Desk Wraps
A desk has always been a useful resource, but these days, it's now more invaluable than ever. With so many professionals and students working and learning at the office, in the classroom and at home, it's essential to have a desk that looks good, functions effectively and is easy to clean. Rvinyl knows the importance of a quality desk, and that's why we're ready to provide you with attractive, durable DIY desk wraps for the home, office and schoolroom.
What Are Vinyl Desk Wraps?
Even if you're unsure of what vinyl wraps are, chances are good that you've seen their application in a variety of settings. Think about cars wrapped in chrome, carbon fiber or another wild color that draws your eye each time they drive by. Vinyl wraps have made a significant impact on the automotive market, but that doesn't mean they only have vehicular applications. You can apply vinyl wraps to various surfaces, especially furniture pieces like desks.
You can apply the same vinyl wraps you use on vehicle interiors and exteriors to nearly every piece of furniture in your home or office, immediately upgrading its appearance. Can you wrap a desk? Absolutely! Office desk wraps are easy to install and even easier to replace. Professionals can give their home office desks a refined makeover, while student desk wraps let kids personalize their workspaces with vibrant colors and fun patterns. Vinyl desk wraps can transform any tabletop in minutes.
Why Wrap Your Desk?
If you're reading this at a desk, you may be wondering how a simple DIY vinyl wrap could make a difference. After all, you're using your desk effectively right now, aren't you? Ask anyone who has used vinyl wraps for tops of desks, and they'll tell you applying it made an immediately noticeable impact. Office desk wraps for professionals and students can dramatically change your workspace. Why wrap your desk? Here are five reasons it's more practical than ever.
1. Enhance Professionalism at Home
Almost literally overnight, hundreds of thousands of professionals went from working in an office to having to work from home. However, many of these workers didn't have home office setups, so they've been using whatever makeshift tables and workspaces they could find. Unfortunately, this improvisation made their presentations on Zoom, Microsoft Teams and other virtual chat platforms look unprofessional.
If you're using an old or cheap table as your workspace, you can immediately enhance its appearance with office desk wraps. So many desks are only available in white, black or natural wood finishes. Instead of settling for a less-than-ideal appearance, you can use vinyl desk wraps to refine your surface. From wood grain to chrome and everything in between, you can instantly upgrade your desk and be proud to show it off in online meetings.
2. Create a Fun Space for Kids
At-home learning has increased exponentially, but sadly, this has left some classroom fun lacking. To help children through this rough transition, kid desk wrap is an excellent solution. These colorful, exciting patterns are perfect for young students learning at home. Since they're easy to install and replace without damaging furniture, you can purchase multiple tabletop wraps for a low price and give your children a change of scenery every week!
3. Brighten up Your Office
As many professionals return to the workplace, some have mentioned the office doesn't feel quite the same. Whether fewer employees are on site or policies and procedures have changed to meet the "new normal," many offices could use a pick-me-up. Thankfully, office desk wraps are an ideal way to spice up the workspace. Since there are hundreds of options available, you could outfit your workspaces with vinyl desk wraps that match your company's colors, or let your employees choose unique wraps for their desks.
4. Let Kids Design Their Desks
Children who return to in-person schooling may have some trouble adjusting to new rules in the classroom. One way teachers can help make this transition fun and exciting is to let them personalize their desks with kid-friendly desk wrap. These affordable desktop wraps come in various exciting colors, including desk color change wraps. This fun craft activity lets them make their desks unique without damaging school property.
5. Cut Down on Glare and Hide Flaws
Ultimately, tabletop wraps look great because they hide what's underneath. These easy-to-apply DIY desk wrap solutions make old, worn furniture appear new again. They conceal scratches, coffee ring stains and other blemishes without breaking the bank and give new life to even your most unattractive tabletops. You can also get reflective-free wraps that reduce glare, so the lighting around your workspace never distracts you. There's no need to spend money on new furniture when you can give your old desk the facelift it needs with office desk wraps.
Benefits of Vinyl Desk Wraps
Whether you're a professional, teacher or homeowner, you might be a little hesitant about applying tabletop wraps. Will it look professional? Will it ruin my desk? Will I have to keep replacing it because my kids destroy it?
Don't worry, many of our customers have the same concerns. Thankfully, our vinyl desk wraps are heavy on the benefits and light on your furniture. Regardless of whether you're shopping for a durable student desk wrap or professional office desk wraps, you'll love the benefits of our vinyl desk wraps. Our customers list these top five advantages of using DIY desk wrap solutions from Rvinyl.
1. Low Cost
Many professionals, students, office managers and homeowners don't have the budget to invest in new furniture. Thankfully, vinyl desk wraps are exceptionally cost-effective solutions. A smooth sheet of vinyl wrap can quickly conceal any imperfections on scratched or stained desks.
