This is the most underrated accessory for your desk — and it’s super cheap

There are a ton of different ways you can easily customize a desk to make it your own. While you can add fake plants to liven up your space or even a reed diffuser to make your home office smell great, I prefer to only have electronics on my desk. For instance, I added a monitor stand to my desk for better ergonomics, put a smart display under my monitor to help improve my productivity and I’ve even built a DIY macro pad to make it easier to adjust the volume on my PC.

Of all the accessories I’ve added to the best standing desks over the years though, my favorite would have to be a desk mat. Not only are desk mats easy to clean but they can even help add a bit of personality to your desk. They’re also very inexpensive and can give your desk a more organized look.
