Working from home presents different challenges than working in a traditional office. Some homes have dedicated space for a home office, but most homes do not have that luxury. In the typical setting, the office can be placed in a spare bedroom or the den. Quite often, the living room becomes command central for your business at home.
As your home office expands and you need more storage space, the good news is that there are storage solutions that are not only practical but also stylish. Suppose you are eclectic and enjoy random styles cobbled together, like a white storage cabinet with orange and green file cubbies, or a more traditional furniture person who enjoys matching pieces for congruent flow. In either case, there are selections you are sure to fall in love with.
Book Cases
Bookcases are easy to incorporate into most settings and a no-brainer for a home office. They come in sizes from the diminutive low two-shelf models to the towering six-shelf models and even shelves that will fit into a corner. To contain supplies, consider a shelf with cabinet drawers below. Bookshelves, of course, hold more than just books and can be used to display art, plants, and decorative items, seamlessly blending work and home.
Credenzas
