Whether its game dev, programming, writing, or just playing cozy games, a proper desk setup that prioritizes productivity is essential.
When it comes to my own productivity desk setup, I always leaned to the "less is more" mentality, often having almost nothing on the desk at all. After seeing a bunch of cozy desk setups, I decided to try to make a cozy desk setup for myself.
Now in these videos, the level of curation and aesthetics is unreal, and I knew I wouldn't be able to match up to these typical influencer cozy desk setups. So here was my attempt at an actually realistic cozy desk setup.
And I feel like with a cozy desk setup, I generally feel more productive because I actually enjoy sitting there! So if game development, producing devlogs, writing scripts, coding, failing at pixel art, or just playing games, I definitely feel like this desk will help optimize my productivity and creativity!
Comment down below any additions you think would help my desk setup be even cozier!

I have 3 empty water bottles and two plates on my desk
We've all been there 👀
Had a laugh at this :P
(before anything i would like to say i do like this setup i just feel a few things could elevate it)
If anything else i would say taking the time to cable manage would bring this to another level, since you are using a standing desk i would recommend buying those cable raceways that have holes through them so you can pass cables under the desk and then using some form of cable management sleeve to make it look like one giant cable over 20 million small ones if done right you can make it where there is enough slack to have the desk increase or decrease in height while allowing for a more cleaner look, another thing is for the keyboard since the cable to the keyboard is in line of sight try a coiled one after all if you cant hide something try to make it more pleasant to the eyes, and finally i would say lighting it has the power to make a setup go from bland to truly cozy but not only that but lighting can sometimes show of your own personality and tastes based off which ones you pick since this is a cozy aesthetic warm lighting is obviously going to be the better choice of the two.
you could hang the powerstrip to the bottom of the desk and only have a couple cables going to the pc
I had the same problem with wires, and while its not perfect becouse of the slack like you mentioned, but what i did is i used a couple of cableties to have one big "braid" of cables instead of them all hanging separately. It makes cable management look much better and accumulates a lot less dust.
That's a good idea, thanks!
You really did what everyone wanted to do after watching those cozy setup videos haha!
woah ur place is so nice, i love the warmth 👌
Thank you!
I love COZY videos ❤
dope apartment and setup. I'm jealous.
Thanks, definitely took some time to get the vibe down!
i think u miss a good light like yellow cozy light on your desk
I laughed everytime "thocc" came up on the screen. IDK why but as an indoctrinated cozy girl, it is true the keyboard has to thocc.
How about doing something with this wall? It's not the greatest color, it's damaged in several places and just not match desk and setup. I would put some panels on the wall (parts of the wall), maybe some kind of acoustic panels with wood. That will add to coziness and also decrease noise (less reflections). I totally disagree on plants - fake plats are ugly. It's much better with real ones. Risk of water leak is quite low and beside - there is nothing (except desk itself) that might be damaged by it. And You can always buy plants that require low amount of water - that way You water them with less water thus lowering chance of leak/problem.
But I guess, workspace setup is a topic for itself, where every person has own preferences. At the end it's You who have to feel it :)
Thanks for the suggestions! Unfortunately I can't modify the wall too much since I rent the place, so mostly low touch options!
