It's a new year and another office setup is here. I've tweaked my office space to allow more usable desk area, as well as added a storage and photo/unboxing surface. I've also redesigned the look, going away from my dark black wall and focused on white and walnut wood tones.

[@joel1974]

Sweet transformation! My room is similar in size & its amazing to see how you've maximised your space

[@gayatrivadlamani4437]

I like your placement of the desk, with a full view of the room instead of being riled up against one wall!

[@HevaNaisdey]

Love the planning that went into this transformation 👏

[@Lordxfx]

I loooove the colour scheme of your office setup. White, gray and wood what a killer combi.

[@0x007A]

Today, my home office was reorganised to maximise the open space and take care of some long overdue spring cleaning. It figuratively felt like a completely different room. Removal of the sit-stand desk, opting to use only the static sitting desk, enabled this room "renovation." A raised shelf, for the 38-inch monitor, added to the desk creates a more airy appearance and a convenient place to store the keyboard and mouse beneath the shelf. Having an aesthetically-clean surface at the front of the desk is essential when I am reviewing documents, reading, or writing cursively.

[@johnlam4470]

Looks modern yet warm ! Great job!

[@christian-k]

Your setup looks really amazing and sleek. Great composition of all the elements. Makes me want to restructure my setup.

[@brentstwocents]

The screw mounted magnets for the cable tray is pure genius! I’m borrowing that idea for my desk. Thanks.

[@maphekomoloto2961]

clean and beautiful modern office, I love it.

[@politestream]

love your setup!!! it was a big inspiration for how my setup evolved over the course of a year into the creative environment it is today, thank you for the inspiration!!!

[@icvu-mh8ds]

Wow, So good the design, clean simple and delighted, most important of all white color background.

[@myeroku4182]

Great inspiration and awesome ideas. My space is smaller in size and you gave me great ideas to maximize my space further. Thank you for sharing.

[@torril4904]

Wow! Nice set up. I love your motivational Sign! "Wake Up, etc."🥰

[@impurityK]

Absolutely stunning!

[@RiminiVirage]

First class, great taste, beautiful office layout. Very good commentary. Nicely done.

[@marcp7719]

Very modern and unique look, fantastic video 🔥

[@bitether2096]

Awesome setup, thanks for sharing!!

[@uhyanyan]

This was great, inspired a few ideas for my own set up! Appreciate the product references

[@atramagast]

Just saw this older video but gotta say this is one of the best office set ups I’ve seen so far and I’ve seen quite a bit……outstanding job.

[@martinsoppa]

You definitely have now much more light in your room! I like your setup :D

[@jansteinke137]

Really clean setup like the color match with white and walnut and the quality fantastic keep going 💪🏼🔥

[@danmyers2759]

2021 office looked great too!

[@degs88]

Love the setup look and aesthetic 👍👍👍

[@georgewashington7251]

I really like this setup and his approach.

[@Jordiephotography]

unbelievable... every time I search for inspiration I see something what I never would have thought. Its So clean..! thanks for the great vid.. 👌👌

[@bamitsmanas]

Mathew Encina vibes!! Good stuff

[@pwisc2115]

Beautiful man. Thanks for sharing

[@dinesh.m7341]

neat and peaceful, great work

[@MrGanbat84]

I love this table made in China. Very nice I have been using it 2 years. Never change with other table. But mine is 5 cm thick wooden top

[@Jim-ub9qy]

Beautifully done! Would be very productive space for me.

[@SamCambetis]

Love the white and walnut!

[@leonprinz6241]

unreal stuff walnut and white is always easy on the eyes

[@Ghostzy01]

Dope video, nicely done and I like the new office set up.

[@ejsalazar]

This is so clean and I really like the idea of the “desk extension”

[@scriptedpies]

Wow, it looks really modern and sleek, good job

[@kaifuzzy1]

absolutely beautiful video keep up the good content 😀

[@quantumrider5781]

I love the design and the feel it creates. Amazing setup.

[@DNChromatic]

Glad you like it!

