Tidy work space, tidy mind. Keep your home office neat as a pin with these smart and stylish organisation solutions.
 
Build it Up 
Most home offices are pretty small, which is why clever storage is so important. In tiny spaces, think up, – not sideways. Keeping your storage structure vertical frees up valuable floor space which will make the room feel bigger than it is. Choose any of our Flex Modular Kits to build the perfect, tall storage unit for your specific space. Use your bespoke creation to house papers, books and one of our artificial house plants for a little greenery. Don’t forget the space beneath the unit either – it’s a great hiding spot for files or cables.
 
Pack it and Stack it 
The biggest clutter culprit in an office has to be paper. If you’ve chosen a shelving unit, think beyond boring files and plastic folders. Beautiful square baskets like the Onito Low Open Basket keep papers together but out of sight when set on open shelves. If you’d like to put the boxes on top of each other try the Sukarno Large Box which has a lid to help with stacking. Don’t forget about the papers on your desk – use a shallow open basket like the Onito Towel Basket to act as a tray for documents you’re still using. 
 
Desk Ideals 
A beautiful desk can become the focal point of an office, so choose one that allows for both tidiness and style. Trestle designs can look clean and contemporary and can accommodate a number of storage boxes beneath them. The Modern Trestle or Stationers Trestle both deliver a minimalist look that will give the illusion of greater space. If it’s built-in storage you’re after, decide whether you want drawers or drawers and locker units within the desk. Drawers are great for papers, cables and pens, but the cubby in some designs can be useful for bulkier objects. 
 
Stationery Saviour 
Even though we are all mostly digital these days, every office still needs a few key pieces of stationery. Pens, highlighters, staplers and punches all need a home and if you don’t have drawers you’ll want a smart solution for storing them. The ultimate tool is the East Port Desk Organiser, which can go on any desk or table. With drawers for post-its and notebooks and alcoves for pen holders and containers, it’s an easy way to keep your desk tidy.
 
Put it on a Pedestal 
If you don’t want your storage solutions on display, the drawer unit is another great option. A unit like the Signature 3 Drawer allows you to hide away documents and supplies in a piece that takes up very little floor space. The open shelf above the drawers allows for easy access to frequently used books or documents and the broad top surface is the perfect spot for a compact coffee machine or a lamp to add ambient lighting.
