There are those who want it essential, those who dream of it cosy, those who imagine it as an oasis of calm. The desk today is much more than a work surface: it is the heart of a space that accompanies us every day, between ideas, projects and moments of rest.
And just as every detail speaks of us, the choice of materials, textures and colours can transform the workstation into a place where we feel good - and perform at our best.
So here are some ideas on how to find the right combinations to furnish with style and personality, starting with the elements we know best: Eglooh desk accessories!
Textures that inspire, materials that speak
The new frontier of interior design runs through surfaces: what we touch every day contributes to a more fulfilling working experience. In this scenario, natural textures and fine materials take centre stage.
Woven leather is one of the most popular workmanships for those seeking elegance and originality. Mida and Giove by Eglooh are examples of this: hand and coaster pads with woven details give depth and character, transforming every desk into a sophisticated and unique space.
In addition to the visual effect, these surfaces offer an immersive tactile experience, thanks to the three-dimensional relief of the workmanship. Materials such as bonded or real leather also stand out for their durability and environmental friendliness, while maintaining their aesthetic and craftsmanship value.
Iconic accessories include the Calliope leather desk pad, with its stitched edge and essential lines, and the Palladio desk pad, with its sober and versatile design, perfect for minimalist or professional contexts.
Colours and palette: personality, comfort and style
After the bright tones of past years, with 2025 we are moving on to softer, more sophisticated nuances. Colours that soothe, but which also know how to amaze. And that integrate easily with natural materials such as leather, hide, wood.
- Mocha Mousse: the Pantone colour of 2025 is a soft and enveloping brown, ideal for those who like warm and cosy atmospheres.
- Dark Green and Sage Green: discreet but never banal, they evoke nature and relaxation. Perfect with matt or woven finishes.
- Dove grey and smoke grey: versatile and modern, they work well as a neutral base or combined with metallic details.
- Sky blue and powder blue: cool and relaxing, they reduce visual stress and lighten the space.
- Bright yellow: a small dose of creative energy, perfect for brightening up the most sober corners.
- Pastel colours: lavender, light coral, peach. Soft but full of character, they look great on matt or natural surfaces.
We can imagine the way these colours can blend with the shapes of desk accessories. The Armonia desk pad, for example, can lend itself to soft shades and pastel finishes, while the Atlante desk pad, with its rounded edge and flowing style, is ideal for modern, minimalist desks with a touch of dark green.
From theory to desk: matching textures and colours with personality
So then, how can we design a space that is truly our own, playing with material feels, textures and colour shades? Here are some useful tips.
- Choose a neutral base: light desk or natural wood? Start there and build around it.
- Play with textures: a smooth leather desk pad, a woven pen holder, a regenerated leather coaster. The mix & match effect is refined and modern.
- Add some coloured details: you don't have to revolutionise everything. Sometimes a handkerchief holder in olive green or a card holder in light blue is enough to change the tone of the room.
- Enhance functionality: beauty yes, but also order. Eglooh matching sets are designed to combine aesthetics and practicality, every day.
- Let the material speak for itself: choose handcrafted finishes, visible seams, precise cuts. Details count. Always.
Every desk tells a story. With the right accessories, it can become a space that truly represents you - functional, elegant, personal. By choosing natural textures, trendy colours and fine materials, you shape an environment that stimulates concentration, well-being and, why not, even creativity.
