Mark Jordan's workspace is clean, tidy, and actually looks like someone gets work done in it - mostly because Mark is a a PC technician and uses the entire area to the left to repair and maintain client systems. That doesn't mean his primary setup is anything but good-looking though.

Dear Lifehacker, I read somewhere that a creative workspace can lead to higher productivity and wanted to know if it's true? I work in a boring office job (it pays the bills) but I'm a creative type at heart. My question is, how can I add creativity to my corner of a boring workplace to inspire myself (preferably without getting in trouble)?

Here's a traditional workspace with personality. From the great wood desktop to the starfish pulls, it's the little details that make this office look pulled together.

Over at the battlestations subreddit, repens picked up a shiny new ultrawide monitor and wanted to do something a little different with his desk to accomodate it. The end result is this good-looking, minimal, distraction-free setup.

Today's featured workspace showcases a customised L-shaped desk, where one section lifts from sitting to standing and the other sits atop charcoal filing cabinets. From the bamboo plywood top to the nature-inspired accessories, this home office is both elegant and functional.

Motion graphics designer and cinematographer Tyler Sparks sent over this shot of his space-saving workspace in his Brooklyn apartment, and we love it. It's a great space to do work, uses vertical space well, and has plenty of personality as well as tools for productivity.

Steampunk, that unique style that combines industrial antiques and technology, isn't for everyone. Nonetheless, it's hard not to appreciate how dedicated this couple has been to designing their home office to infuse it fully in the Steampunk style.

Over on the battlestations subreddit, Sarne shared this beautiful setup with a side-by-side computers in a custom desk with an open top and LEDs so you can see the inside. The whole thing is just beautiful.

A little over a week ago I moved to a new home. As I'm now in a long-term committed relationship with a bank, I can make this place my own. For me, one of the keys is getting my workspace right. I'm currently working off a very small table as I think about what will work best. And that's where you come in. I'm looking for ideas on getting the most out of the space, given the limitations of budget and floorpan.

This mostly white workspace with black and natural accents is refreshingly light and minimalist -- without being boring.

Over on the battlestations subreddit, damienslash offers up his new setup to the crowd, complete with a beautiful custom desk, ultrawide monitor, and some other touches we can really get behind.

Redditor jamend loves screen real estate, and so do we. He's rocking four displays in this shot, a 4K display in the center, two 1440p displays on either side, in portrait mode, and a 4K TV just above. Best of all, that's not all the great gear he uses to get stuff done. Here's a full rundown.

We've seen awesome single-colour workspaces, but if that's just too much trouble, you can still appreciate the simplicity in a space like this one. Lifehacker reader pljohns built this cubby workspace that reaches up, not out, and still manages to keep everything well lit and organised.

Steven Wilke's basement video production and editing studio is wood paneled, all hand-designed and built, and looks fantastic. He pulled that basement space back to the walls to build the workspace of his dreams, and the finished product definitely shows.

We love space-saving workspaces, especially when they offer lots of storage. While Joe and Brad's bookshelf workspace runs wide, it doesn't take up much of the limited space available in their apartment.

Dan, also known as HiTechTLS, shares this corner desk in his tiny apartment that manages to really pack in the gear. Not only does he have six monitors total, there's only one PC powering it all. Here's his setup.

Lainz's setup is unique in a few ways, one of which that he has a pair of speakers mounted to monitor arms just above his displays. Really offers that whole surround sound feel. Beyond that though, the setup has a few more neat surprises in store. Here are some more photos.

It's not often I see triple monitor setups that actually look sharp -- I mean really sharp -- and this one fits the bill. Over at the battlestations subreddit, Evexium shares this workspace, packed with three displays mounted to the wall, and great cable management.

Devin's workspace is packed with beautiful, colour-changing LED strips, and the effect looks great. He has three displays, a gorgeous framed, illuminated view of the Carina nebula, and an aquarium in his workspace, and we're jealous.
