If you're one of the many people working more from home than the office (or even full-time!) then this guide is for you.

Not everyone has a spare room or unused corner just begging to become a workspace. This is why, when we equip our homes with stylish and smart storage solutions, we retain our ability to function whilst adapting to our new way of working.

That said, if the pandemic changed nothing for you, then peruse our home office storage ideas anyway. They might ignite your inner Marie Kondo and inject some much-needed joy back into your workspace.

Benefits of smart storage

The phrase, 'A cluttered up desk is a sign of a cluttered up mind' dates back to the 1940s, when lots of other questionable beliefs still existed too.

However, what is true is the fact that clutter affects our ability to pay attention to tasks. Processing mess – an automatic response – competes for our brain's attention, making it harder to concentrate.

As staying motivated when working from home is challenging at the best of times, why not optimise your environment so it works for you?

With a higher propensity for clutter, incorporating smart storage, ergonomic furniture and stylish decor will keep things tranquil, allowing you to reap the benefits of harmonious space.
