Divide areas on the desk with monitor riser and desk mat

If I have monitor riser and a mat, will the area on the desk be automatically divided? When you open the note and move the mouse, you may need a different position than in the picture. Let's decide on the roles of the back, center, and sides with the items we are currently using.

Divide areas on the desk with monitor riser and desk mat

First, lay out the actual items you use.

Place the items you use together when working, such as a keyboard, mouse, and notes, on the desktop. As shown in the photo, the required space is different when the note is closed and when it is opened. If you often use a cup or tablet, start by placing those as well.

After checking the width and depth of desktop and the actual size of the object, decide which part to leave empty. This is the step of comparing a layout that looks good and a layout that suits my work. Rather than copying the spacing in the draft by eye, it is better to check it directly at my desk.

The back is where the monitor and stand are located.

In this scene, the stand ties the bottom of the monitor into one area. The black side of the base creates a blank space around the stand, and the color continues with the mat on the front.

If you choose a stand, compare the actual dimensions of the size of the surface where the monitor stand is placed, the depth of the stand, and the space left behind the desktop. If you plan to put anything underneath, you'll also need the interior height and width. Don’t assume that the storage space is the same just by looking at the exterior width.

Just because there is a stand in the picture doesn't mean it will support the weight of my monitor or be at an appropriate height for use. Check the load and compatibility conditions through the actual product guide, and pay attention to the way the items are spaced.

The center holds the keyboard and mouse together.

I placed a keyboard and mouse inside the mat. In this design, the edge of the mat appears to be the boundary of the area where the input device is placed.

Before purchasing, don't just judge the width of the keyboard, try actually moving the mouse. If you use a keyboard with ten keys or a large mouse, the composition in the picture and the required area may be different. Also check how much the mat covers the front of the desk.

There is a 80×40cm mat in the reference list, but there is no guarantee that the mat in the image is represented according to that specification. It would be a good idea to place your item, check the required width and depth, and then compare it with the actual product options.

Think about the moment you use it on both sides.

It looks like there is a light on the left and a note on the right. The actual placement may vary depending on which hand you use, how often you open the notebook, and whether your hand reaches the light switch. There is no need to follow the left and right arrangement of the photo.

Try actually picking up frequently held items, opening notes, and moving the mouse. If there are areas where they bump into each other or other items need to be moved every time, readjust the margins in those areas.

The power seat behind the desk is only used as a placement idea. Since this photo does not show the actual wiring path or installation process, it should not be interpreted as an example of a completed hidden cable arrangement or a built-in desk power function.

At the end, check to see if you have put more items on than before decorating. The goal of this arrangement is not to fill things up, but to decide where each space should be and what areas to leave empty.

CHECK BEFORE YOU FINISH

One last check

Tick off each item once you've checked it at your desk.

Have you actually checked the width and depth of desktop?
Have you compared the size of the monitor stand and the area and product conditions of the stand?
Have you tried putting the keyboard and mouse together and moving the mouse?
Have you checked the size of your notebook and the locations of frequently used items?
When picking up a light or object, have you checked to make sure it doesn't bump into other objects?
Did you distinguish between the proportions in the photo and the actual product dimensions?
