I’m moving into a new room and trying to figure out what color to paint the wall behind my PC setup. I already have all the furniture shown in the pictures, and the countertop is an IKEA SÄLJAN. There’ll also be a dark gray bed in the room.

I’ve attached two pictures for reference(made with chat gpt). What wall color do you think would look best with everything?(Not only the 2 shown in the pictures) Open to any suggestions!

Setup Karlby Alex set up!

After months of deciding whether I wanted a standing desk or an IKEA set up, I finally decided to just pull the trigger and get the Karlby Alex set up I'd seen so much of.

I ended up getting the longer Karlby as it was only £35 more and decided it was a good idea if I wanted to get a third monitor in the future!

The cable management certainly needs some work but just wanted to post here as I'd been lurking for a long long time, taking inspiration from a number of posters.

Desk Top: KARLBY Worktop, walnut/veneer, 246x3.8cm

Drawers x2: ALEX Drawer unit, dark grey, 36x70cm

Monitor Arms x2: HUANUO Flow Lift Pro

I ended up getting a pack of Clear Self-Adhesive Rubber Bumpers Pads from Amazon to put on the Alex drawers so that the desk won't move and so far it's worked perfectly!

Let me know what you think!
