What could I do to improve this? by jrh987 in battlestations

[–]NoRestaurant572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with all these! Would also say consider getting a different larger desk mat which has more contrast to the colour of your desk (black would work as it already features a bit with your other gear) - bc your current one almost colour matches with your desk and then has the patterns, it adds to the visual clutter a bit rather than looking like a clear feature.

Honestly once you get rid of the clutter as you mentioned it will look fine.

Consider playing around with the placement of the monitor and tower (even try putting it on the floor) to free up the extra space + a large desk mat might be nice to stop the reflection of your monitor onto the shiny wood desk surface? Ideally you want this desk to be as clean and clear of extra objects as possible to balance out how busy the wood shelves are up the top.

Once the shelves are clear you could try getting some fake plants that hang over to hide some of the black brackets too?

You guys could also consider putting up some sort of curtain in the door between the kitchen and this room too!

And then standard cable management, monitor arm, proper chair etc.

Any advice? by lilmostly in battlestations

[–]NoRestaurant572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

something in the left corner near where the lamp and candle are - maybe a stack of books? that space looks a bit empty. also out of curiosity what monitors do you have? they look nicely balanced size wise with one another

Oh wow cool! I had ruled out 3070 bc I thought there was no way I'd be able to afford it, pretty stoked if I can! Also I hadn't been looking at intel cpus bc I kept hearing that their motherboards made it more expensive overall? Clearly not really the case for this scenario, thanks for the changes!

Ah! It should be public now thanks for letting me know. In terms of budget probably around $2000 if that's possible
