7 Best minimalist Desk Setups

7 Best Minimalist Desk Setups for Your Workspace


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 setups from James and Stephaen.

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.

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 the whole home office.

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?

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!

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 simple Bose speakers, one of the best desk pads on the market, and minimal cord usage. The MacBook Pro and ultrawide monitor combo seems like the way to go if you’re looking to keep the clutter low.

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 MacBook accessories seems like it creates a perfect productive environment.
