Apartment Therapy Unplugged | Survey: Is Your Workspace Horizontal or Vertical?

Survey: Is Your Workspace Horizontal or Vertical?

We've seen our share of vertically arranged workspaces here at Unplggd, including Marc's vertical solution and Edward's use of a small space. We stick to a horizontal arrangement, ourselves, but wondered what you readers had in your home office. Take our survey below, and let us know how you prefer to work in the comments.

We like having the space to spread out, although admittedly it can lead to desk clutter. Do you think a vertical solution helps one stay more organized?

My setup right now is a vertical leaning desk from C&B that houses my 22" monitor and spot for my MBP . . . it sucks . . . I prefer my old setup of a nice wide horizontal desk so i can stack my paperwork somewhere!

I have a corner workstation from IKEA (they don't sell it anymore for some reason). It's very comfortable, does not take much space in our tiny "study" and yet it has enough space for everything

Lucky enough to have a room dedicated to a "home office". We have a 14' X 14' room where we contracted to have a two-person desk built incorporating a nice 8' X 4' work peninsula between us. The desk is ""T-Shapped" 9' W X 3' D X 8' H and has under-cabinet space on each side for our computers, over head cabinets on each side, and shelves for shared books and printers in the middle.

My computer and related stuff is set up vertically, but my desktop space extends horizontally for production (cutting large paper or matte board requires space!).

...some weird perspective happened in stitching this together...

Oh, and this is my bedroom too. Along the opposite wall is my bed and a dresser.

That's a really nice workspace, iynque. I'm jealous.
