I love seeing the offices of design mavens because they inevitably have some fabulous desktop wallpaper on the screen for the photo op, always something that complements the rest of the design of the office.
Case in point:
Making it Lovely's Nicole shared her office recently, and my eye gravitated immediately to her Mac and the art on her desktop, the colors of which coordinate with the dominant pinks and reds of her office space.
I too enjoy a pretty, serene wallpaper as the setting for the madness that takes place on top of it; right now I can't seem to shake the
Kaiku Marimekko pattern.

I love to customize! From getting my
BlackBerry engraved at the TechCrunch/Popsugar shindig in LA, to downloading
some pretty wild wallpaper to bring out my inner animal and make me feel at home while I'm at the office. I do all I can to show my personality and prevent desktop boredom, even when it comes to my gadgets, which is why I switch it up and get down with cool (and free!) desktop icons through
Iconfactory.

Accessory makers are churning out plushies — small stuffed animals or characters — so fast that even the most serious fanatic can't keep up. While I don't see any purpose in collecting regular plushies, I have fallen for the cell phone holders, which make fun desktop accessories.
I'm currently in love with the
Plushie cell phone holder by Bale Living.

If you haven't guessed it already, I'm a huge
National Geographic fan. I've already discussed how you can download the free
National Geographic POD that will update your background with a new National Geographic image each day. Well National Geographic has just added more stunning high resolution
photography wallpapers to their collection.
