Cleaning up my home office setup

Nothing wild here, Ikea counter top was the only way to get a massive desk for this space at 108" on top of a set of raising desk legs. Love this desk size, it's so big that my 34" ultra wide monitor looks like it's a small screen there.

Added a nice wool desk pad and a couple other things from Grovemade.

There's another identical desk setup on the opposite side of the room too for my wife.

Really happy with the whole thing. Prior to this I was working at a grey plastic folding table that I'd setup years ago when we first moved in thinking it was just temporary...finally stopped being lazy and procrastinating.

I got limited space below the stairwell. SFF pc on the desk, and a 27 inch screen. Planning to get a higher quality deskpad and some sort of headset hook.

What are some nice things to do with that back wall with the akward angles?

Battlestations Advice Any improvements to setup?

Post image
42 Upvotes

Ignore the fact that I have a Macbook Air, my gaming laptop is sent for repair so I'm currently using my old Macbook Air running Windows 10, screen overclocked to 80hz. I just decided to take photo now cuz I thought the metal aluminium finish on the Macbook Air looks much better for photos than my gaming laptop with black plastic finish🤣

Besides that, do you guys think I can improve my setup even more? BTW all of these peripherals were bought at a good deals if I do say so myself😁