Even if your desk is in fair condition, you may want to spruce up your surroundings with a new color or pattern. There's no reason to buy a new piece of furniture every time a plain desk loses its luster. Instead, use a low-cost vinyl desk wrap to change its appearance and make it look brand-new.
2. Ease of Installation
One hesitation people often have when considering a DIY desk wrap is the installation required. With so much on your to-do list already, the last thing you need is to tack a hefty project onto your to-do list. Worry not! Our DIY desk wraps have you in mind. You don't have to be an avid crafter or professional technician to use our office desk wraps.
Our customers are relieved to discover that applying wraps for tops of desks is surprisingly simple. Our tabletop wraps are so convenient to use that you'll want to apply vinyl wraps on other pieces of furniture throughout your home or office.
3. Durability
Appearance and ease of installation are crucial, but the effectiveness of most desk wraps boils down to one question: Is it a durable solution? No one wants to purchase and install a desk wrap, only to discover that it tears, wrinkles or peels off the moment you use it.
Many of our vinyl desk wraps are between 3mils and 3.5mils thick, offering fantastic durability. These thicknesses can help prevent stains such as ink marks. Whether you're a student or a professional, the vinyl desk wrap will help protect whatever surface you apply it to.
4. Removable
Ease of installation and durability are valuable benefits, but vinyl desk wraps offer another distinct advantage over other resources like paints and stains: the ability to remove them quickly without leaving any residue behind.
Not only does this make the installation process even more straightforward if you've made a mistake, but it also means these wraps are excellent short-term solutions. If you or your children get tired of a particular color or wish to redecorate the entire room, you can remove your current tabletop wrap and install a new one within minutes.
5. 100+ Options Available
Do you have a paint that can change color as you look at it? Can you find a furniture stain in an exciting color that children will love? Paints and stains limit your options for enhancing your desk. Vinyl desk wraps, on the other hand, offer abundant choices. From color-changing wraps to whimsical kid desk wraps for students and elegant neutral hues to refined wood grain finishes, our vinyl desk wraps are available in styles that cater to any taste.
Types of Desks You Can Wrap
Which types of desks can you wrap? A better question is, are there any desks you can't wrap? Our vinyl wraps are ideal for installation on multiple surfaces, including:
- Office desks
- Kids' tables
- Student desks
- Multipurpose tables
- Arts and crafts surfaces
- Old furniture repurposed as a desk
- Shared employee surfaces
If it's a flat surface for work, study and play, it's a perfect space to place a vinyl desk wrap! Best of all, if you don't like the look of a particular color or pattern, remove it and replace it with a design that suits your tastes.

How to Install Vinyl Desk Wraps
Our vinyl desk wraps are easy to install, making this a quick project you can complete during a break from work or school. Before you start, make sure you have all your supplies on hand. You'll need the following:
- Vinyl desk wrap
- Rubbing alcohol or ReadyPrep
- Utility knife
- Ruler
- Squeegee
If it's your first time applying a vinyl wrap to a surface, feel free to be patient and work slowly if that makes you feel more comfortable. As you continue to install wraps on other desks or furniture, you'll notice that you'll get faster and more accurate after each installation.
1. Clean and Prepare Your Desk
First, you'll need to correctly prepare your desk for the installation. While a household cleaner may get the job done, we suggest using rubbing alcohol or a ReadyPrep towelette to thoroughly remove all grease, substances and fingerprints from the surface. You'll also need to wait until the surface is completely dry before applying the wrap.
2. Measure and Cut the Desk Wrap
As you wait for the desk surface to dry, you can measure and cut the vinyl wrap. Measure all areas of the desk you want to cover, adding at least an inch on each side for overlap. Using the utility knife, safely cut the wrap to the specific measurements. We recommend ordering a desk wrap in a 24-inch width to ensure you have enough material for most standard-sized desks.
3. Apply the Wrap to the Desk
Once you're ready to begin applying the wrap, pull off about six inches of the wrap's liner. You'll then press the sticky side onto the edge of your desk and squeegee the area to remove any trapped air bubbles. As you continue to peel back the liner, press the wrap onto the desk surface and remove additional bubbles. Working slowly will help you decrease bubbles and wrinkles.
4. Squeegee and Trim
After you've covered the entire surface of the desk with the vinyl wrap, use your squeegee to remove any remaining bubbles. It's best to start in the center and push toward the edges. To fit the wrap to the edges of the desk, cut it at a 45-degree angle.
5. Enjoy!
If you need to wrap other areas of the desk, repeat these steps. If you make a mistake, peel back the wrap and carefully replace it on the surface. Within a few minutes, you'll be ready to enjoy your brand-new workspace!
