You don’t make things this squared away and are sloppy with things like watering haha

[@GeeketcFr]

Dude I love the colors so much, and everytime I see your setup I'm like "how the hell does he keep so many plants alive ?" 🤣

[@matdilisio]

Honestly, I don't know 😂 I'm impressed I kept the Anthurium Clarinervium alive hahah

[@jeanangelo98]

@@matdilisioanthuriums are SO finicky 😂 my kings are doing alright but I really need more humidity for them. And I live in the South!! 🥵

[@TehBananaBread]

Most people kill their plants because of overwatering. So actually not being too obsessed with them is for most people the ideal way to keep them alive.

[@makeittrades5750]

The dark colors, the coziness and the earthy feeling blended with perfect lighting and music, this is on another level. Well done!

[@ninayjchen]

LOVEE the nature vibe and the dark aesthetic so much!! The new setup is so sleek as well! 🤩

I love this setup. The dark base with deep black accented with rich wood and green is gorgeous. I will be using this as inspiration for my new setup!

[@matdilisio]

Thank you so much! I'm currently working on a makeover, so if you liked this one, stay around for the revamped office because it's better than ever 😁👋

[@godisgood5089]

You lost me when you installed a piece of junk to hold your iphone 1 inch above your desk. More plants, less amazon garbage.

[@klaymoon1]

Amazing set up! Can you share how you edit your videos? Thanks.

[@dieToteninsel]

I’ll save it as a great example of what I do want to see in my own setup. Deep gray and wood are perfectly combined, I love the dark and cozy vibes from your workspace. With love from Russia.

[@matdilisio]

I appreciate you my friend! It would make me very proud if you take inspiration from my workspace 💪 On my IG I share more videos and photos that you can take as reference! Cheers from Tenerife 👋

[@barbaraweitschat]

4:59 That's an epiprenum global green, also known as global green pothos 😀 I really like that you included so many plants in your setup😆

[@matdilisio]

Thank you so much Barbara! Very helpful 🫶 Unfortunately I can't find different varieties where I live, otherwise I would have more 😆

[@BaconWhisky]

If anything in the world could some up the insanely specific and exact vibe I would go for if I could, this set up would be SPOT ON. This is so good

[@SamEckholm]

Noticed you switched out the grove-made wall shelves for the IKEA shelves. I was thinking of getting the grove ones, but now you got be thinking haha. What made you switch?

[@matdilisio]

This is an older video 😆 I switched from IKEA to Grovemade 👌

[@SamEckholm]

@@matdilisio Oooooh good switch haha. Makes sense now 😅

[@n4ko]

im just wondering .. i really like the color paint that you choose but i worry that without enough lighting the place its going to be really dark. im used to painting my room in a light color (almost always white). and the reflection does help a lot to light every corner. soo, how does that compare to working during the night in your office?. I really love the look

[@matdilisio]

I personally don't like to work in a very bright workspace, I hate reflections on the screen and having dark walls helps a lot with that. I really like how it looks at night, I use a lamp on the back, a strip light behind the desk and a monitor screen bar behind the monitor. I have a remote controller to turn on and off the lights so it's pretty handy, I can also adjust the intensity and warmth 👌

[@Hebby.Keyboard]

I wonder how you moved smoothly from various angles and filmed the video. Nice video btw

[@matdilisio]

😆 I combined slow movements with a professional gimbal and high fps! That's it 🙌

[@mickaelsflow6774]

Love the aesthetic, but above all, love the abundance of plants in your office setup. Great setup, Mattia!

[@Ripenr32]

It seems that the color for the paint isn't available via hex codes, anyway you can find out for me and let me know? Going to redesign my office soon, and pick up some of the products from off your list here, just can't do it without having painted the place.

[@robertdavies9957]

My desk also measures 2.56m in hate, especially during Zoom meetings. (jokes aside, beautiful setup 🙏)

[@rich5916]

theres something wrong with you mic audio way too much bass

[@dustin4521]

are your black walls some kind of panels or just a normal black wall?

[@matdilisio]

Just black paint 🎨

[@dustin4521]

@@matdilisio Daamn how is it so clean tho? our walls here in germany (atleast my walls) are kinda weird... besides that they are the only object in the universe that have a realistic chance of beating a nokia phone

[@PAWNB3YOND]

This is my goal for my next setup. I want Black, Black Walnut, and Greenery only. Not even sure I want any RGB this time.

