Having a nice place to work from is as important as the gear you are using (or it is for me at least). 🏠💻
Over the last year, I’ve made some improvements to my home office so that it looks better and is more functional. 🛠️✨
One of the things that I wanted for a long time was a solid wood desk. After a lot of failed searches, my wife found a beautiful Romanian solid oak desk top at Leroy Merlin, and it’s perfect. It gives a warm feeling and looks much better than the standard impersonal desks. 🪵💖
I wanted to add some “smarts“ to my office, so I went for the IKEA smart home solution. I’ve added an LED strip to provide some light behind the monitors (to reduce eye strain), some RGB accent lights, smart plugs, and smart remotes. Now, with one button press, I can turn on my desk (power on my sit-stand desk, laptop, display, and other peripherals) or perform other actions. 💡🔧
Another thing I wanted in my office was a small professional library. A place to keep the most relevant books for my professional career. 📚🔍
Last but not least, to give everything an “office“ vibe, I also got some cringy decor. 🎨😅
