  • We finally finished our home office makeover!!!
    It is for two people, on a low budget, mainly using IKEA/ home depot items.
    A bit of customization/diy design to make it really our own space.
    Hope it will inspire you!

    我們終於完成了居家辦公室的空間改造!
    預算吃緊,所以改造用了不少ikea/home depot的產品,結果還是很滿意~
    希望能夠對你有所啟發~
    ps,影片最後有花絮!gala studio歷年辦公室大揭秘!=)

    Very good. Quick tip: all that masking tape should have come off a lot sooner. Don't [need to] wait for the paint to be dry; take it off once there's no chance of any paint dripping/running. Leaving it too long you can end up taking paint off with it and needing to repaint, or it becomes a major job just trying to get the masking tape off as it's stuck dry, and it rips and comes off in small bits (depending on the brand). As soon as it's safe to do so, get it off!

    The lightning is mad. I love it. The way you organized the vertical wall is very inspirational. I see myself applying your idea at home. Me and my partner work remotely and also have desks next to each other. In our setup the divider between desks was a game changer. We used Ikea EILIF. With the divider and good headphones we're no longer distracted by each other's presence and what's happening on our screens.

Indirect lighting, studies have shown that reducing the eye fatigue improves productivity up to 10%. It make sense. Whenever you can, uplight. You can stick to task lights but I have learned to stray away from alien autopsy lighting.

      Hahaha yes! You are absolutely right, we are also not fully confident on getting things perfectly square😅, so we have a lot of tolerance built in the design so that even not perfectly aligned would not felt the build is off. Having said that, maybe we should both master how to make things square first before fully embrace the free form geometries lol
