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 used to have a huge desk, but Iβm 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.
I love this still! And the shelves on top πππ
Nice space!
looks awesome! love how the keys are right there next to the other keys.

Love the duck :D
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.
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? Iβve 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.
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 π
I work from home and have a single 43β 4K LG monitor to go along with this desk situation.
Looks nice. Love the lamp and the octocat thing you have on your desk.
Thanks! Yeah Iβm 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.
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.
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.
Im liking the bench press!
Not the best picture to be honest, but you see everything I use regularly. ;)
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)
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.
Which Sony headphones are those, and how do you like them?
Headphones: Sony WH-1000XM3
Love them.
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 γ» Mar 15 '19 γ» 1 min read
Wow!! I love both setups β€οΈ
Thanks I'll check out the post.
Woot! Bass + πΈ
Heck yeah! The best stringed instrument!
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. β€οΈ 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
This might be my favorite so far just because of how clean it is
Thank you so much!
The plant is genius, such a nice little touch. I'm inspired!
Thanks! Thatβs kind of you! On my headphones stand thereβs also a little bottle terranium which is another attempt to get some life at my desk :)
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! Iβd 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 donβt really like having too much on my desk, itβs easy to get dusty that way.
The headphone stand is from Ikea, I donβt actually know what itβs called but it was about $8 if I recall. Is that what youβre after?
Great setup.
Nice Bible verse :)
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!
My cord mess... also my setup ;)
That monster on the right is the gaming rig.
Monitor is an LG34UM95-P. Besides the fact that it's awesome to work on, it's also a KVM for the MBP and Gaming rig.
I work from home aprx once a week and also have a side project that can run anywhere from 5 to 20 hours a week.
Nice! The cord mess is totally allowed sometimes its difficult fixing that. But I love your setup. Those speakers too π₯
Thanks! Did audio engineering for a bit. They're a hold over. Can't bring myself to ditch them :) Been running solid for nearly 20 years.
They're Event PS6 Project Studio 6 Powered Monitors
Wow that's cool!
Is that a mixer? Wow
Are you running Linux?
Yep, a Behringer 802-VLZ3. While the monitor works great as a KVM for the two computers, the sound required a bit more routing so I could pick and choose which source comes out of which speakers.
Nah, just MacOS.
Nice and clean setup. π
The middle screen is showing the very same question.
I use my desk for working and streaming on Twitch.
Love it. β€οΈ What your twitch channel I'll love to check it out.
twitch.tv/kasuken
From the next week, I will start to stream regularly, again.
If you are interested, you can follow us as team twitch.tv/team/livecoders
Love the alien head.
Being a Final Year Student at Undergraduate Studies, I don't have a very fancy setup and I work on my 17 Inches Laptop with a 4K Resolution. It is Core I7, 6700HQ, Octa-Thread Laptop and I am on a Table Where I can Extend My legs to full extension and I usually have a rest for legs under the table but I remove that when I start to work on a complex problem.
There's no photo?
Updated it just now. Forgot to include it.
Looks nice! β€οΈThose skincare products and Nutella deserve more space on the desk lol just kidding π
This is my work setup.
Those are 3 monitors, two 1080p and one 4K but I'm running it at 2K.
I run an Ubuntu VM using VMware.
That's also i3 WM with some tweaks (ask me about em).
I use all the Razer equipment -- Mamba Elite, Black widow Elite, and the Extended Goliath mat.
EDIT: Can't seem to upload my photo from mobile smh
Sorry things are a bit blurry here. Also, not a dev, though I work with DEV so figured that's close enough!
Anyway, here's what I'm working with.
And the zoomed in view, so you can see what a disaster my desk is.
Lots of cat related stuff in case you didn't notice. πΈ
Haha that's fine I appreciate you posting. Spotted the DEV hat and the cat wall arts. Nice and clean setup!!!
Thank you! And yep, those are paintings of our cats who passed away... the best kitties ever. My wife actually painted those. π©βπ¨
Aww sorry about your cats. β€οΈ
Isn't it funny how a hard wooden chair can actually be really comfortable?
Haha indeed! It mostly is comfy... but I just need remember not to sit to one side. And the long hours can get to me after a bit, but that's probably just sitting for too long in general.
To be honest, I've got my eyes on one of these - amazon.com/Varier-Tilting-Saddle-N... . I want to test it out, but will probably have to order it and just see.
There's no photo :)
I had some sort of issue posting the image, so thereβs another post with an image π
