Desk storage solutions: 8 expert tips to organise your workspace
Benefits of Organised Workspaces
Keeping your desk tidy doesn’t just look good - it supports better focus, reduces stress, and helps maintain a professional image. According to Nina, a well-organised desk boosts creativity and sets the tone for a more enjoyable working day.
"In a workplace with an open-office layout, maintaining cleanliness and order is essential", advises Nina Strandberg, founder of Iordning Stockholm. "This responsibility applies to everyone - colleagues and clients alike - to uphold a respectful environment".
8 Simple desk storage ideas to optimise your workspace
- Install under desk drawers: Maximise storage efficiency by fitting drawers beneath your desk. These drawers provide ample space to store notepads, pens, and other essentials within arm's reach while keeping your workspace clutter-free.
- Use a desk organiser: Keep your desk tidy with the help of a versatile desk organiser. It's perfect for storing small items like stationery, sticky notes, and paperclips, ensuring everything has its place. Choose one with sections to give every item a place.
- Choose a corner desk with integrated storage: A corner desk is a smart way to save space, especially in small offices. Look for one with drawers or shelving to store documents and supplies neatly.
- Use the desk screen as a bulleting board: Fabric-covered desk screens and partitions are often pinnable. This is perfect for hanging up to-do lists and notes instead of having them lying on your workspace!
- Use a cable management systems: With a cable holder under the desktop, you can collect and hide cords from the computer, phone, and more. It is an effective way to reduce dust-collecting and minimize any risks that may come with cable clutter on the floor.
- Place self-adhesive cable holders: Small cable holders that you attach to the desktop or other smooth surfaces are excellent for things like mobile chargers, headphones, and more. The cable holders hold the cords in place so they don't fall on the floor or tangle every time you disconnect your technical devices.
- Consider a computer holder: If you have a desktop computer, a CPU holder under the desktop is a very functional accessory for your desk. The computer doesn't need to take up desktop space or accumulate dust, contributing to cable clutter on the floor.
- If you store a lot of papers on your desk, a multi-compartment vertical form holder is the way to go. Many form holders can be stacked on top of each other so you can get storage that suits your needs. Label each compartment to make it easier to sort and keep track of important documents
Keeping your desk organised is essential for workplace productivity and cleanliness. A cluttered desk not only slows down work but also gathers dust, worsening allergies and asthma. Nina Strandberg highlights the need for individual expression, advocating for a balanced approach to desk organisation.
Adding small touches like a stylish pen holder or a delicate flower vase can uplift the workspace atmosphere and break the monotony. Moreover, incorporating greenery, such as a potted plant, not only adds freshness but also promotes a calmer and more conducive work environment.
