The final installment of our January organization series brings us to your home office – a space that needs to support both productivity and peace of mind. Whether you're managing household paperwork or running a business, your home office should fuel focus, not frustration.
After organizing closets, kitchens, and living rooms this month, we're turning to what might be the most challenging space of all. Why? Because home offices often become the default destination for everything that doesn't have a clear home elsewhere – random papers, old electronics, and those "I might need this someday" items.
But an organized office isn't just about aesthetics. Studies show that a clutter-free workspace can significantly improve concentration, reduce stress, and boost productivity.
Today, our experts share their proven strategies for creating an office that works as hard as you do.
Expert Tips for Office Organization

Brandon Stoute, our Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Organizing Services, emphasizes creating systems for paper management:
Mail Processing:
Remove unwanted mail accumulation by immediately sorting and destroying unneeded solicitations, expired coupons, and advertisements.
Strategic Filing:
Implement a clear system for important documents like bills, medical records, and receipts. Consider scanning documents when possible to reduce paper clutter.
Surface Management:
Utilize drawer space and desktop organizers to contain loose items, keeping your workspace clear for actual work.

Rylee Martin, our Senior Interior Designer & Professional Organizer, focuses on maximizing your vertical space:
Vertical Solutions:
Take advantage of wall space with shelving and hanging organizers. Think up, not out, when planning storage.
Smart Storage:
Invest in quality filing cabinets and bookshelves that complement your decor while providing ample storage.
Drawer Organization:
Transform desk drawers with organizers designed specifically for office supplies, creating designated spaces for every tool.
