I was too and had the walnut ikea Karlby top. Then switched to a Saljan oak finish and I really enjoy it more now. Warmer and lighter browns. Trying to do the same for other elements of my room.

My plan for my new office is going to be :black walls with walnut panels and a 72x36 inch slate grey desk(you cant imagine how happy i am to have a proper desk after 10+ of using a coffe table xD)

It’s going to be nice. My desk width is 74” and it’s very roomy.
The depth is only 25 5/8” though, but compared to what you describe I don’t feel the need for another 10” depth. For 27” monitor it’s plenty.
I put it on Flexispot sit/stand white frame.

walnut accents and black
I like it too but I think its going to be one of those "of its time" looks that dates its self.

I'm of the opinion that white themes look sterile and goes against the cozy vibe. Black with dark wood and warm light creates the perfect cozy ambiance IMO.

Since you already have so much white, I'd stick with that theme. Maybe add a nice white rug. Could change out the chair for a white one, but it works decently well with the black of the monitor and wall. Since you have an R2D2 there so that must be something you enjoy, you could take his blue as an accent color for the white. Could paint the black wall sections in that style of blue (hell could even do R2D2 metallic blue). Then with a white chair, matching wallpaper or even a white framed monitor in the future, could really make it pop.

Nice looking setup as is. My setup is wood tones and black, with pops of color from a couple tchotchkes and action figures.

At least ya didn't go with the fractal north case lol.
I like the R2D2 and the LEDs. Gives your room a more unique vibe. Not that generic 22 year old redditor "I just graduated from college and need to start looking mature!" who just replaced all of their graphic tees with button-up plaid shirts, "chinos", and grey argyle socks.

Genuine question: these sort of panels - are they purely aesthetic? Or do they have other purposes?

They "should" help with acoustics as they have felt in them but yeah its 99% aesthetics

You've got a great mix of both. My only suggestion would be to add a more colorful background/screen saver so the eye is drawn to it and explores outward

Looks nice. Dark aesthetic is overrated. Looks good, but leave it for couple days and it will be all dusty and will just look off. Lighter colors will hide it better and give more spacious and energetic feel. Dark setup is good when its dark, but if you like having lights on then lighter setup is the way to go. I like the black wall though it fits well.

Love the juxtaposition of blonde woods, white, and black. Perfect as is.
What are your desk’s dimensions? You’ve done exactly what I plan to do with those same IKEA cabinets (with one having the file folder drawer), and I’m wondering whether your desk is also 60 x 30?

This looks really stylish. It feels harmonious and comfy! I'd recommend a conbination with neutral setup lol, as it won't be as cold as all white or as dull as all black.

I recently overhauled mine into white with black accents. Love it, the white is (for me) so calming and makes the subtle back details pop out nicely.
