Organizing a home office can be as ‘daunting as a diet regime’ says designer Chris Plantan, co-founder of Russell+Hazel office supplies. Her quick and easy tips:
- Use trolleys and trays with handles to pile papers and keep things portable.
- Keep everyday files close at hand. File away papers you access less often.
- Color-code binders to help keep papers categorized and easily transportable.
- For easy access – store small items (like paper clips, push pins, pencils, etc.) in a jewelry box like Pottery Barn’s large ‘McKenna.’
Today’s blend of work and home life means we often need to work at off times and in different locations within our homes. Not everyone has the luxury of a dedicated home office space. It’s critical to look at different rooms within your home and ask yourself ‘Could I work in here?’ …
Flexibility and style are key. Dual-purpose furniture, lots of work surface and as much open space as you can spare will morph any space into a workstation. Dining room sideboards, coffee tables and trolleys can become instant work surfaces according to Plantan. Russell+Hazel, offers a wonderful selection of color-coded binders, acrylic trays and candy-colored bins to get the job done right.
