    Anyway, shelving now up (standing against the wall behind me) so just the painting to go! Annoying that I couldn't decorate at the outset due to my health/condition, but so be it.

    Shelves/ racks look great! What are they?
    I’m thinking of building some shelving to store the numerous guitar amps I seem to have accumulated!

    Does look very good indeed, I agree.

    Now Tony has to move larger items between calls and see if anyone notices.

    A previous boss used to have a range of books behind them & his team were all looking to see what titles they were.

    He was a marketing genius, but had a prominent Marketing for Dummies book always visible.

    I have some pretty racy books actually, Matt, and am hoping nobody has read all the titles

    Haha brilliant, love that!

    I’m actually preferring my curtain drawn and using ambient outside light through the fabric & the light bar. I’m south facing in my office window so when it’s bright it’s a shocker, but can’t rotate the house in the afternoon unfortunately.

    Finally...

    Painted what for now is an accent wall. Likelihood is that I'll paint all the walls with this colour but I just want to make sure that I'm happy to do that.

    Sorry, missed this!

    I’m loving the view from your seat, it’s perfect & the speakers, lights and monitor set up is something I’m jealous of. Especially the twin lights!

    The colour is cracking, different and yet familiar, could spend hours in there without issue - wondering if mine is now too plain / light.

    However if the whole office gets painted the same, there is no feature wall. Not a bad thing, as I think the colour is a lovely place to work from.

    You’ve created a lovely work / home place that is for sure amazing. The monitor light challenged me to find a better solution & I love it, almost can’t wait for winter to use it properly!

    Looks great, very nice place to work. Out of interest, how are you getting on with the keyboard?

    Thanks, and I love it. Wouldn't think of using the Apple keyboard now.

    The shelves are from Dunelm - the Fulton. If I were you I'd look at Ikea, though (I probably should have done as well.

    The helmet racks are made by Sealey.
