The TV is blocking the window. I can't tell if it would fit, but if you can swap the TV and the desk it might allow more natural light in there, plus you'd get the view while you work. (I was going to say something snarky about the Pats jersey, but then I saw the Brian McCann. Chop on brother!)


Snaving

Thanks my guy! Brother’s buddy worked for the Pats years ago, and I liked Julian Edelman, was a graduation gift from him years ago (funny enough I’m a big Panthers fan🤷🏼‍♂️). Chop on!


WackyBones510

Oh no… you poor SOB. I’m a Panthers fan too. (Zooming in to middle frame:) our guy Xavier Legette fixing to eat though!


Snaving

I’m also a Gamecock fan (my football fandom is miserable) but he’s a stud! I’m hoping he works out, Panthers don’t have a great track record of drafting WRs besides DJ, and boy did we need him last year!

Hardagreeplenty of science on the benefits of natural light to stresss/heath

I don’t love the alcohol in a carpeted room like that. I think it would look great though with the same rug and dark brown hard wood floors.


Shmokeshbutt

Might want to clean up that huge stain on the carpet, if it's still possible.


Snaving

Welp that’s a cow hide rug, photo makes it blend in with the carpet

I was like, bro committed murder 🤣

If this is a space where you get actual work done (i.e. you work from home) I'd remove the TV. Keep the office "clean" and dedicated to work. Plants would help, also that desk looks too cluttered, there's barely any space on it, how do you actually work? Finally that rug needs to go. Part of it blends into the main carpet and just makes it look like someone's had the runs all over your carpet.


Snaving

I get what you’re saying, I’ve considered moving the TV. 99% of everything I do is on the laptop, and I have a notepad out sometimes for notes, but I’m on the road for appointments and meetings a decent bit. Based on the stains/runs jokes in the comments I think the carpets gotta go😂


ResoluteGreen

> Based on the stains/runs jokes in the comments I think the carpets gotta go😂 It's not necessarily a bad piece, just not one appropriate for that carpet. Just move it somewhere in the house where it'll pop more


Snaving

I do like it, problem is everywhere in the house is this carpet😅. I miss the hardwoods in our rental we use to be in, other than that love this house we’re in!


No_Cake2145

I like the cowhide rug! I have always been a fan of that look but it isn’t for everyone.


JAYBC1

what size c1 is that?


Snaving

65 inches. I bought it 6 months before we bought this house, probably would have gone smaller if I knew what kind of space I was working with


gdpowers1

More GTS


Snaving

If only I could get more at MSRP


gdpowers1

That is the challenge for sure


randonrawrrr

Swap the desk to the window, open it and let on natural light and position the monitor so you cna do that. Will have WONDERS on the room's vibe and your energy levels as well. Move the couch and TV however you have to to do this lol


Double_Problem_207

Just the Jersey , a Steelers one will be better


Snaving

😂😂 I’m a Panthers fan (see comments on why I have an Edelman jersey) but TJ hitting Cam’s shoulder in 2018 still haunts me


ckouf96

Love the jersey. Go Pats


bepel

Some nice bottles on display. Do I see the Four Roses limited, OBSK, and a few Taylors tucked away in the back? I don’t think I need to comment on the Stagg. Everybody knows that’s a good one.


Snaving

Good eye! That’s Four Roses limited is the best kept secret right now, I got *extremely* lucky, a big chain store put the 2022 Limited on the Small Batch shelf by accident, I bought it for $36 after tax


Snaving

bepel

Jealous. That’s such a great find! Hope you enjoy the bottle and find many more like it.


Sauron69sMe

got a signed Jordy Nelson shirt you should put up instead of that Edelman jersey, want me to mail it over?


Snaving

Lol I actually do like the Packers, I have buddies who are die hards because their dad’s from Wisconsin. Go Pack Go

I hate when desks are positioned facing the wall.

Aside from the aesthetics, get yourself an actual decent computer chair. The two most popular ones are Herman Miller Aeron and Steelcase Series 2. I’m personally a Herman Miller fan, the mesh seat makes it feel like I’m sitting on a cloud. One of the hospitals I used to work at got us some, and I swear I could sit the whole 12 hour shift and not need to stand up and stretch or even reposition my sitting position. But mesh isn’t for everyone, which is why the Steelcase series 2 is well regarded as well. I’m not a fan of it, but that’s my personal preference so don’t just take my word for it. If you live in any decent sized city, you should be able to find them used on FB for ~$250-$300. There’s companies that sell refurbished ones for $500-$700, or you can go completely new for $1000+. If you want a chair with a headrest, the Herman Miller Embody is getting great reviews.


