Nicholas Todd livened up his work station with [nature themed decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vert-installation) like a [wood-top desk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balolo-setup) and a river stone computer background.

Offsetting tech with nature like this is a great DIY way to add balance to your workspace.
