For almost two years, I've gotten the same response when anyone looks at my desk area: "Wow, it's so bare." And it was well, quite sad-looking. So I finally decided it needed an update. Much to my surprise, it took only a few quick and easy tricks to transform my workspace. Find out how to recreate the magic below!

First, pick a bold wrapping paper to create a fancy backdrop (just use a little double-sided tape to keep it in place). Matching desk accessories like a pencil cup, trays, stapler and tape dispenser look ultra luxe, especially with a lamp in a similar shade (this style has a dimmer, which incited some major office envy). Add-ons like gold bow push pins, printed pens and pencils, gilded headphones, and even a glittery box to cover my tissue box are eye-catching. Practical updates include a mini keyboard, monitor stand, and a wireless mouse. For organizational purposes, an acrylic collator separates all my files and white cutout magazine holders display all my magazine issues. And the finishing touch? Pretty candies so coworkers actually want to stop by.
