Your 9-to-5 dwelling doesn't have to be defined by four drab gray walls and a screen. In the Age of Aesthetics, it's only natural for you to want your workplace to be as interesting and beautiful (flossy, anyone?) as possible. With the right furniture and accessories, you can be a corporate gangster and the envy of your office.

Without further ado, we present the following top 5 ways to Pimp Your Office. Enjoy!

#1 The Computer Bed

This quiet, unassuming computer desk hides a slim secret that only you have to know: the top flips down to reveal a twin-sized bed! For those times you want to pass out from projects that run into the wee hours, this murphy bed is the perfect way to ninja yourself a nap. If you absolutely have to reveal its powers, maybe you can convince The Boss that taking naps boosts productivity.
