My simple and budget friendly desk makeover 2024

[@nickdesgn]

Guys I apologize for the audio if the music is too loud or my voice too low. This was my first vid and I'm still learning how to edit properly😭 Thanks for watching tho!

[@flowcsgo804]

Dont worry man, video is good! :)

[@firippu2808]

It was a great vid man, this was the first time I've seen someone buy the top of the desk and the frame separately, I think it was really smart! stole the words right outta my mouth at 2:28 😂

[@nickdesgn]

@@firippu2808 Thanks my guy!!

[@reneprieto9418]

it was excelent

[@RemyShoots]

great video!

[@2p2hong]

I love how you use every pieces possible to save money and still have a clean and simple work space, it's awesome man.

[@nickdesgn]

Thank you my man!🙏🏼

[@raghavgoel497]

Save money ! bro u should see some indian set ups videos which are just made under 100 bucks 😅😅.

[@ericmharper]

piece*, not pieces

[@cavitied874]

Every minimalistic person's dream

[@tacotuesday78]

I love how this video isn't over the top like certain setup videos where they spend 10k on a pc, accessories, and cover the whole thing in RGB. Yours is much more realistic and minimal, great job!

[@nickdesgn]

I appreciate that! Glad you liked it. That was the first thing I noticed too when watching other setup videos. Hopefully this vid proves you don't need expensive stuff or crazy accessories to make your own setup!

[@Tactical_Trees]

thats what I saying yo don't need to spend money on things that you don't even use the full extent of

[@capitanwinters4422]

Sobretodo rgb , no se para que tanta luz con brillitos

[@Homeandhustlediaries]

Black, graphite grey and walnut is the ultimate masculine color palette.

[@andrejpadilha]

Perfect! A lot of setups on KZbin are 100% focused on selling with afilliated links, not on functionality or aesthetics. This one is really down to Earth (in a perfect way), functional, beautiful! Looking to do something similar in a near future. Congratulations! 😁

[@ericmharper]

in the* near future is the expression

[@MJCes]

I like the simplicity of the setup and your honesty in choosing the products. Thanks for this inspiration.

[@trapz5451]

This setup is clean and simple. This is what setups most people want. Kudos

[@nickdesgn]

Appreciate you brother!🙏🏼

[@ericmharper]

the*, not "what", setup*, not "setups"

[@itsRuYT]

This is so clean. Amazing video showing each step you took to build it. Really satisfying to watch!

[@nickdesgn]

I appreciate the comment, glad you enjoyed it!🙌🏽

[@jibrilamvs]

I love how this setup isn't covered in RGB lights. I see a lot of people doing this and I just think; "why? Those just turn your 'clean' setup into an eyesore." Nice, clean, simple. Good creation.

[@nickdesgn]

Thanks for the kind words! Happy you enjoyed it and hopefully you got some good inspiration for yours🙌🏽

[@PayMeToThrow]

I have an rgb strip running along the wall side of my desk. I have it set on cycling pastel colors and it just adds ambient light that no one would say looks "gamer". Just looks like the desk is glowing.

[@nickdesgn]

@@PayMeToThrow The ambient light is key! Sounds like a cool setup

[@vali69]

I've personally moved away from rgb led strips to a monitor lamp like in the video and I don't regret it one bit. It's so much better and the light shines in a useful place, I love it.

[@nickdesgn]

@@vali69 exactly, you explained it perfectly👌 Monitor lamps are a must

[@puch9830]

Great clean setup! My professor told me the best is to have window on your left or right from your setup because if its in front it hits your eyes so they strain to see what is on monitor and if its from back it hits your minitor so they strain again

[@Ah22872]

That looks so pretty!! I don't see enough people talking about the videoraphy! The video is beautifully filmed and put together. Super underrated channel!!

[@MiningForPies]

Never go budget on a chair. Anything else can be as cheap as you want. Your 65 year old self will thank you.

[@nickdesgn]

You know what, this is actually facts. Same thing goes with your bed, pillows, etc. The amount of time spent using it is worth the $$$

[@MiningForPies]

@@nickdesgn I know that for a fact. My bed is awful, can’t afford to replace it at the moment and it’s causing me no ends of trouble!

[@theabyssaldemon]

reading this as I rub my neck and listen to my chair squeak and creek :(

[@nickdesgn]

@@F-I-N-E-R Never thought of that but I may just give it a try! Thanks for the tip!

[@xanakonesyphanthong_01]

I agree with you, I used to spend time in front of the computer 10-14 hours a day almost every day for almost 2 months. My back muscles are inflamed because I use a wooden chair and nothing supports my back. The inflammation was so severe that I could not sit down when I have meals. I told myself that I would never do that again and I won't go on a budget on chair because it was a very painful time.

[@kapoukapoioskapote]

Cozy setup, minimal and down to earth vibes, I hope more videos come from you man!

[@nickdesgn]

I appreciate that man! Thanks for the kind words🙏🏼

[@SonnyWallace250]

wow i did not think this was your first video its really good i love it

[@CreativeThinking52]

Very helpful. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day. 👍

[@REANS]

8/10 set up. Clean, simple, colour matching, and perfect. If it comes to me, I wouldn't place it behind the window since I have trust issues for whatever reason rain drops might leak. I love everything else tbh.

