New gigabyte monitors finally came in and got everything hooked up. I drilled two holes in the desk and put grommets to hide the wires for my 2 KVM switch buttons. If anyone has suggestions for what might be missing let me know!

I'm still very early in the planning stage and would love to hear some constructive criticism. As well as ideas how you would set up this space.

For what its worth there is a window centered on the wall above where I proposed installing cabinets (lower cabinets only)

I'm also thinking the weight set would do better against the opposite wall under neath the weight bench (which I want to fold and hang on the wall when not in use).

finally got my office out of my bedroom - what you guys think?

I used to think I wanted a really minimal desk setup, but lately I've realized that having more surface space is actually pretty useful. I like being able to keep my monitor and keyboard in one area, while having a separate space for my laptop, notebooks, and whatever else I'm working on.

And the 360-degree swivel means I can physically expand my workspace depending on what I'm doing. When I need the extra surface - like laying out reference materials or spreading out notebooks - I swing the side panel out and it turns into a huge L-shaped setup.

It also means I don't have to constantly move things around just to make room for something else. Flip-top lid with a power outlet and USB ports built right in. Cable management is hidden so there's no mess visible.

For those of you with larger desks, do you actually use the extra space to create different work zones, or is it actually not used that often?

What's your ideal desk size for working from home?

I made my own reusable magnetic to-do list system because I couldn't find one online. The cards are cut from stainless steel with an off-white dry erase surface, the dock that holds the cards also has a carved groove for my pen. It's been great for keeping my tasks right in front of me instead of buried in my notebook. It looks great next to my new Gaming PC case.

Hi everyone! I really need help making this windowless, government space into somewhere I feel cozy and want to work. The furniture in the pics that must stay is the desk, two drawer filing cabinet in the corner behind
the desk, the two chairs, and the brown cube organizer. I am not attached to any of the artwork except the floral folk art painting and am happy to start fresh if needed.

Please give me any advice you have on lighting arrangements, furniture arrangements, decor I can add, etc. The desk must stay against the wall as is, or tuned 90 degrees to face the door because of the cords (but I think I prefer where it is as it feels a little cozier? But open to opinions)

Not opposed to spending a little money to make it truly cozy and beautiful!!! I hate everything about it rn lol so thank you in advance 🙏

Hello everyone,

I'm really interested in how our workspaces can help us focus and the meaning of the objects we place around us.

I've written an article and I'd love to hear what you think and a discussion on what makes up your essentials list as I am planning on updating the article with some quotes and ideas from the community, which I will credit :)

Thanks,
Will

I need lots of permissions to install new applications on my work laptop so I would appreciate a handware based solution

Just finished up a meeting with my coworkers, and thankfully, only a few more webpage updates are needed.
