Everyone who has ever worked from home has walked by their desk one day to find that there are some scratches and coffee stains that were definitely not there the day before. Sometimes, when you get into a hyper-focused zone, you don’t notice that you spilled your coffee just a little bit and now you have a brown coffee ring on your desk. As for the small scratches and dents, we can’t even trace the origins of those. If you get frustrated by those little dings and imperfections, you should check out desk pads and protectors.
Desk protectors might sound like boring black mouse pad sheets that go over your desk. Sometimes they are, but we found some cute desk protectors for you. These stylish protectors have clever or cute illustrations and come in a variety of colors. One of the options we found is bound to suit your style. You won’t have to go with a black desk protector, unless you want to. All of the options add a thin layer between you, the mess-maker, and your wooden or glass desk. Two of our protector picks are completely water-proof and heat-resistant. One option is reversible, so you can switch up your desk decor on a whim.
