This is my minimal setup! Any suggestions ? Was wondering if there is a better placement for my mic and boom arm potentially I tried a lot of placements but this seems to keep the most desk space which I really value having a lot of real estate there for a clean look. Also have a white elgato low profile arm on deck if you think that would be better!

The psp isn’t usually there. I’m also thinking of changing my usb c cable to white as opposed to black and wrapping it behind the monitor to hide it better

Akayu's photographer desk — warm amber light from every angle, a red iPad stand anchoring the foreground, 3D-printed ambient pieces catching the glow. The concept was deliberate: warm theme as the desk's operating temperature, not seasonal decoration. Warm colour, warm light, warm focus — a photographer's way of making winter feel like it should.

Decided to remove the deskmat for a while because I’ve switched to a trackball, also just got the cabinet which has taken in all the stuff that was occupying (cluttering) my desk space. Wire shelf under the table helps with the mess, also tiny magnetic charger wire holders add quality of life.

As you can see, i’m a fan of minimalism also a big hater of dust….

What do you think I can improve here to keep the lightness and ease of cleaning? I was thinking of pegboards on the left side as well as behind, maybe some handmade posters (wanna try stamping with lego dots tiles)

An advertising director's desk where the work never really stops. A single swing-arm lamp throws warm amber light across two screens — both running the same burning sunset wallpaper, as if the desktop is always mid-shoot. A DIY riser brings MacBook Pro and external monitor to matched eye-level; Edifier speakers flank both sides; MelGeek board anchors a wide Beesir mat. The left corner stacks drives, tools, and gear in a way that says: this is a working desk, not a display.

A Participator of WDSF from Sydney who built their workspace like a gallery exhibit — everything white, everything intentional. The NZXT H9 Elite sits as a glass-and-aluminium sculpture on the desk, crowned with a LEGO Porsche 911; the dual ANGRY MIAO Cyberboards signal this is as much a collector's practice as a productivity setup. Three displays — two Apple Studio Displays flanking an Alienware AW2723DF — handle the workload, while Philips Hue Play lights define the only warmth this monochrome space allows.

Not fancy setup compared to many posted here, but this wallpaper from Jovorie made the space feel a bit better and more personal. Slowly building things up… I’ll get there in a few years. Gimme some love😍😍

My Favourite Minimal SetUp Specially White Colour is my Most Favourite 🤍

Went from a full RGB gaming setup to this minimal desk, and I don’t think I’m going back.

Current setup:

• MacBook Air M5 13"
• LG 27GS85Q-B 1440p 180Hz
• Logitech POP Icon Combo
• Creative Pebble V2

That’s it.

No noise, no clutter, no tweaking. Just open, work, done.

Biggest surprise: it improved my focus way more than any upgrade ever did.

Anyone else downsized and liked it more?

Finally added some much needed desk real estate without breaking the bank. I looked at a few DIY options, but this was the easiest and most cost-effective way for me to get it done.
The Build:
• Shelf: JYSK Floating Shelf (120cm x 24cm)
• Legs: Generic furniture legs from Amazon
• Total Cost: €28
It’s surprisingly sturdy and fits my 27 inch dual monitors perfectly. If anyone is looking for a Grovemade alternative on a budget, this is it.

G’day everyone,

I’ve been putting together this setup, and it’s starting to get a bit cluttered. Hit me up with your ideas on how I could tidy it up. I’m not talking about swapping things out or buying new ones, but rather rearranging them to make it more comfortable and visually appealing. Feel free to share your ideas, and if you’re up for it, even use AI to create some mock-ups!

EDIT: I use this for work and light entertainment
EDIT2: Ignore the cables at the bottom, I am only concerned with the desk surface area!
