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.

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)?

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.

Redditor mrrej89 posted this beautiful workspace to the Battlestations subreddit. At first blush, it's simple, almost a little boring, but then you look more closely at the details — from the lamp to the keyboard to the monitor stand to the bookshelf, it's simple, but all well done and well built.

Not everyone has the space to put up a noticeboard in their cubicle or home office. Instructables user makerboat came up with a cheap DIY bulletin board that can be mounted on a monitor.

Squarespace makes it easy for anyone to spin up a web site, but behind the service is actually a big team of creative, talented people. The parent company just moved into new digs in New York City, and they look amazing. Here are some photos from their new workspace.

Reader Jason submitted this desktop to our Featured Workspace Show-and-Tell Pool on Flickr, and this dual desktop, triple-display workspace gets a lot done in a modest space. One quick switch and he goes from his Mac to his PC. Here are some more photos.

We've highlighted a bunch of multi-display setups recently, but this single-panel workspace from reader Wayne shows off that one display — especially when it's huge — can be just as good looking as several. He submitted his setup to our Workspace Show and Tell Pool, and here are some more photos.

scruffycoxendale's home office is more than just one desk with a computer on it, although it's definitely nice. A quick look around the room shows off some other great gear, including a lovely record collection, a media server for the house, and more.

Redditor zbeegniev just finished updating his workspace, and the results look pretty sharp. It's clean, that monitor is well mounted to the wall, and oh hey — the PC is actually built into the desk. Here are some more photos.

Every week, we highlight awesome workstations, battlestations, office spaces, and other tech'd out spots where people work, play, relax, and get stuff done. Here's a look back at your favourites from the past year.

Most students have to muddle by with the desk and furniture from their parents, but redditor themachu wanted something a little more personal. He grabbed an IKEA desk, stained it himself, and put together this sharp looking bench, topped with a Linux PC.

Redditor Tech__ just set up a new workspace, and it's gorgeous, blue, and behind the scenes connected through Google fibre. We're pretty sure they also work at Google. Let's look at some more photos.

Re_on has a gorgeous, huge window with a lovely view...so he set up his workspace right in front of it. It's beautiful, simple, and despite the lack of curtains, not a bad place to work. Let's check out some more photos.
