Organize Your Home Office

Leah Meldman 23/08/2025

Every year, Organize Your Home Office Day reminds us how vital a clutter-free workspace can be. But you don’t have to wait for the holiday to give your office a refresh. Whether you work from home full-time or part-time, a tidy space makes it easier to focus and stay productive. Here are some simple ways to get started.

Out with the Old

Start by clearing out old paperwork that’s accumulating cob webs. It’s time to get rid of it! Shred documents with personal information and recycle the rest. If you haven’t used something in months, it may be time to say goodbye. I’m talking about supplies, extra equipment, and even your desktop decorations that add clutter. Yes, your figurines might be clutter. You’ll be surprised how much space you can reclaim.

In with the New

Once you’ve cleaned things out, reward yourself with a fresh setup. Choose furniture that makes staying organized easier. A desk with built-in storage or an optional hutch can help you keep everything in its place.

The Amish Stonehill Modern Credenza Desk with Optional Hutch Top provides designated spaces for supplies, files, and tasks, making it a smart choice for an office makeover.

Roll with It

If you’re not ready for a full refresh, try a small change. A rolling file cabinet keeps papers organized and can slide under your desk when not in use.

A rolling desk chair can also make a difference. Move between zones with ease using the Amish Upholstered Executive Office Chair.

Create Zones to Stay on Track

Dividing your workspace into zones helps you stay focused. Try keeping one zone dedicated to computer work and another for tasks like sorting papers, signing documents, or stamping envelopes. This keeps your workflow organized and prevents distractions.

The Amish Buckingham U Shaped Desk is designed for multitasking. Keep your computer on one side and reserve the other for paperwork. Its generous layout helps keep clutter under control.
