I finally built the NYC home office I spent years telling myself I didn't need... and now I'm terrified I'm going to design it wrong. Right now it's a blank canvas. White walls, empty space, feels more like a museum with a desk and chair than an actual home office.
But there are a few pieces I already can't live without:
IKEA storage module (dark yellow-green)
5-drawer stainless steel pivot cabinet
Husky drawer (a genuine buy-for-life)
Govee Lyra floor lamp
IKEA VARMBLIXT donut lamp
Nanoleaf tube light
The walls are still blank though, so I need your help: what's the first thing you'd put up? Drop it in the comments, I'm taking notes.
Subscribe if you're building a better life in your space too, more of the office build coming soon.