[@inspector-tech]

Finally! Glad to see someone else rockin’ those Colebrooke Bosson Saunders Flo stands! I’ve got three of them on my desk. They’re absolutely brilliant! Expensive though ;-)

[@karitokratos9045]

love it much... im praying that i can have this one...

[@madisonszabo1194]

the best studio setup video ive seen yet!!!

[@MestreMur]

Great set up..., also, a few out there with printer and real plants... Perfect!

[@chaplinesque111]

Great job man!

[@steftech.visuals]

SUUppperrrr nice setup, very inspiring ! Cheers from France, and a new subscriber !

[@93200Jonas]

Most beautifull colors associations 've seen, walnut + white desk, maybe add some blue ink or deep blue somewhere. Great inspiration.

[@Cynos_3D]

Hell yeah, White and Walnut, so glad i ditched black cabinets in the living room, they ate up so much of my ambient lighting. My pc peripherals are still black so they contrast nicely. :D

[@themrgumbatron]

love your videos!

[@tedsamachannel360]

nicely done!

[@chrisfaron]

Some really great ideas

[@sarahjane9517]

The room looks amazing. I am in awe the change that was made when you changed from black to white shelves! Massive opening. Question about the anchorWork all in one: do use that as your microphone for these videos as well? Or is your preference other equipment?

[@luanvu6266]

Great video! Keep up the amazing work.

[@DNChromatic]

🙏🏼

[@King12Daniel]

Excellent! Everything! I am so subbed! :)

[@gingersnaps7186]

Really nice man

[@MartinBetterton]

amazing bro im inspired cant wait to make my own upgrades really dig the wood on top of the toy bin! nice touch

[@DNChromatic]

Thanks Martin

[@abogadocarajillero3169]

One word: WOW.

[@jholid6y]

Ty for the inspo.

[@DNChromatic]

🙏🏼

[@rinse3x]

this video was very satisfying for my ocd

[@louielahoye9625]

HOLY #### This room is great

[@CombatBanana]

Nice Sundaras! I have the same phones and I'm in love

[@KingChong83]

Great video - lots of ideas for my home office. Only concern would be having a traditional HDD connected to a surface with movement (standing desk) - might cause the read head to hit the spinning platter and lead to potential data loss. Other than that - awesome office!

[@harmony3395]

Nice. Like the uncluttered feel to it. Not sure I could maintain it!

[@olegyamleq7796]

looks greattttttttttttttttttt, great job!!!!!!!!! Upvoted!!!

[@jcruz2255]

Such a great idea with the toy chest!

[@DNChromatic]

I really like it. Larger than I thought it'd be.

[@ivancito7712]

Good job!!

[@piplup10203854]

Dang! This is super clean! Alright! This is the kind of flow and setup I’m going for. I been trying to pinpoint a setup but I struggle immensely to narrow things down enough to a design that I’m satisfied with. There aren’t a lot of items on my desk but it always feels cluttered and I’d love to cut my wires down cause there’s so many 🥴

[@DNChromatic]

Yes, less is definitely better. I still think I have too many things.

[@piplup10203854]

@@DNChromatic Right, I agree. That is what I'm finding out works for me, the less visual noise the better. I don't need a lot. I definitely feel I got too many things as well, I feel that lol

[@spd_st0ry761]

Looks awesome thumbs UP

[@ivangr3470]

Great video!

[@tulatalu]

Very nice design

[@Yumilipop]

For me too

[@krisevneri8280]

You can immediately see that you are investing thought in the details, it is very inspiring...

[@DNChromatic]

🙏🏼

[@raihanjumat1152]

Lovely video. Succinct and non-preachy, yet full of gems!

[@DNChromatic]

I appreciate that!

[@user-tq9ud2ob9e]

Bravo! i am ready, the only thing left is one flat.

[@toddjennings9548]

Everyone seems to pair walnut with black in their desk set up video, so I appreciate pairing walnut with white instead, very refreshing!

[@DNChromatic]

I thought that too.

[@brandon_wallace]

Those live plants are the best. I'll give you bonus points for the live plants.

