If you are a working professional like me, the place you spend most of your time would be your office desk. After your bed that is. If you are a student, it would be your study table. In both cases, since we spend so much time there, it only makes sense that we’d want to decorate it. Add stuff that inspires us, makes us smile and is pretty to look at. But most importantly, it should be functional and keep the space clutter-free.
So, I found 15 items that are just that. Check them out.

Elephant shaped mobile holder + pen stand
This wooden elephant is not only cute but also quite useful. You can keep your phone, pens and pencils in it for easy access.

2. Perpetual motion Asteroid
Perfect for Physics nerds. This kinetic asteroid is educational as well as entertaining. The perpetual motion is considered very soothing and can distract you from work-stress.

3. Newton’s Cradle Pendulum
Another office accessory for the Science geeks. It works on magnetic energy and Newton’s laws of Physics. Creative professionals who might get stuck in a rut or experience writer’s block can recharge their brain cells with a bit of fun with this one.

4. Succulents
A surefire way to breathe in some life to a dull desk is greenery. Succulents are a great option for live plants because they require watering only once a week. Their fleshy leaves retain moisture for long periods of time.

Aren’t these the cutest? They can hold visiting cards, memos and even family pictures.
