How to improve my desk

I have a box room that serves as a home office. Its not really set up well and the main issue is location of plug sockets. They are about 60cm high and in strange locations (red X on plot). I'd like them hidden by desks but suspect that will require L-shaped to hide wires.

I need to recored some instructions videos for work and would like something a bit more sleek and modern. Dark wood and dark wall and getting rid of the old writing desk. I'm thinking wooden slats behind the desk (pretty standard stuff now i know).

The missing corner in the box room makes things awkward. I need to do face to camera and suspect desk behind for that is best. have no clue how to arrange desks L-shaped or even u shaped.

I need lots of storage and ideally a standing desk. Was considering the ikea Alex desk hack with a walnut top on a standing frame but not sure how you do that with the L-shaped needed to hid plugs.

Or do I just chase the wall and move the plugs and stick with a straight desk.

I'm not really any good at this. Any advice or idea pictures would be really appreciated. Thank you.

I work from my bedroom, so my desk is basically my office during the day. But after work, I still use the same space to watch shows, scroll, or play games.

The problem is, even when I close my laptop, the room still feels like work mode.

After you finish work, do you change anything about your desk or room setup, or do you just leave it as is?

I’m curious what actually helps make the space feel like home again.

I may be a monitor hoarder. A perk is getting to reuse old tech when someone upgrades or leaves.

Finally finished my workspace in my first apartment and I’m really happy with how it turned out.
I wanted to create a clean, cozy, and functional setup without filling the space with RGB or too many accessories. Since I live in a small apartment, every inch counts, so I tried to keep everything organized while adding some plants and wall decor to make it feel more welcoming.
I’m still open to suggestions, but I think it’s finally at a point where I can call it finished. Thanks for checking it out!

Here's a little desktop setup I put together. Do you guys see anything that could be improved?

Ft. my Maruader, Pi, Nova, HDD, Thinkpad, Nixie clock, and growing collection of autographed hats. Wire control could be better.

My analog corner - except for the stereo...

Hey r/Workspaces,

Current Setup:

• Dual monitor configuration Benq GW2490 with laptop display turned off & lid half closed, using its keyboard only.
• budget RGB gaming mouse

Areas where I need recommendations:

1. Monitor arrangement - Is the dual monitor setupd optimal rn OR should i change it to use a Monitor Arm for left monitor?
2. Lighting - The room appears quite dark. Should I add bias lighting or desk lamps?
3. Ergonomics - Any suggestions for improving posture during long coding sessions?
4. Additional peripherals that would benefit an engineer doing work & interview prep?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

ignore the box on the floor lol, but sitting in this for extended periods has been a game changer. the hbada lower back adjustment actually holds up super well

The Husky cabinets and table had to come inside but have been a nice IT job furniture addition. One cabinet hides the printer, two computers, hard drive, chargers etc.

I don’t like having a door to my back, desk was originally on wall 3, moved it to the middle to see and I like facing out a lot more, but also like looking out the window.

Issue is with the current layout the room is congested with my desk.

Should I keep my desk as is, or should I move it to the wall with my white board and add some seating and a small tv back against wall 3 and 4.

Open to any and all feedback. (yes my office gets messy, i may need a workbench to separate hand work versus computer work.)

Hello! First time posting here, I love seeing all of you guys' workspaces and thought I'd share mine as well~

It took a while to put together all the pieces, but now after about 7 months, I can finally say I feel comfortable with this setup! Though I should probably get a new LED strip...

I just got a new cubicle what should I add here so it doesn’t seem to open, but also not too bulky!

I’m trying to improve my desk lighting, but I keep running into the same problem.

I like having some ambient light because it makes my workspace feel nicer, but I also need enough light to actually work. At the same time, I don’t want to buy a bunch of different lights or make my desk feel cluttered.

So I’m curious, what’s the most annoying trade-off in your desk lighting setup?

Too bright vs. not bright enough?
Good task lighting vs. lighting up the whole room?
Better lighting setup vs. more desk clutter?
Or something else?

Thank you all!
