Starting my desk setup and not sure on what to add or how to improve? More flowers? Change the wall color or add things on the wall ? I am really new to this and I like all the setups on this sub so appreciate every little help :)

Anything to add or remove to make work addicting? Suggest anything except for cable management as I am working on it!

I have a dual-monitor configuration, featuring wallpapers of two characters from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Below the monitors sits my iPad mini, which I use for drawing.

In the top-left corner, I keep my Nintendo Switch and a spare phone, resting on top of the subwoofer. You can also see a fountain pen and ink on the desk; I truly enjoy the tactile feel of handwriting. On the wall, I have displayed my own calligraphy (with the exception of the printed sheet on the far right),featuring words to encourage myself to work diligently.

In the center is a custom mechanical keyboard I assembled, paired with a walnut wrist rest. The small black box charging nearby is a Hi-Fi digital audio player. Sometimes, I prefer using this vintage-style device to listen to music rather than using streaming services.

The cup on the right side was a gift from my wife—it’s a titanium mug featuring a Van Gogh painting.

Please forgive the messy cables in the bottom right corner; because I dislike fan noise, I keep my PC tower in the next room and ran the cables through a hole in the wall.

Oh, and on the far right of the scene, leaning against the wall, is a blade. It is a replica modeled after the style of the Tang Dynasty from ancient China.

Thank you for taking the time to look!

got a new Ikea desk hack for my new gaming room, I bought a solid wood worktop from my local wood shop. It is 200 cm long, 80 cm wide and has a thickness of 26mm, has two alex dressers from ikea on each edge and mounted 2 legs on the back of the desk about 15 cm in from the back edge, there is about 40 cm between each leg and the alex dressers. I am afraid that over time the worktop will bend, should I put another leg in the middle of the
entire worktop or is this enough? I have put up the plate for an extra leg but my carpet makes the 3rd leg higher up than all the others which leads to the table being unstable. What do you think? should I make a hole in the carpet where the last leg should be for maximum safety? xD xD or should I put a metal plate that I attach to the entire length of the board? Or maybe they are enough as they are?
Please help.. <3

Currently just using the thinkpad and benq monitor screen only, STEM Student.

I used to have a flat monitor and never really thought about desk depth. Swapped to a curved one a few weeks ago and it's way more comfortable, but it sits a lot deeper than I expected. This desk has a good amount of depth, so the screen isn't right up in my face. If the surface wasn't deep enough, I'd be sitting way too close and probably regretting the whole thing.

i love anime merch but i hate dust more.

figures collect dust. cards turn into clutter. acrylic stands somehow multiply when you're not looking.

so lately i've been keeping most of the obsession on screens instead.

the monitor gets the main art, the tablet gets the sketchy stuff, and the tiny side display gets whatever character i'm currently fixating on.

now the desk still looks clean, but every screen is quietly enabling the same problem.

honestly this might be the only way i can keep a minimal setup without pretending i'm not into anime.

some of you probably get it.

I've been tweaking this setup for a while and I'm a bit conflicted.

Before this, I used to work from a small ~90cm desk tucked into a corner. It wasn't fancy, but it felt incredibly cozy and I could spend hours there. This custom L-shaped desk(180x60x75cm, L part-120x50x75cm) gives me a lot more space and looks much better aesthetically, but sometimes it feels too big and open.

Lately I've even started sitting on the extreme right side instead of the center, using the side monitor and PC almost like walls, just to recreate that cozy corner feeling I had before.

I'm debating whether to keep improving this setup or sell the desk and eventually move to a sit-stand desk. My biggest hesitation is that this desk is custom-made, very sturdy, and built from quality materials(ply wood), whereas most sit-stand desks in my budget seem to use particle board and may not last as long.

What would you do in my position?

• Keep and improve this setup?
• Modify the desk somehow?
• Sell it and move to a sit-stand desk?

Also, what feels missing here? Any suggestions to make it feel more cozy, personal, and fun to spend time at?

It is a large standing desk, with an L-shaped pull-out part. I tend to place it on one side of the room and left about 20 inches of space between the desk and the wall.

That gap actually changes how the space feels. I can move around the desk freely without squeezing past anything, and it just feels more open to me. But my wife thinks a piece this size should be pushed flat against the wall - she says it would make the whole room feel bigger and cleaner.

Am I being stubborn? Curious how would you guys position this larger desks. Would you leave it too?

My desk room is finally coming together.

This is a desk retired from a local steel- works plant. I have a PS2 as a stand for this dirt cheap, lethargic, Walmart monitor. A little shelf I mounted on the wall to elevate the second monitor. The desk is enormous. I hope your day is fantastic.

Can you guys suggest me, what can i do to upgrade the look of this setup?

I can either place the table as it is now or face towards the windows

I make travel content, so sit down talking head videos with lighting would be amazing.

What else do i fill there? I am pretty boring, i dont read books nor do substances & party. I am just extroverted & love anime, travel, collecting storiess.

Love vibrant yet pastel orange, blues, yellows as colours.

Developer guys please suggest me some desk gadgets to make it more productive 🫡🙂‍↔️
