm opening for one succulent.

  • Six key hooks under a shelf about 9 cm deep, for the door you leave by each morning. Wall screws not included.
