Hey everyone, I want this to be a very casual conversation. I'm looking to set up my personal workspace this month and will love to see pictures of your workspaces for inspiration.

I've been waiting for another one of these for a while! I'm slowly updating my setup, and I really love working from it.
My Desk in the Ikea Bekant with a danish-oil finished beech tabletop (also from Ikea). I love it as it works almost perfectly (sometime the lifting function can be a little jerky), and I don't really see a use for preset heights as I change mine a lot.
My recommendation would be to get a desk plant or two, and having some art or pictures on the wall in order to make you feel comfortable and happy!
Lovely set up. ❤️ Yes, I agree with the wall art and plant idea that is something I already have on my list to get.
What kind of light strip do you have behind the monitor?
Thanks so much! I'm really happy with it, I'm just trying to figure out what to hang in the middle of the wall as it looks a bit sparse.
They're the cheapest ones Amazon has on offer :) I believe they're this one. I got them off a friend so I don't know exactly.
Make sure you post your final setup on here when you're done, it'll be great to see how it ends up :)
Cool! I'll definitely post mine when I'm done setting up
The plant is genius, such a nice little touch. I'm inspired!
Thanks! That’s kind of you! On my headphones stand there’s also a little bottle terranium which is another attempt to get some life at my desk :)
This might be my favorite so far just because of how clean it is
Thank you so much!
After watching so many cool setups... this one still standouts because of how clean this looks. I would also aim to make my setup like this in the future, currently a single laptop user.
Thanks! Be sure to share it when you do!
Great setup.
Why don't you get a displate.com ? They're great and I'm pretty sure you'll find something you'll love
Those are rad! I’d never heard of them before. Thanks for the recommendation:)
I kinda dig this setup. Looks minimal and straight to the point. By the way, where did you get that stand from and what brand is it?
Cheers! Yeah I don’t really like having too much on my desk, it’s easy to get dusty that way.
The headphone stand is from Ikea, I don’t actually know what it’s called but it was about $8 if I recall. Is that what you’re after?
This is my work setup:
Dual 27" Dell Ultrasharp monitors in portrait and one Dell 24" in landscape.
And this is my home setup:
Nice 🔥They both look awesome.
Nice!
This is awesome 🔥
Thanks!
So clean and tidy. And I loved the arrangement of the screens in both pictures
Where did you get the shelving unit under your monitors?
Ikea Alex 202.607.18. And the desk is a Ikea Malm 602.141.59.
I used to have a huge desk, but I’m quite happy with this setup. I don't work a lot from home anymore, and I wanted a more family-room feeling with the option of working when needed.
The photo is taken from a small IKEA sofa that doubles as a guest-bed.
looks awesome! love how the keys are right there next to the other keys.
⌨️➕🎹= 👍
Love the duck :D
Nice space!
I love this still! And the shelves on top 😍😍😍
Cool monitor!
Oh I love this question so much! I just started working from home part time and I love my setup!
I have an Autonomous standing desk, with a 32in Dell monitor. Along with some Behringer studio monitors. Still working on the chord mess but I love it!!!
Awesome!! We all have that chord mess at some point.
Quite curious, are you left handed? :)
Interesting question. I am not. Why do you ask?
I know I'm not alone with this kind of setup. I'm right-handed and this is how I position my stuff. Laptop on the left and monitor on the right 😄
How much were those Behringers? Are you using a custom DAC?
They are 180 a piece if you get them brand new. I need to go smaller but they are good.
And I user a Focusrite Scarlet 2I2 interface for my audio interface. I run my mic through that as well as my Axe FX II for instruments.
How do you like the Autonomous Desk? I’ve been going back and forth about getting one.
Do it! I have one at work and at home. They are wonderful and quiet. I have the business class one at home and the consumer one at work. Backwards I know. If I were to buy new I would spend the extra and get the business one. There is nothing wrong with the consumer one but the business one has two motors and is a lot quieter, easier to set up, and can move a lot of weight. Plus if you are tall, unlike me, the business one goes insanely high.
