You changed the game for me by introducing me to Notion, but I love the way you use Milanote in a visual format. I can't wait to combine the two! Beautiful office, and keep up the great work.

[@rachelhow]

Thank you, Meg! 💛🥺 hope it ups your productivity game 💪🏻

[@Minjoie]

Hii rachel, i have been looking at video, and i felt really nice, inspiring and mind blowing. Thank you for taking your time to make these guides. I loved your room and i will someday build like yours too, though i am struggling right now lol!!~ i love your voice too. I downloaded your wallpaper and freebies. I wish i could support your more and will do in future, love what you do. Please have a nice day😊

[@Gokuderka]

Vey inspirational! Thank you very much for sharing your office setup! everything looks minimalistic but also very personal and comfortable 😍 I've been looking for ideas to rearrange my home office and this gives me some ideas! :)

[@rachelhow]

Thank you so much for watching

[@itsattaullah]

That's super clean and pleasant to eyes, amazing setup 🙌

[@rachelhow]

Thank you 🙌

[@hnnhml]

this looks really really cool and productivity-enhancing! great vid 🥰

[@rachelhow]

Thank you so much!!

[@zino_unravel]

Set my own office space in my room few days ago and I've been very productive since then.

[@rachelhow]

Happy for you! Clear space, clear mind ☺️

[@janessa-tan]

The Totoros are still my fave thing about your space! ❤❤

[@rachelhow]

Ahhhhhhh thank you, Janessa! Yes, they’re super cute 🥰

[@BillyWhaler]

A durable standing desk is about the best purchase I’ve ever made for the home office.

[@rachelhow]

Heard that if we pair it with a walking pad (a treadmill), that would be a fun way to add exercise to your work routine!

[@hvaandres]

Everything looks pretty good, and is amazing that you are sharing..

[@rachelhow]

Thank you so much!

[@ByteReview]

Great looking space. I keep debating a standing desk but I really like the look of mine as it is 😅

[@rachelhow]

Thanks, Tom! 🥺 I LOVE the look of your home office! Wouldn't change a thing 🙌🏻

[@ChadveeA]

Would love to see the rest, if you've designed the rest of your home :) I have the same vision for my own place I just moved into!

[@johngomes4278]

Your channel is so great !!

[@rachelhow]

Thank you so much!!

[@giftegwuenu]

I love your space!🥰

[@rachelhow]

Thank you 🧡 Hope it inspires you to design your very own unique space :)

[@nemethricsi]

Amazing! 😻

[@rachelhow]

thank you for watching!

[@jeevakraj740]

Looking great! Can you make a video on how you decided these things.the thought process and your choice so that it would be helpful for others who are settling up this. Even I have some plans to customise my room but not sure how and where to start

[@rachelhow]

Ooh, good idea! Thanks for watching :) I’ve mentioned the thought process in the current video actually, but did not go too in-depth into the planning process as I was afraid it’s not interesting enough.

[@jeevakraj740]

@@rachelhow your videos are always interesting, looking forward for the thought process video.

[@Candy-yumi]

Love the cozy vibes here! I also feel that I need a facepalm cat figurine in my life now🤣

[@rachelhow]

Thanks! Haha that face palm cat figurine comes with a hamster laying flat on a can of cat food. SUPER adorable. I think I bought it from China!

[@JJ-zn6ql]

Love it, nice and clean. Maybe I don't need my two monitors and macbook screen out.. Will be using this as a reference to upgrade my setup.

[@delfiruth1896]

what a beautiful office

[@rachelhow]

Thank you!!!

[@johngomes4278]

Your home office is awesome 👍

[@rachelhow]

Woahh 😍😍

[@rachelhow]

Thanks for dropping by, Ziet! :)

[@vyshnav_xyz]

This desk setup is gorgeous. Which monitor is that? Also how is it performing with the Mac & the color quality?

[@jimmycheww]

Many thanks for the wonderful share. : )

[@rachelhow]

Many thanks for dropping by! :)

[@IncomeCreatorAcademy]

Very nice cosy room. Where do you find photos of room setup for inspiration?

[@jravelog1193]

Hi Rachel, I love the Japandi style for your work space! I've been eyeing on the Ergonomic Desk from Endesk for some time now, is it good? since there isn't alot of review out there for their product, would like to get your thoughts about their desk :D

[@rachelhow]

It's pretty good, I don't have any complaints about it so far! I'd recommend you to get their wheels too (from Endesk) so it's easier to move your table or vacuum the floor. The table is quite heavy but the quality is great.

[@hris9214]

I own an Endesk too, can testify its quality 👍👍 no complaints so far (hv been using it for 2yrs+)

[@jravelog1193]

​@@rachelhow Thank you! Think I'll be getting one for myself !

[@imnotsure4864]

Omg the cup warmer and the bread phoje stand 🥺 wheree did you get them? 👉👈

[@rachelhow]

Thanks for watching :) I got the cup warmer from Lazada (a local e-commerce platform in my country) and the phone stand is a gift from a friend :)

[@enochlightolaleye6235]

Do you have a full course on UI/UX Design

[@tylerlimwei]

What is the brand of those table legs?

[@haileykhoo8927]

Hi, thank you for your nice home office setup video. May I know where do you get your desk and chair? Its not listed on your website. May I know the brand ?

[@rachelhow]

Hi Hailey! Table is the Endesk by enbooth.com :) Size is stated in the video! The chair is Herman Miller Mirra 2.

[@xefyris]

what's the name of your cable management tray? It looks very clean!

[@rachelhow]

Heyyy! It's just a stick on cable management tray. It's unbranded :)

[@husainyard]

Nice workspace, Rachel. Doesn't look like in Malaysia at all, haha jk. By the way when you mentioned using white paint only, is it purely white or have some undertone in it? Maybe can give the specific paint code also.

[@rachelhow]

Hey! Just saw your comment. Thank you for asking :) The white paint is just a generic white paint (I don't remember the brand and color code), but what gave the ambience in the room is actually the lighting. I use warm lighting. Hope it helps!

[@piukul]

How does Herman Miller Mira feel compare to Aeron?

[@juliebarber9898]

What is that monitor? It looks gorgeous but it's not the one linked on your site. Also, you should let users know to scroll down resources page to see the products - I almost missed it.

[@rachelhow]

Thank you for the feedback 🙏🏻 The monitor is the LG27UN880, but I've upgraded to the Apple Studio Display since then.

[@chp438]

Hey, where did you get that desk cable holder?

[@rachelhow]

Ah i bought it online, it doesn’t have a brand. It’s just a random stick-on cable management tray 😅

[@raghavendraj3758]

Hello fantastic 😮

[@asheshroy5038]

Is this a All In One PC?

[@rachelhow]

I'm using a MacBook Pro connected to the monitor :)

[@muneertopics8264]

wow i liked , but really onl ui ux can make a good life for person(:?

[@rachelhow]

I think it’s more about doing what you love that pays you well too :)

[@muneertopics8264]

@@rachelhow thank you for your replay , sure i do what i love i like designing so much but i earn low with high quality i hope i can make with it good life for me (:
