Whether you work from home or just need a place to pay your bills, the home office is a very important space. The trouble is, however, that many home offices have a tendency to look plain dull. Sterile. Bland. Anonymous. Uninspiring. A bummer. And who wants that?
We believe your home office should be more "home" than "office." It should excite you, inspire you to be more productive, and fit in with the rest of your home décor. Achieving this can be easier than you think, and we have a few suggestions below on how to get started.
1. Desktop Organization Collections
Our Graphite Mesh Desktop Storage Collection includes helpful items such as a sorter, desk station, magnetic bins, and wall organizer.
One of the best ways to begin jazzing up your home office is with a smart, snazzy-looking desktop organization set. Just about everyone needs a system for storing pens, pencils, paper, and other office essentials, and we offer a myriad of great looking solutions to complement your favorite style. It's a simple way to visually tie everything together. (If your office were a band, the desktop organizers would be a tight rhythm section.)
Like a chic Scandinavian look? Try our Nordic Collection, made from optical-grade acrylic and natural ash wood. Is industrial modern more your style? Take a look at our Silver and Graphite Mesh Collection. Want something more neutral and calming? Look no further than Marie Kondo's subtle-yet-beautiful desktop collections. Prefer some pops of color? Poppin might be your pick.
Marie Kondo's Ori Rattan Multi-Purpose Bins are sturdy enough for books or magazines and made from sustainable woven rattan fibers.
And don't be afraid to mix and match styles if you want; after all, this is YOUR space, and it should reflect your own tastes.
2. File Cabinets
Our 2-Drawer and 3-Drawer Locking File Cabinets in Sage Green paired with oak drawer pulls.
Although most of us rely less on physical files and paperwork than we did years ago, a good, reliable file cabinet is still the cornerstone of any well organized office. To help you find just the right look, we recently introduced a whole assortment of exclusive 2- and 3-drawer file cabinets (in white, black, light grey, sage green, olive green, navy blue, and slate blue) that can be accented with drawer pulls in a range of colors (silver, gold, black, oak, and walnut). If you prefer a less business-y option, we recommend either our Hudson File Cabinet (available in black or white) or Holden File Cabinet (available a honey or espresso woodgrain finish), which look more than furniture than office storage.
Our Holden Letter-Size File Cabinet with honey finish looks so nice it could easily serve a double function as an end table or night table.
3. Office Carts
The Luxe Acrylic 3-Tier Rolling Cart's clean and uncluttered design makes it feel at home anywhere.
Another invaluable office storage solution with a great deal of aesthetic potential is the rolling cart. After all, a small shelving unit can be useful almost anywhere, and even more so if it's mobile. We offer carts in a variety of sizes, shapes, materials, and colors that you can use to store office supplies, sort crafting materials, or even hold a small printer.
Several of our carts are also available as helpful starter kits, such as the Office Storage Cart & Accessories.
4. Desk Chairs
The Rainbow Bungee Office Chair features a pneumatic lift and supports up to 450 lbs. It also allows you to sit on a rainbow, which is way cool.
Though we've offered our ultra-comfortable and durable Bungee Office Chairs for a while now, not long ago we decided to dramatically expand our color palette. All of our previous bungee chairs featured black frames and hardware, so we added four more to the collection with white frames and an assortment of fun color options, including rainbow, blue ombre, grey, and pink. For those who want a little more sunshine in their life--and in their office, of course--this is a great way to make that happen.
That was super easy, right? By targeting those four areas of the home office, you can give it a whole new look--and help it stay organized--in almost no time at all!
