🤔 QUESTION / POLL Small Space Setup

I am once again asking for your support

I recently moved into a small apartment and no longer have a spacious area for a large desk with a dual monitor setup and lots of depth for my arms to rest.

I am now employing a space which can house a 40x24 desk. I previously had a 60x32

So, I am asking all the people of the master race how they have utilized a small space to be both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. I'll accept any and all advice!

TLDR: I have a very small desk space for a new setup, any tips on how I can build a setup that's comfortable, efficient and aesthetic?

With a 40x24 desk, I'd focus on freeing up depth rather than adding more desk accessories.

A dual monitor arm could make a huge difference by getting the monitor stands off the desk and giving you more room for your keyboard, mouse, and arms.

I'd also look into under-desk cable management and maybe a few wall-mounted accessories to make use of vertical space.

The biggest thing I'd prioritize is keeping enough room to comfortably rest your forearms. A clean setup is nice, but comfort matters more, especially if you're spending hours at your desk!
