Desk Setup Ideas: Cleaner Cables and Better Lighting

A better desk setup is usually about small changes: fewer visible cables, better light and a more comfortable position. Here are practical upgrades.

Get cables off the desk

An under-desk tray holds a power strip out of sight, a cable spine runs wires down to the floor, and magnetic clips keep charging cables at the desk edge. See the Hideaway Under-Desk Power Strip Tray, the Spine Cable Management System and the Snap Magnetic Cable Clips.

Light the desk, not the screen

A monitor light bar lights the desk without reflecting on the display. See the Clarity Monitor Light Bar.

Raise your laptop

A stand lifts the screen closer to eye level, which is more comfortable for long sessions. See the Lift Aluminium Laptop Stand.

Add a desk mat

A felt mat protects the desk and softens keyboard noise. See the Calm Wool Felt Desk Mat.

Charge without cables

A wireless charging pad keeps one cable fixed in place. See the Disc Wireless Charging Pad. Check that your phone supports wireless charging.
