Hasta La Ideas

This week’s Workspace of the Week is JustS’ space to work and play:

My favorite part of this office is its use of vertical space. This is a pretty narrow room, yet it has a full desk and bike storage in it. The file holders on the wall are also great for getting paperwork off the desktop when it’s not needed. The shelf behind the laptop and the task lighting is nice, too. Between the two pictures, the printer appears to move from the left side of the desk and into the corner (replacing a cat bed). Both options are nice and work well for this space, since that big corner of the desk is rather difficult to reach from the desk chair. Thank you, JustS, for submitting your office to our Flickr pool.

This week’s Workspace of the Week is YinYang’s new home office:

The windows in this Australian office are downright blissful. To be honest, the office could be outfitted with a card table and a broken chair and I’d have still likely featured it. However, it is much more than pretty windows, it is a wonderfully streamlined desk and office space that would make work very simple to complete. The monitor is on a telescoping arm that makes adjusting it and pushing it back off the desk space possible. All of the equipment needed on a daily basis is within immediate reach and nothing else appears to be cluttering up the work surface. When summer heads to the southern hemisphere, I would love to see an image of those windows open — I imagine it has to be a glorious space to work then, too.

This week’s Workspace of the Week is PeterW89′s glass office:

This office space caught my eye for three reasons. The first reason is because I love the gutter at the back of the desk that holds up the cables and keeps them from being a tangled mess. The second reason is that the adjustable arm on the monitor makes it possible for the monitor to be pushed back to free up desk top workspace when necessary. The third reason isn’t featured in this image, but can be seen in this one. The white board mounted to the wall is a great way to share information or see information in a new perspective. Thank you, PeterW89, for sharing your terrific space with us.

This week’s Workspace of the Week is Breez110′s streamlined setup:

As is apparent in this week’s office, wireless touch pads, keyboards, and mice can make a significant difference in uncluttering a desk. Then, having speakers and monitors toward the back of the desk, makes it easy to hide the cables that are part of your setup. Breez110 has run all the cables across the back edge of the desk, down the legs of the desk, and then very nicely along the floorboards. The lack of device cables, coupled with excellent cable control on the devices that have them, make this a truly blissful space. It’s a blank slate that is ready for whatever work is thrown at it. Gorgeous. Thank you, Breez110, for your submission to our Flickr pool.

This week’s Workspace of the Week is NKeppol’s home studio:

I love NKeppol’s description for why there are two desks in this space for only one user:

The Aria desk holds two screens hooked up to a Mac Pro for digital work. To keep the Aria from catching the wrath of xacto blades and ink spills, I opted for a two desk setup, using the Ikea desk as the art table.

Knowing how you work is a requirement for setting up an uncluttered and organized space because you know exactly what you need and why. I also appreciate the drafting tools as artwork hanging on the wall, the shelf with a magnetic front is perfect for holding more tools and visual references, and the magazine pockets attached to the wall are another fantastic use of vertical space. I even love how the spray adhesive looks like an art element on the top shelf. NKeppol mentioned in the comments to the image on Flickr that he plans to lay a carpet between the two desks — I think it is a great idea and will protect the gorgeous wood floors. Thank you, NKeppol, for submitting your office to our Flickr pool.
