Pic: Your desk...RIGHT NOW

[martin363]

As I have been painting and decorating the 'Greek holiday home / retirement man cave' all day, may as well update, still need a comfy leather arm chair, shelves, artworks etc. etc.;

There's an a empty space where my desk used to be, my little 3meter x 3.3 meter man room's getting a makeover with wood flooring and some paint... looking to this thread for some desk inspiration

The thing is, with the mess. I believe that most of these "desks" are not realistic. They are either tidied artificially to show how "clean and neat" the users are or not being used for anything real.
Mine is seen as a real mess according to this thread, but it is used every day. It's where I work when in my home office, do research for home projects, working things out, and as a workbench for "clean" projects.
If it was anything like the pics in this thread, it would just be vanity space, and not actually anything like as useful!
Function over form for a working space, any time
I expect that a million people will now all yell that theirs is immaculate and they do all sorts with their setup and it's always immaculate. Yeah, it's ok, everyone knows deep down that the moment the glory shot is taken, you fall back into that "cluttered" mess you claim to hate
It's ok, we can all pretend, we will keep your dirty little secret, and keep this thread going

Well, it's all about how many products you have and if you can stop buying silly products that you own as assets your desk will be forever clean. Mine is always clean as I don't collect pointless things.

Not true - some in here might be a little ocd clean, but I simply can't work (or play games) at a desk like yours. I can't concentrate with things being that 'busy' around me. To each their own

... flooring's down... ikea hack desk going in tomorrow

My office is my zen space, it needs to be clean, tidy and organised otherwise it really bothers me.

I work from my home office full time and it doesn't get messy. I bring food and drink in, and take it out when it's finished. Other than that, nothing is added to the desk. I have a shelf in the office for paper work, so nothing collects on the desk.

 

[Supercow]

Added to that, my wife is fairly messy, and I have two kids ... my man cave is my space that I can control. As lie says, it's my 'Zen' in the chaos

Took a couple snaps this morning of my setup now I've added the new Sonos and the little succulent.

It may be lens distortion but that desk looks as if its bowing and about to collapse.

 

[rhysduck]

It is lens distortion, look at the curtain pole.

I actually can’t work if my desk is messy I have to have as much out of my line of sight as possible otherwise it just bothers me and I can't concentrate. I'm glad I don't work in a job that requires lots of books or paperwork everywhere as I think I'd go mad

Photo of my vintage desk space.



My build is inside the wooden cabinet of the 1939 German Graetz Radio Below the desk. style wise I’d say is its a Mid-Century industrial. I rarely game at my desk these days as I also have my PC Hooked up to my 40 inch 4K TV at the end if the bed.

Just bought and installed a new monitor so thought I post here as well as in the Purchase thread in GD, Didn't see many 43' monitors when I was browsing through a number of pages (10-15 or so), so here is another. Monitor in portrait is a 27' 1440 x 2560 res, and the other one is a 35' 3440 x 1440 res. Incase someone looking for a comparison between 43' and other monitors.

My desk set up, replacing the mouse mat with a Glorious 3XL from OCUK and getting a dual monitor arm as well.

What on earth is the photo on the calendar? I can't decide wether it looks more like a 3D scan of a child or a chicken carcass.. No offence, obviously

New desk in new study in new house!

Need me another monitor, but happy with the setup so far. Loving the keyboard/mouse combo and the fact that I only need one of each to control my desktop, server and work laptop

Have seriously upped my game by adding two 24" monitors in the past year and getting a dedicated work box (running the little monitor) so I don't need to use my laptop



(Full Disclosure: pile of junk and paperwork currently sat on top of the printer to the left... shelving opposite desk in an absolute state)

It is the front cover of a calendar the Mrs made of our first child with our daughter posed (asleep or awake) with various backgrounds, cooking, hanging on the washing line, a butterfly. under the sea, on stage etc. There's a semi-opaque cover over it of course.

Changed some bits, taken the desk extensions off as they weren't needed. Added a Surface.

Excuse the cuddly toys and the carpet.. Plan is to decorate the room this year but not sure I'm staying or its getting converted into a room and then I'm kicked into what was the nursery!

I’m tempted to post my desk on here, the ocd lot won’t sleep for a month
