Keeping an office orderly and free of clutter can be a big enough task even when a room is spacious, but when you're caught in close quarters, it can be an enormous problem. Because so many businesses require the keeping of important hard-copy records, often for long periods of time, things like files, books, directories, and papers can build up fast with no place to go. Fortunately, office furniture manufacturers have seen this, and have worked their magic to bring you some great space saving storage devices that will clear up your office in a flash!
Storage Cabinets
The tough part about having an office (and trying to keep things clean) is that, a lot of times, we have to keep things around even if we may not exactly use them all the time. Things like three-hole punches, computer software, directories, books, binders, and old hard-copy files you deleted from your computer but still have to hold on to are probably not used too much, but without a place to go, they can stack up to make some tall pillars in a workplace. Sound familiar? Don't worry. If it does, there's a great solution. Adding one or two stylish storage cabinets can usually solve all these problems just by giving a place to things without a place and the best part is that they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes to meet your needs. Whether you need something small and square like the OFM Executive Wall Cabinet Credenza, or something tall and thin like the Mayline Brighton Glass Display Cabinet, adding one or two of these beautiful cabinets can always clear up the clutter with style!
Shelving
In offices where square footage can be measured more accurately in inches than feet, people usually figure out really quick that building up is the most efficient way to get the most out of the lack of space. Unfortunately, its easy to find oneself building the columns of the Parthenon out of purchase orders and old company records that can't be tossed out. Few realize that there is an even better way to give yourself a little more leg room without sacrificing the important stuff; this secret way is called "shelving". Adding office shelving above your office desks is a spectacular storage alternative for places that may not have the floor space for wall cabinets and credenzas because it doesn't take up any room. By keeping things on the walls, the floor is freed up for the people and cool office chairs that have to use it, not the stuff that can't. And if you'd rather not alter the walls, assembling a shelving configuration to fit inside a small adds a lot more surface areas for things to rest should you need it.
Bookcases
Got a lot of books lying around? You're not the only one. All over the world there are tons of writers and readers that are probably wondering if they should turn their ergonomic workstations into libraries instead, and with all the books they've got, they probably could. Books are extremely useful to many businesses, but whether you keep them around for advice when a computer's on the fritz or just to chill out and enjoy a good story while you eat lunch, books can make for some clunky clutter. If you've got more books than you know what to do with, shelving may not always be the best option. While it does save you on square footage, sometimes setting up good bookcases can save you a lot more space (not to mention walls). Bookcases come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, so there is bound to be one that will fit every office. If you're looking for something for a sleek stylish office, metal bookcases have got the look for you, and if your office is an active one, modern bookcases usually have wheels so they can be rolled into closets while corner bookcases sit out of the way. Whatever you choose, a good bookcase is sure to save you room and gloom when you need a good book to liven up the lunch hour!
Carts
Perhaps one of the most overlooked ways to keep things out of the way in an office is through the use of mobile carts. Adding office carts to your workplace may be one of the best business decisions you ever make for a bunch of reasons. Not only do these babies clear up space, but they can hold just about anything, from files, to food, to printers, papers, and much more, and they can go just about anywhere. These versatile office carts are fantastic storage options that hold a ton with out taking up a ton of room. Wonderful in offices and schools alike, they make amazing printer stands as well as sturdy file trucks with locking capabilities, utility carts for things like staplers and tape dispensers, and even AV and TV carts for meetings and presentations.
File Cabinets
Many businesses that require the keeping of old papers and files as part of hard copy records can get into a big mess if they don't have quality office storage products to keep them in check. Fortunately, file cabinets have been around for quite a while now, but how do you know which ones to get. For offices, believe it or not, both lateral file cabinets and vertical file cabinets can come in all shapes and sizes, so its important to know what you want out of one and where you'd like it to go in your office before you get one. But file cabinets aren't just great for offices. If you're an artist or architect, you don't have to throw out your old work because its in the way of your new stuff. Just adding a few flat file cabinets to your studio or next to your professional drafting tables can allow you to keep your work neat and out of the way.
