My tiny storage closet turned into command center.
This has been a fun personal project!
From a tiny Storage Closet to The Mounting Man Command Center
What you’re looking at started as a plain 74” x 42.5” x 95” high storage room.
It's just a storage room on the floor of my apartment complex I pay $25 a month for.
...they don't know I have this sort of thing going on in here.
Now, it’s my personal Command Center — a full build-out experiment in creating cinematic home workspaces for professionals who want something way more inspiring than a beige cubicle.
The back wall features black wood slats with LED lighting perfectly fit within them.
The left wall is covered in acoustic panels and two IKEA shelves — holding a couple of DeWalt drills, a mesh Wi-Fi router, my very first Black & Decker drill I bought for $39.95 at Target to start The Mounting Man, (mounted inside a DeWalt Tough System 2.0 case), a painted plaster cast of Malia's foot, and a vintage camera.
On the right wall, the bottom half has more acoustic panels, topped with chicken mesh wire for that gritty, tactical aesthetic.
The floor is tile that Malia and I got from Menards--she laid most of the tile herself.
The entire space is wrapped in black wallpaper, with a black desk, sleek chair, and a 43” TV monitor backed by blue LEDs.
A black marker board finishes it off for brainstorming or sketching new Mounting Man ideas.
Here’s the fun part: I designed the entire concept using the TV accent wall visualizer I had Google Gemini build a couple weeks back.
I simply uploaded a photo of the empty storage room (the “before” pic here), gave it the dimensions, and told it to make a spy-style command center in my signature aesthetic.
What it generated was nearly identical to what you see now. I just bought the parts, mounted them all, and built it.
This marks a new chapter for The Mounting Man — expanding beyond TV installations into full accent wall and office build-outs.
The back wall of this command center is basically a miniature TV accent wall, proving what’s possible even in tight spaces.
Many high-end clients want unique work environments now that remote work is the norm — and while most won’t go this extreme, this build shows just how far imagination and precision mounting can go.
P.S. Malia has naturally taken over the black marker board, and when she's in here with me, Mickey Mouse Club is on the TV screen instead of spy-style imagery.
