Nothing is more satisfying on the eye than seeing a clean minimalist Desk setup. I’ve enjoyed looking at minimal desks so much that I’ve actually created essentially a fan account called @desktour on Instagram that showcases the best desk setups that I’ve come across. Yes it is pretty weird that i started this account, but about 10k people follow along for these *almost* daily updates, so it helps that I’m not the only one obsessed…

Anyways… upon going through thousands of submissions for almost a full year now, I’ve seen the best, the worst, and the most minimal desks across the internet. I’ve created a list of some of the best ones and showcase the minimalist desks that have been engaged with the most on @desktour. Along with the desk setups, I’ve included and linked some of the minimalist desks below to help you decide the right table for your needs!

1. The Minimalist IKEA Desk Setup

From all of the photos I’ve seen of minimal desk setups, the IKEA table top and table leg combo is by far the most popular. Both affordable and comes in a variety of different colors and styles, IKEA has made it a no brainer for desk junkies to choose this minimalist desk. Here are two of my favorite from James and Stephaen.

• Table Top: IKEA
• Table Legs: IKEA
• Office Chair: Cult Furniture
• Desk Mat: Ultralinx
• Adjustable Stand Under iMac: Twelve South HiRise
• Lamp: Made.com
• Plant: Local Store
• Notebook: Dotgridbook
• Computer: iMac 5K 27 inch

2. The Aesthetic Ultrawide Monitor Workspace

Alex is a developer from Romania and his desk setups are perfect. The balance between aesthetic perfection and functionality. Using the IKEA setup we mentioned earlier, he replaces one of the sides with a table drawer. Instead of a monitor holder, he uses a minimal drawer to hold up the ultrawide LG monitor. Alex’s setup is the right combination between the IKEA setup and the minimal ultrawide setup.

• Ultrawide Monitor: LG 38 inch Curved Model 38WK95C
• Drawer Table Legs: IKEA ALEX
• Table top: IKEA Gerton
• Other Table leg: IKEA Finnvard
• Chair: JYSK Klarup White
• Cup Holder: IKEA 365+
• Desk Accessory: Pyramid and Plant from JYSK
• Laptop: LG Gram 15 inch Laptop 2018

3. The Night Owl Workspace Desk Setup

This is another favorite desk setup of mine. Different from the other ones because it looks like the perfect night owl setup. I’m personally more productive at night and I love the addition of the neon lights here which add such a cool vibe to whole home office.

• Speakers: Audioengine A2+
• Neon Lights: Urban Outfitters
• Shelves: IKEA
• Monitor: Dell 27 inch 4k Monitor
• Black Studio Lights: HEKTAR IKEA
• Monitor arm: VIVO
• Desk Mat: Satechi
• Mouse: MX Master from Logitech

4. The Designer’s Minimalist Desk Setup

I loved this minimal desk setup from Marcelo because of how designer like it was. I’m no professional designer, but it seems like such a perfect setup for a designer. The use of brown to compliment the white setup and the minimal desk accessories is very nice. Are you really a designer without design templates on your screen and design sketches on your desk?

• Office Chair: West Elm

5. Minimalist Desk With a Window View

The third desk setup I chose is one with a nice large window and luckily a beautiful view. The glass desk makes it perfect for the glass window view and I love the use of space. Books, laptop, and other desk accessories are stored under the glass table top and all of the essentials are placed where they need to be on top of the desk. The symmetry of the desk aligned with the window is also a nice touch!

• Speakers: Bowers & Wilkins
• Desk: John Lewis

6. The Minimal Ultrawide Monitor Workspace

The ultrawide monitor workspace has to be one of the minimalistic desk setups and personally my favorite. Gabriele does it just right by keeping the desk simple with two Bose speakers, a large desk mat, and minimal cord usage. Macbook pro + ultrawide monitor seems like the way to go if you’re looking to keep the clutter low.

• Desk Mat: IKEA
• Wallpaper: Unsplash

7. The Photographer Apple Desk Setup

The moment I see a Lacie Rugged Hard Drive, I just think photographer or videographer.  This desk setup looks like the content creators workspace. The minimal all white with black monitor and accessories seems like it creates a perfect productive environment.

• Hard Drive: Lacie Tech
• Desk Mat: Amazon
