When it comes to home office storage solutions, the less boring the better. I spend a lot of time in my itty-bitty little home office (it’s the corner of my dining room, so it’s not even a whole office!). I’m already surrounded by very un-office-like things. Barking dogs, meowing cats, the kitchen counter. I need my little nook to reflect my personality so that I’m more likely to WANT to keep it organized. Make sense?
Over the next month (maybe two, depending on how long it takes!), I’m working on getting my home office in tip-top shape. That means everything from organizing the slew of random stuff sitting on top of my mismatched shelves to digging out my beloved Fellowes shredder and ditching the mountain of papers that I’ve stuffed everywhere. To get started, I’m sharing some of my favorite home office storage solutions that won’t bore your pants off! I haven’t decided which I’ll be getting yet, so perhaps you can weigh in with advice!
