Cable. Management.

Screw down power supplies in well hidden areas, snake power cables together. Buy a fuck ton of Velcro cable ties and group cables together.

Any hardware that will be regularly connected to and disconnected from should have dedicated space.

Any hardware that won't be used all the time should generally not be visible unless in use. So, hide your MIDI keyboard, or whatever.

Alright sounds easy enough I'll swap out velcro for zip ties as that's what I've got on hand

Velcro straps work just as good as zip ties.

Zip ties are designed to be used to hold things together tightly if you max tighten zip ties around cables, you will see packet loss damage and interference. Also they are a pain in the ass to add/remove cables from.

Velcro 4 ever

Cable runs > Velcro > zipties > staples

Good, work-focused lighting. RGB is cool and all, but your studio doesn’t need it. Soft, indirect light with some focus on where they need to be to work.

Good lighting, some plants, little clutter

Ah shit seems like I won't be able to complete step one

It depends on what you want. And how much effort you're willing to invest.
