If you work from home or spend a considerable amount of time following a secondary career from the comfort of your own home, or even if you are simply looking to turn a room into a home office for the sake of work-related storage, there are countless ways to get organised by using home office furniture. There are plenty of ways that can help you get your home office into an inspirational place.
Filing cabinets
Filing cabinets come in an array of shapes and sizes and they are essential if you have important paperwork that you need to store safely but that you will need regular access to. Filing cabinets can be organised alphabetically, numerically, by date or otherwise and they can give you easy access to your documents as and when you need them. Depending on the style you buy, they can also add a lot to the decor of your home office.
Book shelves
Book shelves can add a lot to your home office. Not only can they give you quick and easy access to books and written literature for the sake of research, but they can also add a beautiful decorative touch to your home office and even give it a homely feel. You may find that this useful organisational furniture can actually turn your home office into a place of leisure also.
Stationary chests
Stationary chests can give you quick and easy access to pens, paper and other forms of stationery as and when you need it. Stationary chests can come in a number of different shapes and sizes and they can also be decorated and personalised so that they can add to your decor. Given the fact that many home offices regularly use large amounts of paper and pens are always necessary, a stationary chest can make sure that you never lose a pen or paper again and they can help you get rid of clutter that would otherwise be littered around your standing desks and the office environment.
Getting organised with the home office does not take much, nor does it cost much at all. You can buy brand-new, or you could even help someone out by purchasing furniture second hand from a charity shop. Simple additions to the home office can help get rid of clutter and store it away and turn your office into a luxurious, well-organised and beautiful addition to the household.
Consider investing in filing cabinets for safe and secure access to your important documents and to give you easy access as and when you want, consider investing in a bookshelf for storage of research material and to turn your home office into a reading room and never overlook the benefits of stationary chests to avoid stockpiling of regular clutter such as loose papers and pens.

Standing desks are a great way of increasing activity in a sedentary job. Great post, I need to revamp my office environment

I work from home as a freelance proofreader, and I’ve tried to make my office as homely as possible so that I enjoy working there! It’s definitely worth treating it like a “real” office with proper storage and safe places to keep files 🙂 x
