Storage is paramount, just as suitable, ergonomic office chairs are essential to efficient spaces. A well-organised inspired home office — one with plenty of bookcases, folders and pencil holders (the list of office supplies is endless!) — will ensure that every item has a place, and help turn a hectic workstation into a stressless home office. Avoid the hassle by following these helpful organising tips.

Make efficient use of your filing cabinets.

A paper collection is one of those things that can easily get out of hand - especially right on top of your computer desk. Instead of trying to find a specific bill in that mound of paper, buy one or maybe two filing cabinets, hanging file folders and labels, and create files with specific subjects for every item you need to keep. Once that's done, you won’t have to deal with that paper search again, and your desk will be free of clutter!

A calendar for your home office.

Staying organised is key, and there is no better tool than a desk calendar or planner. Write down family events, doctor’s appointments and trips to ensure you stay on schedule. Place important events on a bulletin board, chalkboard or white board so the whole household can stay in tune. Keep yourself in check by creating to-do lists for smaller, everyday tasks.

Avoid stuffing clutter into your computer desk’s drawers.

Drawers can become wastelands for everything from tape dispensers to ticket stubs, especially when you’re in a rush. As this happens over and over, once-organised office desks can turn into areas of absolutely chaos.

Instead of creating a junk drawer, use organisers for your drawers and plastic compartments to ensure that each office item has a place — and that it always goes back there. Next time, you’ll be able to find your office pass right away, instead of scouring piles and piles of paperwork without any luck.

Use a bookcase (or two) to store trinkets.

Desk real estate is valuable, so even though that picture frame, stuffed animal or figurine might look cute next to your laptop, it likely takes up too much workspace. Switch things over to a bookcase - an excellent place to store mementos and accessories of any kind. Leave the desk for things you need, such as your computer, printer and desk lamp.

Invest in a sturdy home office desk with plenty of storage.

When you have lots of supplies to house, it goes without saying that your desk should have plenty of drawers and cabinets. When making a purchase, think about what style of desk will work for you.

Bow-front executive desks and U-shaped or L-shaped desks will give you plenty of room to spare, while hutch desks, secretary desks and corner desks still provide some storage while fitting nicely in small spaces. Plenty of shelves, drawers, and extensions with filing cabinets are always a good idea.

Office desks with cable management systems.

The home office is a hub for every plugged-in electronic gadget imaginable; with printer cords, computer cords, lamp cords and chargers, it is easy to let small electronics take over. To keep those cords in check, strap them down with a cable organiser, such as a cable box or strap.

Avoid plug confusion by using cord labels to differentiate your desktop computer’s plug from your shredder’s. Most office desks come equipped with cable storage systems that hide cables while keeping plug points and adapters at a comfortable distance from the desk chair.

Office chairs for comfort and function.

Home office desks and chairs need to be as comfortable as you can make them - after all it’s a space you design for yourself, why not go for broke! Sure, it might not seem like much, but investing in an ergonomic desk chair, a few fun knickknacks and a well-placed task light can make your day (and maybe your work) more enjoyable.
