My favourite part of this workspace is what you don’t see at first

From the front, this is basically the clean workspace I wanted: monitor, speakers, a large solid oak surface and not too much clutter.

But underneath it is a Kawai VPC1.

It’s a full 88-key weighted piano controller weighing around 29.5 kg / 65 lbs, and I use the same space for both normal computer work and music production.

That was the main reason I chose this ErgoHide configuration. The keyboard sits on a pull-out tray, so I can completely change the function of the desk in a few seconds.

Keyboard out = studio.

Keyboard away = regular workspace.

The desk itself is electrically height-adjustable as well, so it can move between sitting and standing positions depending on what I’m doing.

The thing I probably notice most visually is the solid oak desktop. Combined with the ambient lighting built into the rear of the desk, it makes the setup feel a lot warmer at night.

There’s also a hidden cable-management system underneath, which is very welcome when your workspace contains a computer, monitor, audio equipment, speakers and a piano. The magnetic headphone hangers on the sides are another small detail I’ve ended up using constantly.

Still deciding whether I should keep it this clean or slowly ruin it by adding more gear.

Need L-shaped desk recommendations

Really wanna find me a nice sturdy l shaped desk that also has some storage like shelves. My pc would go in the corner but I also need the desk to be able to go into a right corner. All the ones I’ve seen are either not long enough for my liking, have a power outlet in the corner, or have shelving that my pc can’t fit under. (The height is 18.8inches). Could I get some ideas or recommendations 😭 I don’t wanna break the bank too bad

my chill study setup

I work in accounting and studying my professional qualification.

Made the desk myself out of some acacia hardwood and stained with gilly’s orange oil. Might convert to a sit stand eventually.

I spend a good part of my life at this desk so any recommendations are appreciated :)

setup looks underwhelming. Need tips

I’m just a med student who doesn’t even game often but just love the aesthetic of a good setup that keeps me loving my workspace. But this setup just looks too underwhelming and out of place and is triggering my non existing OCD. How do i fix it?

ps- looking to upgrade to a white acer nitro ultrawide monitor in a month or two, and use this monitor vertically alongside. Also maybe getting a bigger desk! Do i get a brown or a white desk?

What can I add to the corners of my desk? Feels empty

Was thinking speakers ?? Looking for wooden speakers if you guys think that’ll work.

I also have a 3 rd monitor and stand I could addd but idk, my desk is small and this the biggest I can go with it rn as I have a bookshelf next to it which i need.

But any other ideas are much appreciated, I don’t think I need anymore lighting lol.

Also feel free to recommend just anything else you think I can add in general.

Thanks!

Standing desk incorporated in normal desk

I am working my desk / home office setup with some renders.

I want to incorperate a standing desk into the normal desk, I am wondering if anyone has ever done it?

This is the first renders I have made. You can see the white outline where the standing desk should be, designer forgot the legs and the dimensions are somewhat wrong.

My work desk now looks complete :)

I didn’t buy a new desk…

I bought myself a reason to enjoy working again.

I spend almost 10 hours a day at my desk, so I decided it was finally time for an upgrade.

The centrepiece is the AeroPlus Adjustable Desk.

Switching between sitting and standing already makes long workdays feel better.

Then came the little upgrades: a double-head LED lamp for better lighting, an extension board with USB ports, and finally…proper cable management.

Honestly, a clean desk just feels different.

I also added a docking station, a laptop stand, a phone stand, a rotating organizer, a valet tray, beautiful mandala coasters, and of course…little astronauts because every workspace deserves a bit of personality.

It’s funny how changing your workspace can change your mindset.

What’s the one desk accessory you can’t work without?

Spent the last few months refining my setup.

I posted this room here a while ago and got a lot of feedback. A lot of it was genuinely helpful.

Over the last few months, I changed the layout, simplified the setup, and tried to make everything feel more intentional. I removed the TV at the end of the bed, cleaned up the desk, and gave the room a bit more breathing space.

It's still a work in progress because I don't think a setup is ever truly finished, but I'm really happy with where it's at now.

A compact mini PC desk setup

been experimenting with smaller desk setups lately and this was one of my older setups using a mini pc (GEEKOM A6 in pic). I added a magnetic light below that's why it's glowing underneath lol. Mostly used this setup for video editing, and light gaming.

I’ve changed my setup quite a bit since then, but i still like how simple this one was. Any recommendations on what you’d change or add to make a compact setup like this better?

Suggestions? Attic Setup: How to upgrade my background for video recording / client calls?

Hey everyone,

Looking for feedback on how to make my background (the wall + whiteboard behind the chair) look cleaner and more professional on camera. I mainly record educational/sales content and client calls here.

Current ideas:

  • Add tall plants (e.g., Fiddle Leaf Fig or Strelitzia) in the corner under the sloped ceiling.
  • Add warm ambient/practical lighting.

What else would you change or add to make the background and overall setup look more cohesive and aesthetic?

(Cable management under the desk is already on my to-do list!)

My 100th Model: A Sliding Monitor Headphone Stand

Hello everyone, Blaerov here!

Today I’m sharing a special project: my 100th model

I wanted a practical way to keep my headphones close without taking up desk space, so I designed this sliding headphone stand that mounts behind the monitor using the VESA mounting area.

The arm extends when you need your headphones and slides back behind the screen when not in use. It also has multiple extension positions and a wide curved cradle that supports the headband comfortably.

Key features:

- Keeps the desk clear

- Sliding and retractable design

- Multiple extension positions

- No supports required

- No glue required

- PETG recommended

- Designed for one headset

Make sure to check your monitor’s VESA clearance and screw length before installation.

This project represents a big milestone for me, and I would love to hear your feedback!

Finally finished cleaning up my desk after months of putting it off

This corner used to be a mess, cables everywhere and barely any legroom. Had a free weekend so finally sat down and redid the whole thing.

Switched to a desk shape I have wanted for a while, added a small wall shelf so the plants and little stuff stop eating up desk space. Mounted the webcam right above the monitor instead of leaving it on the desk, makes calls way less awkward on the neck.

Tucked a small file cabinet underneath the desk too, frees up a good chunk of floor space.

Chair wise, just switched to the Hbada X7 a few days ago, too early to say much yet, giving it more time before I can really speak to how it holds up long term.

Anyone else redoing their setup, where would you even start first.
