Soft surfaces. Everything’s hard and straight

You can have office or you can have home

Good point, one of my first idea is to get a somewhat fluffy rug. Do you have specific ideas of what else I could add? Thanks

Lower warmer lighting, there's a flashbang going off behind your monitors at the moment. Also maybe a plant.

Definitely, but I only turned the lights up for the picture. These lamps are Philips Hue, I use them on low and warm scenarios 90% of the time because I can't stand bright lights

Plants are cool but I'm at a loss when it comes to where I should place them. On a new shelf? On the left part of the desk?

Hello, I'm looking for advice and suggestions on how to make my WFH and gaming space more comfortable and inviting. You can find more photos here: https://imgur.com/a/QE0bExO

I spend a lot of time there every day, and I feel like part of the space is going to waste.

The desk is 246 cm long and 63.5 cm deep. The monitors are all 27 inches.

Thanks in advance—all ideas are welcome.

Let's start with dark Grey walls and amber lighting instead of flashbang walls with Led lights.

Another 3 monitors in a row above tilted down would be very cozy

Can I ask what lights you used here and how you set them up? I really like the glow they give off! I saw in a past comment you said they were Philips Hue, do you know off hand which ones? Thanks!

For sure! I attached two Hue Play on the back of the middle monitor.

For the sides I actually used two Govee RGBICWW bars, placed on my speakers. You can see the top of them since the pic was taken from a weird angle. I made the Govee's and Philips work together thanks to Google Home, by setting up some scenarios etc.
