Simplicity and minimalism are always welcome design terms. To keep things at a bare minimum but still achieve aestheticism is a skill. We’ve always admired minimalist desk spaces, but adding a pop of color adds a bit more personality to a desk setup. Here are our top ten favorite minimalist desk spaces with colorful character.
Sometimes a can of colored pencils or even a colorful desktop wallpaper can make a big difference in a neutral desk space.

Lmao....exactly what I was thinking.
There's very little colour in the majority of these offices - it's the desktop wallpaper that gives the colour. When I accessed this article, I was thinking the pop of colour would be part of the decor, furniture or physical computers.
And minimalist doesn't have to mean white or Apple.
Apple: the preferred conformity of people who refer to themselves as nonconformists
Apple: the preferred static aesthetic of people who refer to themselves as aesthetically creative
Yup, apple all the way, I wish I could find out about the different docking stations in the pics for the macbook, I'm in the market for one.
I am an apple and pc user and honestly do prefer the asthetics & appearance of apple, it just looks nicer in a home office.
Not every office that she featured is an Apple one...
Almost all of her picks are from Flickr so if we want to see more well designed home offices featuring Windows machines, perhaps there needs to be more on Flickr, no? I am guessing based on my own Flickr searches that this roundup is pretty representative of the well designed minimalist home office pool on Flickr.
Where's the pop of colour? So you're saying the moment these computers go to sleep or get shut down that the room reverts to monochromatic minimalism?
My set-up is similar to these but my actually has pops of color.
FYI - that fabulous flipping number clock screen saver gave my LCD monitor ghosting/burn in. Delete.
