Some have rounded corners, and others feature a clean-lined aesthetic. At OfficeStationery we have a great selection of Desk Mats that are great for keeping your desk looking organised and stylish. We have these available in a range of styles, colours and materials which can add a surface to help protect your desk from scratches and marks. Desk mats also provide a pad of non-slip which can keep your papers from sliding around and getting jumbled or lost.

Most are relatively simple-looking, as they're generally not considered decorative. However, a high-end design like the Leatherology Classic Leather Desk Pad can certainly enhance the overall look of your workspace. "A treated leather that is water-resistant is my favorite, but there are also tons of synthetic and recycled materials that provide a great surface," says Blakey. Desk mats can be made of various materials. The most popular include genuine leather, vegan leather, cork, plastic, felt, and various textiles, such as polyester or microfiber. Overall, we like the Orbitkey Desk Mat on account of its water-repellent design, magnetic cable organizer, and clever document hideaway. But if you prefer genuine leather, we recommend the handmade MarroneLeather Personalized Desk Mat. And if you're on a budget, go with the naturally antimicrobial Ikea Susig Desk Pad. What to Look for in a Desk Mat Material When browsing options, consider what size you need. This should go without saying, but larger desks will generally require larger mats, and smaller workstations will need smaller ones. But most importantly, it should fit what you plan to place on top, such as a keyboard, mouse, charging station, or even a desktop monitor.
