Our desk is where most of us will spend much of our lives. It can feel humdrum and like it’s just a place to get work done and leave, but why not make the hours of our lives there more beautiful and inviting by making it a place of loveliness and life, to inspire even greater thoughts and more excellent work?

So in the tradition of great writers, thinkers, and minds throughout history, we’ve gathered a list of ten items to make your desk and aesthetic and practical place of life and inspiration.

01 | A “marble” bust.

To give your desk a touch of elegance and inspire deep thoughts, there’s no better item than this beautiful bust.

02 | A vintage pen holder.

If one must keep a collection of pens to jot down notes with, one might as well stash them in a lovely jar.

03 | A rosewood pen.

For you to put in that beautiful pen jar of yours — and because sometimes, boring pens just won’t do.

04 | A personalized stationery set.

You’ve been using post-its and torn papers from your notebook for far too long. Step up your note game with some fun personalized stationery.

05 | A collection of flower vases.

Every space can be made that much more lifegiving with a fresh bouquet — and the same is true of your desk.

06 | A fancy candle.

You can never have enough candles burning. And when it comes in such a gorgeous jar, how can you say no?

07 | A leather desk organizer.
