      The plates are called "Urugustruck" by Ikea and retail about 75$ a piece, 2 water bottles are glass ones from "Chateau de l'eau" and retail about 45$ full and 38$ empty and the last one is just a regular classic Evian fruity water that you drink to reinspire yourself from time to time....that's how you should present it.

    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.

    (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.

    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.

    Yeah I really agree at 4:24 lol, like so many people add a laptop to their setup for no reason when they have a better PC just standing right in front of them lol, Nice vid lover the end results!

      Because it’s nice to have the laptop running other programs. If you’re streaming you can have your desktop running the game and the laptop off to the side with twitch and whatever else going… just because YOU don’t understand why something is the way it is doesn’t mean there isn’t a reason for it.

    As a female I feel so out of place with my idea of cozy compared to a lot of set ups I see. There’s pastels and/or and cute plushies and a certain (usually LoZ) merch. I’m dark and moody, warm wood tones and earthy colors, books, globes, maps, plants, dark academia. I want my space to scream, ’I’m a Librarian seeking the road the Hamunaptra.’

      i feel this so deeply. i’m currently setting up my gaming/pc setup and even though i love wood and green like the pastel cozy girlies, i prefer darker earth tones and black. there’s nothing wrong with their setups ofc. they’re just not my personal preference.

      @@NinnCozyGaming I still have no real solution lmao. rn I put my pc case to the left of my main screen, and its placed sideways facing that screen, so I have a little space to my left still to put my drawing tablet when I dont use it, right behind my microphone

    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!
