- Very cool spacestoplying
- This looks amazing!Chimp
- awesome! had something very similar in my yard in SF, sound proofed it and made it my jam roomGuyFawkes
- Nice, did you build all that?scarabin
- @GuyFawkes amazing idea; my reference speakers are great loud in here BUT i'm assuming it's loud outside. @scarabin Didn't build; just modified.
; )ideaist - for dealing with hot/cold: insulate the roof, either fiberglass or foam, and enclose attic space + vent out the gables so the hot air can go somewhere.monNom
- vaulted ceilings are notoriously bad for energy efficiency compared to an attic space. You might also do a trellis or scrim to cut down radiant heat in windowsmonNom
- This is awesome BTWmonNom
- Love you dudes AND 1-2 dudettes!!!ideaist

My office is inside my apt, next to my bedroom. It was furnished with dark, almost black wooden IKEA desks and shelves and after 14 years, it definitely was time for a change. Especially as I spend 10 hours per day in this room, when I am not on the road.
My wife is working in the same room, with the same new desk, but I have chosen the angle, so only my place is in the frame.
This is my new workspace:
I went for the just mentioned solution:
- 1 x IKEA Alex on the left
- 2 custom legs that I screwed to the desktop
- 180x75cm multiplex birch covered with RAL 9018 linoleumI measured and then mounted a 21mm multiplex birch plate underneath Alex to have the desk leveled. To my surpise I managed to have it 100% in level.
The desk space feels huge. And finally I have a new light office. It makes such a difference to the dark room that it was before.
I screwed a power strip to the back of Alex to tidy up the cables a bit.
The speciality of the custom made desk top is that there is a slope of 25 degees that makes the plate look thin and light.
In reality it is 3cm in thickness and the weight is 23kg. It is very stable.
I don't know why linoleum isn't available in white, but I am happy with RAL 9018 (so-called Papyrus white).
The rest of the room is new, too. I bought a new lamp to hang from the ceiling. It's white as well, so you barely recognize it.
The sideboard holds my wifi printer (no more shitty cable) and the Monstera hasn't grown yet, so just as an example, I put it inside the pot I bought:
Last year, I framed a print for a client behind museum glas. It was very expensive but looked so amazing, I decided to buy this for my office, too. I chose two smaller frames (50x70cm). But the glas swallows most of the reflection, so the photos feel amazin when you look at them. I decided to change the photos 4 times per year.
My stuff rests behind a white curtain. It's a thick darkening curtain.
I set up an ugly but very stable metal shelf there to put all my stuff in there.
I also have my stereo back there and my wireless earphones, in case my wife works at her desk as well.
Now, I ordered a felt mousepad, because I am afraid to make scratches into the linoleum desktop with my mouse. Didn't have a mousepad for more than two decades, but well.
- Looks like a surgery room compared to my working place, so clean and organized!OBBTKN
- It's new, that's why. But I am a quite organized person, too.SimonFFM
- Where's the casting couch?BusterBoy
- I make art not porn :-DSimonFFM
- Make love not wari_was
- A4 white/clear cutting matt works well as a mousepad, looks stylish/designer too, japan do nice ones https://www.amazon.c…shapesalad
- Thanks, good idea!SimonFFM
- I love European radiatorsGnash
- Ooooh mounting the power strip in the back of your cabinet ... hadn't thought of that, great idea!Continuity
- I hate the radiator. Looks so shitty. But I am only rentin, so I cannot paint it. The windows are ugly, too.SimonFFM
- I think you've created a nice, tranquil space. I might suggest a comfy arm chair or mall sofa for relaxing also.monospaced
- Come on. These have to be CG renders.CyBrainX
- No, no. All real. The room has only 14sqm. Photographed with a 25mm lens. So it looks larger. My couch is in the next room, so I can chill there.SimonFFM
- will look great once you've tidied upFax_Benson
- Note that cutting mat may cause cancer over time. No one seems to know the level of exposure needed to put you at risk, though.nb
- I really like this setup. the radiator is a constant grid in your view, some quality white curtains can make these things disappear :) sup with the pencils?sted
- Do you have a link to that side table/drawer with the printer on it?yaphi
- Looks and feels great! Great job, Simon!Krassy

- YouTube Music is confusing. Don't use it.Bennn
- I’d rather have the old itunes, honestly, but it plays what i want when i ask my smart speaker so it gets the job donescarabin
- I use it ‘cause it came free with youtube premium, which i got to get rid of commercials. Might look for something different once i get PiHole configuredscarabin

I've been meaning to post my office up here for a while.
- very very nice. i just reno gutted my house basement and am prepping a new studio space (old bedroom) and am do the same sliding door ideaprophetone
- was thinking maybe make it out of glued together parallam to see all the layers top to bottom, or rusted steel with big rivets or somethingprophetone
- The barn door is two sheets of 1/2" MDF glued together and painted. I had the graphic printed on adhesive vinyl.noneck
- If you're doing a barn door, make sure you have some really crazy backing to attach the rails to. Lots of stress there, so it'll rip shit out of place easily.noneck
- FFS is that snow outside?utopian
- i plan on putting 2x8 between framing alone top to lag body into, they'll also be attached to ceiling joists, should be able to hang any door weightprophetone
- *along top to lag bolt into (geez autocorrect)prophetone

- yessss smarty pants, force a rust finish then coat it to seal it from yucky rust fingersprophetone
- @utopian Yes, a bit of snow. Usually there's more by this time of year.noneck
- @prophetone The builder had to come back and rebuild part of that wall because the backing had split in two and the hardware was a bit loose.noneck
- home office?Bennn