[@matdilisio]

Thank you my friend! I prefer using daylight with my RGB lights during the day and warm light at night. While colored lights can be enjoyable for gaming, they can introduce a color cast when working on videos and photos that has the potential to distort the perception of colors in my work, which is why I choose to stick with neutral lighting for more accurate results 👌

[@Zarate217]

I used to quality check a bunch of used speakers. Most typically JBL and Marshall speakers. And I can confirm Marshall speakers are leaps and bounds more inferior to JBL speakers. Their quality is shittier, they were always having issues, the SOUND quality was not that great either. (Even on grade A ones that were practically brand new, I still wasn’t a fan of them). Then right after quality checking a Marshall speaker I’ll get a JBL that was in like a house fire or some shit. And the crazy thing is… it would still sound incredible 😂 (for the record I’d check their whole range so not just the little speakers but the big expensive ones too.) I do not like Marshall speakers . BUT they do have a dope ass design and when I first started doing that job I loved looking at them. But towards the end of my time there (which ended February of 2023) seeing one anywhere gave me PTSD. TLDR; don’t get Marshall speakers because from my experience quality controlling them for a job, they’re not great. Much better options out there for you to go with.

[@pprimal]

What type of exterior home style do you live in? Im trying t o find a style that can work with this color setup indoors

[@guangyiong6611]

Very nice setup! Really loves the aesthetic and the way you present the video! Does your room often get dusty? Dust are easily visible on dark surfaces. If yes would love to know how will you keep ur desk/room clean! Since mine setup have many dark area surface too but my room often gets dusty within days 😢

[@matdilisio]

I appreciate it man! Of course 😆 I live in Tenerife and we often get a lot of dust from the Sahara desert... every morning before start working I clean my desk, I have this routine that takes 5 minutes. I just wipe with a damp cloth, then once or twice a week I remove the dust from other areas such the shelving units and shelves. Having a rug also attract a lot of dust so it's better to vacuum every day/other day. The less surfaces you have the easier it gets to clean your space, obviously mine is a lot more difficult to keep clean but I can live with it since I'm used to it.

Mat i just got the balolo desk. Large and medium. Did you varnish the balolo? The color difference is big compared to the karlby

[@mikaxmedia]

Love it man. How do you make the insane clean shots from above you setup?

[@matdilisio]

Hehe 😋 thank you so much! A combination of 60 or 30 fps + Gimbal (DJI RS-2) + slow and steady movement + convert the footage to 23,976 fps inside Premiere Pro 🤘 I recently bought the Sony A7RV, which can shoot 4k 60fps, the cleanest shots are made with that. But the majority of the video was shot with my old Sony A7RIII (now my second body camera).

[@mikaxmedia]

@@matdilisio Thank you so much 😊

[@pandadev_]

Awesome, how did you get that cool look, especially with the camera. Also, why does your Mic have so much base, It's not very comfortable to listen.

[@darthjump]

Mythbuster here, to have an active air purifying effect you would need about 1000 of those plants. But still i believe every plant more on the planet is a good thing.

[@elBlazaar]

Hi, awesome setup. One question, have you painted the drawers black? At Ikea I only see 3 options, and none of them are in black, thx!!

Do u have an actual purchasable link for the Titan Pro paint? I can’t find it anywhere. I can’t even access their website in English. Do they ship to the US? Very strange how hard it seems to purchase paint from this paint company…

[@matdilisio]

This is the link: bit.ly/44O41Nq but I'm not based in the US so I don't know if they ship there. I think they're a B2B company, since I bought their paint at a local hardware store, not online.

Wait so Matt, on your actual desk where your monitor is. Starting from right to left is. Balolo large and then beside it to the right is small? Im a little confused. Are you not using grovemade at all?

[@matdilisio]

Hi my friend 👋 In this configuration I placed the medium size balolo setup cockpit on the right of the large setup cockpit yes! The only Grovemade products I'm using here are the Extra Large Matte Desk Pad, the Pen Cup, the Small Notepad, the Wristrest, the Desk Tray and the Leather Notebook. But, I'm always changing my configuration tho.. so I might want to use different products in the future. However, I'm really enjoying the Balolo Desk Shelf, I love to hold the iPad right below the monitor 👌

[@khmatrix]

Maybe related but I feel if YT add a tagging system and channels tag themselves as what sort of niches they do, viewers can organize their video timeline better
