cool and thoughtful home office storage ideas cover

Home offices and kitchens often become the most cluttered spaces in homes as they feature a lot of things and not always enough storage space.

Bookcases, open storage and shelves, storage desks and many other ideas are waiting for you below!

Kitchen Cabinets

Kitchen cabinetry can be used not only in kitchens but also throughout the house for several reasons: you get a lot of comfortable storage space, you don’t have to mix and match items in the room and you get a cohesive home with the same cabinets in the kitchen, home office and perhaps even bathroom. Choose the cabinets and configurations that fit your home office in a perfect way!

Built-In Storage Items

If you already know how many and what kind of storage units you will need, go for built-ins. These cabinets, shelves and bookcases look very neat and elegant and they never spoil the look of the space. Built-ins are always sleeker, look more lightweight and take less space than usual free-standing pieces.

Open Shelves

Open shelving is the easiest way to get a lot of storage space without including any bulky pieces into home decor. You may go for them anytime you decide you need them, you may easily remove them and they look very modern and light. The only disadvantage I can name is that you will have to dust a lot.
