Whether you’re a work-from-home die-hard, a stay-at-home parent with a craft room, or just in need of a neat place to store books and documents, when it comes to the home office, your space deserves some thoughtful organization. If your office is anything like mine, it has its primary purpose — in my case, work, writing, and meetings. But there’s also an overflow of secondary purposes, too. For example, in my house, we also use my home office for crafts, filing, gift wrapping, and storage … plus the occasional Lego project. As you can imagine, organization is pretty important!
No matter what purpose(s) your office currently serves, keeping it organized can help you create a space that works for you and your family. To make the most of it, start by first decluttering and then keeping the essentials. Once you’re ready to organize, space savers and desk organizers can help you designate a space for everything, right down to the paperclips. And gone are the days of banker boxes and pencil mugs! Today’s office organizers come in a variety of styles and materials, covering everything from eco-friendly bamboo to timeless white oak to easy-to-clean acrylic.
From clutter-free drawers to functional desktop trays to hidden-in-plain-sight solutions, organizers provide convenient storage and access to everyday items. Here are our top picks for the most stylish desktop organizers.
