7 Ways to Add Kawaii Vibes to Your Desk or Workspace

Looking to add some cuteness to your daily grind? Whether you're studying, crafting, or working from home, here are 7 easy ways to make your desk feel delightfully kawaii~

  1. Plushie Buddies
    Add some mini plush (like my Baby Ditto, Baby Totoro, or Shliitake Mushroom!) to your desk for company. A big, squishy plush would be perfect for your desk chair, too!

  2. Pastel Stationery
    Use colorful pens, notepads, and stickers to brighten your notes and plans.

  3. Mini Shelf & Wall Displays
    Organize trinkets, enamel pins, miniature plush, and keychains on small, pastel shelves, cute pin banners, and tiered risers. A pastel, wall-mounted Curio cabinet would also be super cute to display all of your collectibles!

  4. Kawaii Desk Mat
    A soft desk mat is both cute and functional! Keep your wrists nice and comfy :) There are many artists now who print their artwork on desk mats, so I highly recommend searching around for one. My friend, Star Whisp, also has some super cute desk mat designs!

  5. Reusable Sticker Books
    Keep your favorite stickers handy in cute sticker books (like my StickerDex!) so you can flip through them whenever you need a pick-me-up ;)

  6. Cute Mugs + Snacks
    Sip from an adorable mug and keep packaged snacks and candy in cute dishes.

  7. Mood Lighting
    Fairy lights throughout your space and small LED lamps in the shape of a character, star, heart, or cloud add a cozy glow.

As an example, I really love the way KawaiiArtCafe is setting up her space! She made several vlogs of the process, so if you’re just getting started with a kawaii office transformation I highly recommend checking them out to give you some more ideas. Here is a shot from her “Studio Vlog 30” video:
