A cluttered desk can be a huge distraction when working from home or in the office. With these low-cost, do-it-yourself organizing solutions, you can create a well-organized workspace that increases productivity.
- Organize chaos into compartments
A lot of minor pieces can go into a functional office. Unfortunately for our drawers, those little lifesavers inevitably become jumbled if left unchecked. To reduce confusion, try placing little plastic dividers in your desk drawers. A little time spent organizing will come in handy when you’re in the middle of a project and need those extra staples.
- Concealed Charging
Multiple charging gadgets and tangled cords can lead to a disorganized workspace. Retrieve your workstation with a hidden charging station hidden within a drawer.
- Minimize random pens.
When it comes to office organizing, consider this: one in, one out. Use this mantra to preserve order. If you get a new elegant pen, get rid of the old ones accumulating in your desk drawer.
- Invest in multitaskers
It’s usually preferable to select organized elements that serve many purposes. These charming flower pot-shaped bookends are ideal for displaying books in your home office but they can also function as pencil cups or succulent planters.
- Look up for your schedule
The wall space above your desk is also handy, whether it’s a monthly calendar to keep track of crucial events or a corkboard to put up your to-do list. Anything from floating shelves to DIY modular pegboard storage boxes can help you get trash off your desk and onto the wall.
- Inspiring desk lamp
A desk lamp can not only provide much-needed lighting, especially on dreary winter afternoons but can also improve your workstation’s aesthetics.
- Enlist a Nearby Closet.
To minimize overflowing drawers, store excess goods in closets. It’s an excellent choice for occasional areas where the desk serves as a dressing table.
- Turn Supplies Into Wall Art
Use pushpins to place small objects, such as scissors, on inspiration boards, transforming them into wall art. They’ll always be within arm’s reach without taking up valuable workspace.
- Group Desk Organizers on a Tray
Organize your desk using group organizers on a tray. While pen cups and letterboxes can be useful, having too many can lead to clutter.
- Don’t forget about the floor
If you don’t have any open shelves, consider using some floor space for storage. A woven beach bag can hold supplies beneath the floating desk and can be quickly taken up and stored when not in use.
- Install a shelving unit.
Install wall-mounted shelving to save space and improve the organization of your workstation. The shelving provides space for organizing and displaying decor, reading materials and supplies.
- Choose a drawer-filled desk.
Having storage built into your desk is possibly the most convenient way to keep your workstation clutter-free. Dedicate each drawer to a specific type of supply, such as notebooks or vital files. Keep the stuff on the surface to a minimum and don’t forget the fresh flowers.
