Our computer workstation setups are one of the most important areas of our homes. They’ve become the place where we spend the most time–even surpassing our beds. However, these spaces often aren’t given their due attention on the design front, and some aren’t even optimised for comfort. Could you pull your workstation out from a neglected dusty corner with some fresh slick aesthetics? Should you soup up your user experience with new tech and ergonomic additions? We’ve whipped up a collection of 50 workstation setups that we really like, and we’re sure that you will too. Log in and get set to reprogram how you think about your home workspace.
Alternatively, camouflaging your tech and desk in the same colour as your walls can make a workstation setup become less intruding upon a combined living space.
Pyrography depicts the home owners’ passion and adds attractive natural tone to the room. A wooden headphone stand blends elegantly with the surroundings.
An ultrawide monitor spans a large stand with storage, under which the keyboard can tuck away when not in use. Indoor plants make up for a grey city view.
The owner of this “machine learning workstation†has opted for deep toned timber accents on black, with industrial style coat rack and corner shelves from Vasagle. A sleek wooden
swivel chair completes the look.
An L-shaped arrangement works well in separating off a workspace within a lounge, particularly when the back edge is raised to obscure the view of office clutter.
If your workstation is going to be used for music and mixing then you’ll want to invest in some acoustic foam panels. Together, these panels form a textural feature from desk to ceiling.
Pretty and pretty practical too. This light and colourful space is equipped with a vertical monitor that’s perfect for editing code, plus an ergonomic split keyboard for comfort.
KAWS figurines make a quirky addition to an artistic workstation. KAWS art might not be within everybody’s budget, but a similar effect could be achieved with other colour block figurines of your choosing. Grab a can of spray paint and get your DIY on.
This L-shape area is split evenly between computer based design and a more traditional drawing board for hand-drawn concepts. A black Herman Miller Embody chair chair blends with dark flooring and a grey rug, whilst the crisp white desk becomes one with the walls.
Just like a technological garden, everything in this workstation is popping up on stalks. A widescreen monitor, laptop, tablet and even a desk lamp grow to their full potential on slender black stems.
Mid century modern furniture offers a trendy approach to the workstation setup. Pop a bright or patterned cushion on the chair and include a plethora of indoor plants to get the homey feel.
This workspace of a product manager fits right up against the living room TV wall, which is actually a plus. TVs can offer awesome extra monitor space whenever needed.
A jumble of tech could look like a hot mess, however, colour coordinated yellow speakers and a golden elephant figurine pull the muddle together in one cohesive sweep.
