My Home Office Desk Setup

We have come far since 2020 when we had to create makeshift home offices on our dining tables. Nowadays, lots of us still work from home in one capacity or another, and through time we have graduated to an actual desk. I currently work in a company with a hybrid format, where I can go into the office when I want, and the rest of the time I work remotely, mainly from home. And since moving to a new country I redid almost all of my home office setup.

An overview of my desk.

Essentials

Desk

IKEA Rodulf Standing desk — I decided on a standing desk because everyone says there are health benefits. It’s also quite a nice size!

Monitor

Dell U2415 — This was a gift from my landlady, and I could only find the newer version of it on the Dell website, but it’s the same one I have. I really like the screen size, it’s not the biggest but it’s more than enough :D

Lamp

IKEA Tertial work lamp — Everyone needs a good desk lamp, this one attaches to your desk which is great, and it has a good size too.