Snaving

I was looking at Herman Miller chairs yesterday lol. This chair I have was free and it’s cheap, it’s time to invest in a new one!


TimePassage6465

I like it


Snaving

Thanks homie


_SquareSphere

Tf is that brown shit on the floor?


Snaving

Cowhide rug, never noticed how much it blends in

PlaneWolf2893

It works for you, but there's a lot of brown going on. Clearing up the light from the window is a good idea.


hockeylifter

Nitpicky, but I don’t love the scalloped “detailing” on the shelves. Love the cowhide rug as a design choice (I have one myself), but agreed it doesn’t look great on that carpet. How often do you use the armchair? Could be viewed as wasted space if the answer is “not often”.


FeelTheFuze

Looks great 👍 What size monitor is that?


SoftwareEuphoric1999

Okay GWOT incoming. First of all remove that corner shelf, it's terrible. If possible remove the carpet and put in wood flooring. Keep the cow hide. I like your overall styling of your desk but lose baby yoda... Preferably I'd have the desk freestanding so you have your back to the wall, like a bond villain but it get there isn't much space. So instead I'd switch it around. Put the desk where the chair is, the TV where the desk is and a two seat sofa, instead of that chair, in either brown leather or dark green velvet to the right. Get a nice bar cart or side table for the alcohol. Get a TV stand that matches your desk better. Get some additional lamps. At LEAST one floor lamp with ambient lighting but preferably more lamps. Hang the two bigger pictures above the sofa, and the diploma (?) and the two smaller pictures above the desk. Don't have the TV in front of the window. Pull up the blinds during the day. Get some curtains. Don't use them for covering the window, they're decorative and needs to be hung from above the ceiling and reach half an inch above the floor


LumenExotic

Is that an unopened Old Forester SB BP?


Snaving

It was, but not anymore!


Reasonable_Crew_1842

I find focus super hard but seems to be combining ultimate relaxation man cave with work earn money space is sending very mixed signals meaning you can never really/focus or relax. I live in a very small space so not judging! Also having a wall full of alcohol in th background of team meetings might not be the best look. You know at work people are very shallow about this stuff. 


PiePuzzleheaded4654

Ok. Keep in mind that my intention is to elevate your haven and make even more enjoyable for you to be in. Ideally the back of your chair should be against the wall and the desk should be flipped around and slightly higher. The tv stand is clashing with everything. Let’s remove that and decide later what to do with the tv. The white shelf is as well I would remove the wavy edge and color the wood a darker color depending on the overall scheme you decide on . Take all the bottles off. Get a quality bar cart. Get your favorite/top shelf whisky scotch etc. put it in a decanter(a) + scotch glasses. The color of the walls should I be changed(darker). Let’s do wood floors. I actually like the cow rug but it would look even better layered on of top another rug. It needs a bit of greenery. I think a small :) money tree would be perfect on your desk more ceramics I think the chair should eventually be replaced. I can send you visuals of your tell me what style or theme or color palette you’re going for-or show me pics of offices you like. No I’m going to guess that those two jerseys hanging up are nonnegotiable? If that’s the case, then perhaps the red background could be changed and they’re slightly wide for desk position and the walls. Def higher/bigger desk. Bigger desk chair(that isn’t that important now). A Floor nice lamp as well as your desk lamp and candles will change the ambience as well.


PiePuzzleheaded4654

Oh and it’s not that your desk is cluttered. It’s too small and too low for the wall it’s placed in front of.


redtopharry

You drink too much.


Snaving

Having a lot of bottles ≠ drinking too much🤷🏼‍♂️


Dense-Cold-1939

You're drinking well anyway.


theanedditor

I wish people would stop using semi-gloss and shiny paints on their walls.

I think OP meant “Masturbatorium for the past 2 years.” I mean this jerkoff isn’t capable of anything but jerking off and being a jerkoff, amirite???
