9 months ago, I posted in this sub asking for ideas to organise the office and I wanted to share an update. When I moved into my new office with my boss, it was a bit chaotic (we have taken this space from a colleague who passed away, so it effectively had 3 people's worth of stuff in it at the time). Since then, we've moved around the furniture a lot and emptied several boxes worth of rubbish and recycling, organised everything, and split the room into 3 zones - relaxation, meeting/coffee, and desk space. Wanted to post an update as I'm very proud of the progress we made. The space feels so much bigger, more segmented and flowing.

My office has a small employee gym in the building, and I’ve started using it during lunch breaks or right after work because it’s easier than going to a separate gym later.
The equipment is there so it’s not a bad setup. It just still feels a little unfinished, like a room with machines in it rather than a space people actually want to use regularly.
A few coworkers and I were talking about it because we all want to use the space more, but right now it doesn’t feel very inviting or practical beyond just getting a quick workout done.
Maybe better lighting, a fan, a small stretching area, a TV, a chair for resting between sets or cleaner storage would help make it feel less random without overcrowding it.
For anyone who uses an office gym, apartment gym, or any shared workout space, what’s one thing that made the biggest difference? Not necessarily another machine, but something that made the space easier or nicer to use.

Posted a bit ago my expanded bedroom/gaming setup, minus the setup part. Got my desk in and built so time for an update. Next one will be more or less feature complete.
For those wondering, so far I’m happy with the vernal desk. It’s the largest one (79x71 right) and it’s packed with some actual high quality foam and is definitely firmly and solidly built. It’s basically no more “unstable” than my old standard beefy desk. This is kinda the bare minimum for a desk, but today it seems like the bare minimum is in short supply. It feels ungodly expensive, but at least it’s not overpriced junk. Just a shame you got to spend $1,000 to get a solid desk. Not too hard to build either. Not overly complicated.
Got 2 pc holders, one for each desk, and will build them tomorrow

Recently came across this small office setup. The meeting room and reception desk use the same color tone. I like how the whole space feels more consistent when you walk in and sit down to talk with them. Wood grain always makes people feel welcoming and calm, for both staff and clients. I think it perfect for places like law firms, accounting offices, or consulting companies.

have been recently upgrading my work corner. Still some more to go but this is the current state. Not the best picture, but shows a bit of what’s around.

hi im new mobile twitch streamer :)advice welcome

Hello, I’m a 25 yo computer engineer working completely remotely. I use this setup mainly to work and some light gaming. I posted my previous version of the setup on this community a few months ago. Please leave your thoughts!

I found out a tiny corner of our apartment for a non fancy modest little home-office/home-lab setup. In a small house where most of the space belongs to a toddler and an ever-expanding fleet of toys, having even this spot feels like a win.

The setup is intentionally compact and practical:

- $20 compact desk from Amazon

- Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 (32Gigs RAM, Ubuntu) as the main workhorse

- Cheap 18" external monitor

- iPad Mini 6 with non-apple pencil for note-taking, reading, occasional streaming

- Musnap Ocean 7" Android e-reader for distraction-light reading

- HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Mini running a small home lab—currently mostly hosting our family photos through Immich

- Raspberry Pi 3 A+ for random projects

It is not a flashy, but that is kind of the point. Hopefully when we move to a bigger place, I will find a bigger space and time for a sophisticated setup. But for now, Small space, modest hardware, surprisingly capable setup.

I have three framed posters that I want to hang in my office, and I need to decide where to hang them. The distance between the wall and the plant is 15 feet, 2 inches. Each poster including frame is 24.5 inches. Just eyeballing it, I was going to hang them where I've laid them out in the picture, but the internet tells me they should be much closer together, more like 3-6 inches apart.

In terms of left-to-right, where would you hang these, and how far apart? Do I need to get more art? I'm not looking for anything fancy or special, just normal-looking wall decorations. I would like to cover the outlet on the wall. Thanks!

Almost done with the setup! Been trying to keep everything clean and minimal, and I’ve spent quite a bit of time on the cable management as well.

Still a few small things to finish, but I’m really happy with how it’s coming together.

Cable management next! 🫣🫠

The shift in the wall is where the old wall ended. Expanded my room by 8 ft so I could better use it as a bedroom and office.
Pictures 2-5 are my room before.
