As a top executive in a successful firm, Angela is free to choose her own furniture and decor according to her own tastes. Having the money for more doesn't come with any requirement to buy the pricier, flashier version of anything. Her desk only needs to work as her desk, and it does.
The production didn't exactly "go all out" when it came to decorating Angela's office. As can be seen in Junior Executive (1986), instead of a solid and stylish mahogany desk worthy of an agency president, Angela's "desk" is simply a distressed wooden table, without a single drawer, better suited for a country kitchen than an exec's office.

Being "super-wealthy" does not come with an obligation to engage in conspicuous consumption. She is also shown to be financially savvy and may have chosen her home and furnishings with an eye to the future as well. Or for any number of reasons that only need to work for her as the homeowner.
Angela is supposed to be super-wealthy, yet lives in a very modest home, very lower middle class and one that is poorly decorated at that. The production certainly didn't "go all out" when it came to spending budget for props and set decor. (This is also the case with Two 1/2 Men, who are supposed to live on Malibu Beach, yet live in a tiny house instead of a sprawling mansion, which is the only type of dwelling in The Colony.) In contrast, "Who's the Boss" copycat, "The Nanny" didn't pull any stops when it came to their own set decor and props.

In nearly every title, poking from the screen's "ceiling", in at least one scene.
