Minimal is the theme that’s hardest to photograph well and easiest to live with. There’s no accent color doing the work, so the whole look comes down to whether every piece is actually the same shade of white rather than four slightly different ones. Buy from as few manufacturers as you can (matching a keyboard and mouse from the same brand, like the pair here, is the easiest shortcut) and let one light source, not RGB, do the ambient lighting.
These picks are chosen based on their specs and color: this is the combination we’d expect to look good together. Treat it as a starting point for your own setup.
Redragon K723 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard (White, Creamy Switch)
RGB backlighting is there if you want it, but the point of this pick is that it looks just as clean with the lights off. White keycaps on a white shell instead of white keycaps on black, which is the detail most 'minimal' keyboards get wrong.

Same brand as the keyboard, which keeps the white tone consistent instead of guessing whether two manufacturers' whites will match.
Check price at AmazonOvenbird Minimalist Topographic Desk Mat, XL
Thin contour lines instead of a flat blank mat, which keeps it from reading as unfinished. Enough texture to notice, not enough to compete with anything else on the desk.
Check price at AmazonQuntis Monitor Light Bar, White
A bias light instead of an RGB strip, which is really the entire theme in one product decision. Glare-free and dimmable, so it functions as actual desk lighting rather than an accent.
Check price at AmazonRazer Barracuda X Wireless Headset (White)
A recognizable brand at a fair price, which matters more here than on the other picks since a plain white headset lives or dies on build quality rather than a print or colorway carrying it.
Check price at AmazonEMERIT 4-Tier Adjustable Desk Organizer, White
The most purely functional item on this list. A minimal desk still generates paper and cables, and having somewhere for it to go that isn't the desk mat is what actually keeps the look clean day to day.
