The desk itself is simple and dark, providing a solid contrast to the brightness outside. Its clean surface keeps the setup feeling organised and functional, with only the essentials placed within reach.…

Name: Rahul Location: Bengaluru, India Social media: Instagram Website: Hulry, Newsletter How much time did it take to create your setup?

Then, I did the bulk of the decorations or enhancements in 2022 while I was setting up a studio space for YouTube videos. I wanted to create a cosy background for my videos, so I added elements like an IKEA SKÅDIS pegboard on the wall,…
