I'm yet to receive a couple of thingies from Amazon to hide as much as possible the existing cables and a nice wooden support for the headphones. I also need to add a plant somewhere 😂

Can't promise I'll remember but if I do, I'll upload a pic when finished,

I got a plastic IKEA plant, it's great because it doesn't die if you forget to water it. Water near computer isn't a good idea anyways xD

Depends on the place I go, as I have a laptop and like to work at cafés and coworking spaces sometimes. This is probably the most minimalistic setup I have been so far, in my old flat before moving out, with any furniture already packed into a truck. But there is still the painted wall and the bright colors of my cup and my müsli bowl.
