Suggestions for taking up space on my desk?

I'm planning on getting an led strip around the back and im getting a mic stand on the left side. 

I'm generally going with a black, red and white theme but you can see that has not gone incredibly well other than my pc and the monitor stand design which isnt visible because of how low my monitor is.

sorry but i didnt try make it pretty for ya  Just finished moving my desk and cleaning it

That glare though...

 

Get a printer? Or some kind of crazy art piece. I bought a little statue of mini Groot for my desk. It was a nice addition.

I don't think I see speakers, AudioEngine A5's? Or A2+'s with the base?

Is the unused portion of the desk longer? The tower looks awkward as hell that close to you.

my desk is mostly bare with whatever project i am currently working on. my tools are on the shelf below and all my knives, pens, screws etc are in shelves below

a few desk plants? even if they are fake. maybe even a pad of paper. you have no idea how useful and convenient it is to have something that you can just write stuff down on

i use pens and a pad of paper to sketch and record measurements for wood working projects. they are also good for marking cut lines on the wood itself.

Haha, yeah I was just bugging you. I love pens. I try to write something every day so that I don't look like a total idiot when I have to fill out Customs paperwork. You don't use carpenters pencils?

I would probably get a nice TV on the angled portion for watching movies on or playing *shudder* console games

I know this is from ages ago. Anyway. I got a mic stand, chucked a plant to the left of it. I have speakers in front of my monitor and since I have rotated the cupboard to the right of my desk so the PC can sit sideways on it without me smashing my hand into the case  I made those changes like 5hours after this post once I realised how awkward it was.

Yea cheers, again, late reply but I thought I should  I chucked on a plant and I've got a load of paper notes in one of my drawers that I use all the time.

I have a shitty small TV that might be a start... Thanks for the suggestion, it will fit nicely there.

Sorry for bumping the thread. I don't know how frowned upon it is here but I'm not tooooo late, right?

Thanks for all the suggestions.
