Stylish Home Office Storage Ideas

Many of us need a home office nowadays, whether we’re working from home full-time or simply trying to keep on top of things as a family. Having a dedicated office space helps to stop the dining table from getting cluttered with work and papers, although it’s easy for the office to become messy, too.

Creating an office space that’s clean, organised and productive is simple enough. All you need is some clever thinking and beautiful home office furniture. Here are some of our favourite ideas for creating a wonderful home office space.

Create an Inspiring Style

First things first, when designing an office space, it pays to have a coherent style across all your furniture. Having a unified space will help your office feel clean and focused, making it easier to feel productive.

How you specifically choose to style an office comes down to personal taste. You may prefer a minimalist approach that’s free from distractions or you may want a homely feel with warm tones and plenty of trinkets that remind you why you’re working so hard.

If you prefer a simplistic style of office, Scandinavian-inspired furniture like the Zuiver Kaat Desk Table is perfect for creating that distraction-free space. A sleek, modern design with built-in drawers to keep things organised, this desk is perfect for smaller office spaces.

Cabinets Keep Work Out of Mind

Whether it’s spreadsheets, forms or bills, our office spaces quickly get filled with clutter. We often need to keep this stuff, but letting it pile up on the desk or nearby shelves can lead to everything looking untidy.

Stylish cupboards and cabinets can be a real help in keeping everything organised and, unlike shelves, out of mind. Make the most of your office space by adding some modern storage cabinets so you can shut those important documents away at the end of the day.

A small, characterful piece like the Dutchbone Chisel Carved Mango Wood Cabinet is perfect for keeping your office space organised. With beautifully crafted details, this piece is incredibly functional and also adds a warm, stylish touch to your office space.

Shelving Equals Workspace

Good shelving can make a huge difference to your office space, particularly if you have a smaller desk. Not only is shelving great storage, but when strategically placed, it can also double up as additional workspace.

Low-lying shelves can be used to house things like folders, printers and stationery that you need access to without clogging up your desk and distracting from your work. You can also stack shelves to make the most of your wall space.

The Muubs Denver Low Iron Bookcase is a wonderfully versatile piece of furniture. With quality construction and plenty of open shelving, it’s ideal for storing printers and other bulky everyday items while also looking stylish.

Look Up

While shelving at desk height comes with advantages, we also shouldn’t discount higher shelves as a great storage option.

If you have a lot of vertical space, consider some high shelves. Similar to cupboards, these can be a great way to keep important folders out of sight, creating a clean and focused workspace.

Ultimately, great modern office shelving makes the most of vertical storage. Even the thinnest of wall spaces can be turned into rows upon rows of storage with clever shelving.

A tall, slim piece like the Mahi Antique Brass Slim Shelving Unit is the perfect way to finish a small office space. Incredibly stylish yet infinitely versatile, this simple piece of furniture is slim enough to fit into tight spaces and offers ample shelving space for all your folders, stationary and more.

Hopefully, these ideas will inspire you to make the most of your office space. Whether you have a dedicated room or a small nook, these tricks can make your space feel free of clutter and conducive to productive work.
