Cable Baskets and Decluttering: A Home Office Makeover

Banishing cable clutter, slapping on a rich coat of paint, and swapping out your old particleboard office furnishings for new and stylish ones goes a long way towards turning a ho-hum home office into a stunning one.

Lifehacker reader JClishe had outgrown the limited size of his desk, was tired of his only storage being an old bookshelf across the room, and was ready for a change. He emptied out the room, repainted it, and brought in fresh furniture including some great cable baskets from IKEA and a triple monitor mount from Ergotron. Check out the before, in-progress, and after pictures in the gallery below.

If you have a workspace of your own to show off, throw the pictures on your Flickr account and add it to the Lifehacker Workspace Show and Tell Pool. Include some details about your setup and why it works for you, and you just might see it featured on the front page of Lifehacker.