I work from home and have a single 43” 4K LG monitor to go along with this desk situation.
Very nice, how do you like the glass desktop? I'm on the fence about getting one on my next desk. I love the look, but I worry about mouse 'quirks' and the sound of my coffee mug clanking after every sip of magic bean juice.
Looks nice. Love the lamp and the octocat thing you have on your desk.
Thanks! Yeah I’m pretty happy with the setup. Because the screen is quite big I have it on a smaller pedestal behind the desk.l and not directly in the desk.
I'm assuming a 43" tv monitor? How do you find working on that compared to computer monitors?
Actually it's this monitor:
lg.com/us/monitors/lg-43UD79-B-4k-...
The difference between a TV and a monitor is pretty minimal if you actually dive into it. But it does have features that probably make more sense for a monitor than TV, so it's nice that way. It costs a bit more than a comparable TV would be but not by a huge amount.
Either way, the key to having a big monitor is that it needs to be 4k. 1080 HD TV just isn't crisp enough for reading and general monitor stuff.
This my home workstation, which isn't quite finished, because I need some additional shelves for my Funko Pop! figures, speakers, turntable, and albums. Some artwork on the walls is also in the works! I work in software development, web development, and just general goofing off. :)
Even got a coaster for the Mountain Dew to top it off, love it!
You know it! The coaster is in the shape of a record, so it goes along with the general theme! I’m so addicted to Mountain Dew...
That's pretty cool, yeah I love Mountain Dew, although the stuff we get in the UK doesn't even nearly compare to how good it is in America. It'd probably cost an arm and a leg if it did due to sugar taxes haha
Thanks for listing it! Highly appreciated it.
I work from home and recently moved my office from the box room to the extension for more space and natural light (it has a glass roof). I decided to do an IKEA hack to build a desk big enough for 2 people so my wife could use the space too.
Here’s my half. I have a 28” 4K screen and a 24” HD screen on monitor arms and my laptop (13”) on a stand to bring the height up:
And from another angle where you can see the full desk. My wife uses a 28” 4K screen and her laptop (13”):
.
I built it using 3 x Alex drawers from IKEA and attached a kitchen worktop to it. I love working from here now.
I really like this setup + those sweet keys!
Wow looks nice. ❤️
Been trying to get these Alex drawers over but I can't get IKEA over here might make a custom made one.
I've worked from home for ~5 years now and have pretty well finally gotten my office set up the way I like:
and I also have a standing/treadmill desk:
A lot of people shared their setups here, too!
What's your desk setup?
Desi ・ Mar 15 '19 ・ 1 min read
Woot! Bass + 🎸
Heck yeah! The best stringed instrument!
Wow!! I love both setups ❤️
Thanks I'll check out the post.
At work just a single iMac - 5K retina flavor on my sit/stand desk.
At home I have a 2018 13" MBP.
I do IT, iOS and web development and these work great for that!
Headphones: Sony WH-1000XM3
Keyboard: Apple Magic Keyboard (in black)
Mouse: Logitech M500 (gotta love that inertial scrolling)
Microphone: Shure MV5 (we have voip phones, works great for 1 or 10 people)
Qi Charger: Something from the Apple Store (I can't find any good markings on it)
Which Sony headphones are those, and how do you like them?
Headphones: Sony WH-1000XM3
Love them.
Nice desk & setup. May I ask what is the brand of the fan on the left?
Is it good?
Vornado. I got it on Amazon. It's fine - it only has two speed settings and the low one is quite fast, so I never turn it on high. It doesn't oscillate, if you need that, it only pivots up and down.
I have the same Vornado fan! Although I did get mine at Target.
I use my desk for working and streaming on Twitch.
Love it. ❤️ What your twitch channel I'll love to check it out.

From the next week, I will start to stream regularly, again.