[@nickdesgn]

8/10 i'll take that!🍻 Appreciate it!

[@marcusblenkinsop9100]

Clean setup! Appreciate the realistic budget friendly approach, im thinking of going for the Karlby kitchen worktop for my desk setup too :)

[@nickdesgn]

Thanks! The Karlby checks all the boxes of size, look, and durability in my opinion so def worth it👊

[@Baby_Jeebus]

“Budget friendly” bros budget was 1000 bucks for a desk setup when he already had one

[@oliver.n278]

@@nickdesgn Isnt' the depth of 25" a little to small? At least it was for me, thats why i sold mine again and got a real desk top with 31 inches (80cm)

[@debnn4854]

Love the countertop and set up. My setup will be similar. Thanks. 🖐

[@alwin5995]

Awesome video. Just makes sure, during rainy season moisture doesnt get in from the windows behind, everything else is perfect.

[@LibertyTGP]

good job, great video !

[@nickdesgn]

Thank you!!

[@colbyberger1881]

Clean, simple, affordable, nice job

[@TacticalPanda171]

great set up bro. love that you kept it low budget .exactly wat i am trying to do to get my office a start.

[@nickdesgn]

Thanks bro! Glad you liked it, hyped to hear you're starting yours🙌🏽

[@tokiofall]

You came up in recommendations! I watched your video and I liked the end result. I see you from Mexico, good luck friend. 🫶🏼

[@nickdesgn]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for sticking around until the end🙏🏼

[@Usman_sm]

Night view is gorgeous!

[@fkvdmark]

Nice video with lots of usable tips! Love the final result.

[@nickdesgn]

Thank you!🙏

[@jawwadislam2842]

This video gave me some inspiration for my desk setup as well. Thank You!

[@Matt-ux8hh]

The reason that they make the edge banding larger than the width of the board is so that you can cut it down for a more professional finish... at least that's why I think they do it. Also, if you notice there is a slight chamfer on the edge of the board. You will need a router and a small chamfer bit (looks like 1/4") to get the same edging all the way around the board.

[@nickdesgn]

Damn makes sense, thanks for the tip!

[@mor1chx]

simple yet awesome

[@sourcream1671]

it's amazing how you went from an extremely messy setup to something that is both cheap and nice looking

[@nickdesgn]

My old setup had no storage so it truly always looked like that. Now all that mess hides in the Alex drawer 😂 Appreciate the comment!

[@oxcarzz]

The setup looks so cool and chill, I probably would have used the laptop as a secondary screen for background apps like discord or spotify

[@nickdesgn]

Damn good idea! Thanks for watching and for the nice comment🙌🏽

[@revanispunk]

man huge W setup, the simpliest i've seen so far, and looks pretty good

[@nickdesgn]

I appreciate the comment!

[@davebudah]

Its a cool setup.

[@nickdesgn]

I appreciate it!

[@adorn834]

Thanks for the video man! Really like the color choice and how clean the overall setup is, quite the vibe you got going. This will serve as inspiration for my own setup soon when I get the chance to do a makeover.

[@manumudgal5776]

This is perfect setup with all essential things. I learnt something.⭐

[@nickdesgn]

Thanks! Happy to hear

[@vikterstein9053]

nice setup. I have the M1 too and I think you're really going to enjoy it.

[@ThirCai]

very impressive makeover ! enjoy it bro

[@Gero141]

Simple and Clean. Love what you did with the monitor stand.

Appreciate that! Might make a video explaining how I made it!

You put all my thoughts into life by putting this together 🔥 I LOVE it!! Can’t way to do mine now 😎

[@Дмитрий-м4щ7х]

It looks nice in my opinion

[@jalenmoore3799]

Budget-friendly. Asethicly pleasing. Minimal yet pratical. Well done!!

Gosh dang this setup looks attractively good. 😍

[@nickdesgn]

Haha thank you!!

[@mrdextrous355]

this set up here is the level im on currently. Im in the process of starting my own KZbin channel in the coming weeks and i i currently live in shared accommodation with five other housemates. My room is a decent size but just enough room to have a foldable desk and chair to alllow myself to create content so im starting off very cheap like under £100 for the desk set up but its a start so seeing this is inspiring me to start off small and get more creative allong the way. Love this and keep on building, you're doing brilliant 👍

[@nickdesgn]

I appreciate that! I feel you man, this setup and youtube channel was something ive wanted to do for the past few years, just never had the resources. So I started small, saved up, and finally got the chance to begin. It'll all work out for you just keep working towards it🙏🏼

[@vanshitaarora3713]

man Lovely video. I hate to see so less subscribers. Loved the content. Looking forward to more of it!

[@nickdesgn]

I appreciate the kind message! Just started this channel a few days ago so I've got tons of work to do!

[@MaxPorter101]

Great editing, keep it up!

Dude, i was looking around for upgrade my setup then find Ikea's kitchen working plan was using for desk setup but it was too long for me too... i never thought about cutting it to make it shorter and using the left piece for a shell... You are a genius, thanks for the idea ! 👍
