The easiest way to pull off a themed setup isn’t to buy everything at once. It’s to get one anchor piece right (usually the keyboard, since it takes up the most visual space) and build outward from there. Contrast matters more than matching: a sand-toned mouse next to a wave-blue keyboard reads as intentional in a way that two identical shades of blue doesn’t.
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.
GravaStar Mercury K1 75% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard (Ice Blue)
The ice-blue colorway is about as close to 'wave' as a keyboard gets off the shelf, and the gasket-mount build is the kind of detail that shows up a lot in enthusiast keyboard recommendations. A solid anchor piece to build the rest of the desk around.

Logitech's sand colorway pairs naturally with a blue keyboard without trying to match it exactly, which is really the whole trick to a themed desk that doesn't look try-hard.

An actual wave print instead of a plain color block. This one leans more literal than the rest of the setup, which works well as the single obviously-themed piece on the desk.
Check price at AmazonQuntis Monitor Light Bar Pro (White)
A cool-white bias light instead of the warm-yellow most light bars default to, which keeps the color temperature closer to the rest of the setup instead of fighting it.

A small, inexpensive way to add a blue glow along the back of the desk without committing to a full RGB ecosystem. Plug and play over USB.

Actual woven seagrass rather than a plastic imitation. The texture alone does a lot of the 'coastal' visual work, and the compartments keep cable clutter out of sight.

Logitech's mint colorway reads closer to seafoam than teal, but it fits the coastal palette without being an exact match to anything else on the desk, which is again the point.
