Are you trying to get more organized in your home office and have run out of ideas? Here are some creative ways to solve clutter dilemma.

Roll-away cart – If your home office doubles as a spare room and you have visitors coming, you may need to stash some of your work to make room. Use a rolling serving cart as the side of your makeshift L-shaped desk. That way you can put your files, supplies, materials and laptop on it and roll it into a closet or another room to give your guests space and you access to your work while they are visiting.

Toothbrush holder – Choose the style that has individual holes to keep your colored pens, highlighters, and pencils from getting lost in a jumble.

Magnetic spice containers – Attach to the underside of your desk or shelf for easy storage of push pins, paperclips, staples, etc.

Upcycled old shutter – Remove the top slats and insert corkboard. Use the bottom slats to sort mail, stash business cards, or to place upcoming event notes.

Magazine caddies – Purchase a hanging or leaning magazine display case, similar to the ones that are popular at a doctors office. Use them to sort paperwork, files or project samples. Brochure stands work to separate out jewelry or similar craft business supplies and materials.

Shoe or poster caddy – Have lots of blueprints and other project materials to keep separate? Get a shoe caddy for small documents and a poster caddy for larger samples and design plans.

Don’t be limited by traditional desks and drawers. Think creatively to make the most of your home office storage space.
