Cool Workspaces
May 9, 2007 by Oli · 68 Comments
Designers need somewhere great to work to do their best work – be it a desk with 4 huge screens and a mountain of technical equipment or a laptop sat in your garden it helps the creative process along. Here we scour the internet for examples of workspaces; some good, some bad, some cluttered, some clean – we take a nosey at where we people are doing their work …
Today’s post is due to the fact that I have recently acquired a larger room which I will be moving my office into, and I need a bit of inspiration. Having looked at hundreds of workspaces on Flickr and other sites, one really stood out for me so this is crowned as the best workspace. It belongs to Jacob Dehart, vice president of Threadless.com :
Which is your favourite ? If any readers would like to share a photo of their workspace then feel free – its always interesting to see how other people work.

About Oli
I tend to prefer less space for some reason.
So the pictures above with real tight space are enticing to me.
This is my Work Space at the cube farm I call work.

Okay some of these people are freakin’ rich. And are all designer’s this tidy? I’m not so maybe I’m not a a true designer…
*sigh*
haha yeah, some seem to have spent a fortune on their offices.
As soon as I make my first million on the internet I’ll send you a pic of my new pad.
I dont necessarily think that you have to spend loads to have a stylish office – for instance I plan to build my next desk – I like to have a really big desk and it would be too expensive to buy what I have in mind.
See this post for how to create your own desk : http://www.cameronmoll.com/archives/000058.html
Nice blend of spaces!
Oli’s got a point. Some imagination can create a great environment. Building your own desk sounds like a good project. Check this out: http://www.rawprojects.org/html/materials.html
Very cool. Here’s mine. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/75046666@N00/sets/72157594435152526/]
Some nice workspaces. I bet these all got a good tidy before their shots were taken
This is my home workspace:

Even though the Mac platform represents a tiny overall share of the computer market, these very stylish spaces seem to be over-represented by Apple users. My theory is that people who choose to buy a Mac tend to be more style-conscious than their PC counterparts. That’s not to say that PC folks don’t know style. Just to say how interesting to see people who appreciate aesthetics disproportionately buy Macs compared to the overall market and that it’s reflected in how they arrange their work environments.
2 cool!!!
I was going to quote it.
Gary Horsman –
I think it’s more likely that people who can afford Apple computers and peripherals are more likely to be able to have a huge office with only a small desk in the corner.

These babies must cost much.

Not as cool as many of the others, but very comfortable!
Really cool photos, thanks.A workspace like in third picture would be great(as much as cool).
Here a picture of my boring work space…

Thanks for the inspiration. I’m struggling to organise my home office and this has given me some great ideas.
I love the one with the glass walls and fantastic view and also the outdoor one with the view of the pool. But, anything would be an improvement compared to what I have now.
doesn’t have to big! small but comfortable work space is the best for me… thanks for the post.

wow this was really inspiring! i like the one where the entire room is empty apart from a massive tv and an L shaped desk thats really clean and tidy.
no clutter means less to confuse the workflow!
So awesome. I would kill for some of those setups!
Nice!
Just one thing: Cool Workspaces without a Mac aren’t cool
Very nice compilation, here’s mine

Also, I made a video of my home office here:
http://www.davidpitlyuk.com/2007/06/01/my-home-office-video-edition/
really enjoyed seeing this because i’ve been giving lots of thought to my workspace lately.
It’s definitely true that a clean environment equates to a clean mind equates to better work.
Very Nice.
Seeing these pictures makes me both salivate like a rabid dog and get really jealous at the same time, which makes me feel somewhat unsatisfied… deep down.
but then again i have transformers in my workspace… so.. yeah. the feeling of satisfaction returns.

My little workspace [http://lisabettany.wordpress.com/]
very inspirational to say the least. I’ve just moved into a new home office and am setting up the workspace – might have inspired a new blog entry

I love it: found some other desk’s here:

Wow that one where its a big empty room with a desk in one corner and a TV on the wall… what i’d give for that much space over here in Hong Kong!!
I just posted my workspace setup:
http://brianbreslin.com/2007/08/17/where-i-work-my-desk/
I, for one, do appreciate these. As a wannabee web-designer, I have to take advantage of every plus I can. And I’ve found one of those pluses is a well organized, comfortable and visually appealing work area. My “real” job is as a helicopter mechanic, and those points I just described are essential. If my toolbox is a mess and disorganized, I can’t find what I need and it just slows me down. It’s the same thing with my computer and work desk. How many times have I had to take 30 minutes or more to clear off bills or the kids’ latest cheat codes? Or get my work area just comfortable enough to work in? By the time I’ve got everything ready I’ve usually lost my train of thought or at the very least wasted valuable time.

Nice collection, but now when you need computer with Internet connection you can work anywhere, of course if you need strong server farms in your work then you must seet in some basement.

Shoemoney can just sit back and relax, play his xbox 360 whilst he’s working, im so jealous