[@dannywinget]

Dang this is too clean! Great setup.

[@DNChromatic]

Thanks Danny!

[@PWingert1966]

A similar name we might be distant cousins!

[@ICANPUBLICATION]

waaaooo. realy amazing....

[@luckyjain8382]

3:00 -- shelves for corner 4:51 -- Wrist rest 5:43 -- Monitor mount

[@rajdz]

Cool set up 😎 one thing I can't find is the Wake up frame, where did you buy that from? Thanks

[@lolobee5781]

Love!

[@aqeel-3771]

All it needs is relaxing music.

[@PWingert1966]

Another item for cable management is a cable spine. It allows you to both hide the cables and it's designed to work with the desk so vertical runs from the desk have a flexible spine that encapsulates them. Mine is mounted beside a Power bar in a blu-lounge box that conceals the Power bar (I have a cat so stuff must be concealed for safety). check with your desks vendor to find one of the spines.

[@DNChromatic]

Awesome. I actually did get one, but didn't end up doing so, I only had one cable going to the floor. I still might use it.

[@PWingert1966]

@@DNChromatic You could also consider a floor outlet that the spine fits over. They make one that is power and data as well.

[@PWingert1966]

@Lothar Lustig Soylent Green is real.

[@yif2952]

that's awesome

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

This office is beautiful! Though I did have to give a giggle at the "Wake up, kick ass, repeat" sign. I think that's become the men's version of the "live, laugh, love" sign 😅. But if it motivates and speaks to you, that's awesome.

[@qf3180]

great looking setup. quick question - what's your chair? Would you recommend it?

[@MrHeretrix]

Primo design bruh. Very nice.

[@DavidTurner11]

1) First office video I've seen featuring a printer 2) One of the rare few to use Windows 3a) Where did you mount your Belkin dock? 3b) How do you like the Belkin dock?

[@kauwabinga]

very nice 👌🏻

[@TafadzwaChabvonga]

Great layout, what is the walnut desktop you have?

[@miguelnunoborgesvigo598]

What's that thing that you put on the toy drawer under the Photography gear? Love the video

[@sharonj.heffernan7688]

and basil!!!

[@khaihzmn8254]

Matthew Encina video style! Btw nice video.

[@LaLa-le4ki]

Nice

[@MTobin1000]

You've done a beautiful job reorganizing your office. I really like the layout and your attention to detail is precise. Nicely done. At the end of your video you show a black briefcase for a few seconds (Almost like you're about to do a product review) What kind of briefcase is that? I really like the look of it. It works perfectly with the aesthetics of your office. well done, my friend.

[@DNChromatic]

Thank you. That’s from Grams28, I have a discount code in the description 👍🏼

[@delrio1984]

Nice office.. love the color pallete. QQ, what size is the walnut cover you put on top of the IKEA toy storage to make it fit perfectly?

[@ahmadali1758]

Wow.

[@uhjey7795]

That transition into the sponsorship section was amazing. First time I actually enjoyed watching a sponsorship segment.

[@DNChromatic]

Glad you thought so!

[@inzaghi9926]

NICE

[@defu8592]

Oh nice to see someone with the craft keyboard, do you think it was a worthy investment over the mx keys? Or would you change if you could go back? Thanks! Beautiful space brother!

[@LaLa-le4ki]

Cool

[@GTR72]

That monitor riser takes up so much desk space and it's not even rising anything. If you mount the dock under the desk and get rid of it, the setup will look even better imo

[@DNChromatic]

Will consider it!

[@jeglikertog]

I'm sure someone already commented on it, but I am sleep-deprived, and can't be bothered to read through 118 comments to see if it's stated. Putting some thin, rubber pads, or similar high friction, soft material, under the wooden plate you put on your "toy cabinet" would both make it feel a lot more locked in place and sturdy, while also reducing chances of any residue + movement causing scratches in the finish of the cabinet. Otherwise, very clean and thorough setup! Really love the idea of using magnets to fasten the channel cover at the back of the desk!

[@underthesunhoney3826]

Very cool! What is the square footage of your office?
