Add as a preferred source on Google

Running an office means we are always looking for items to help us organize in order to reduce clutter. Keeping our work area straightened is a way to reduce mental stress and fatigue, which will help to increase productivity. More than just making sure we have file cabinets, proper organization means we are trying to create a clear and tidy look in all areas of our business. Presenting an organized face to clients helps instill trust.

Here are a few things that can tackle those resistant cluttered areas and make them behave.

One great space saving way to organize is to place things on a wall instead of on a counter or table. These suction cup hooks offer that option in a transparent design. They have a heavy duty suction in their 2.5 inch cups that can hold up to seven pounds. They are easy to install, without drilling, onto any flat surface such as glass, metal, plastic, or ceramic walls.
There are plenty of items that might take up floor space, especially in our waiting areas. Keeping these areas presenting an attractive and organize appearance helps us establish a good first impression with our clients. Things like potted plants can look better when they are presented in a stacked or staged way. This Modern Village wooden step stool is just the right item. It is 10 inches tall and made of attractive acacia hardwood. It is sturdy, able to hold the weight of an adult, so more than up to the task of holding a potted plant or a stack of magazines away from the floor. Using a few of these near a window area can showcase various sizes and heights of plants for maximum appeal.
Whether in the break room, front office space, or the waiting area, having enough table space is often a problem. This Table Mate folding tray offers a sturdy and strong surface able to hold up to 40 pounds. The L shaped legs will slide under chairs or couches and will not interfere with our feet. The height is adjustable so it can be used in many areas. When not in use it can be folded and stored.
Clutter in the break room can lead to delays when we cannot find utensils. Often a break room kitchen can become a disorganized mess. We can go a long way in tackling that clutter with a utensil holder. This Home Acre Designs holder is great for storing those commonly used utensils out of the drawer and in easy reach. Can hold a variety of items that we might use in the break room area.
Drawers have a way of collecting debris. They also allow items to slide around which can completely disorganize the contents. These Home Goods liners are perfect for practically any drawer space. They can be cut to size easily and have a grid pattern to help measure the dimensions. They will prevent things from moving inside the drawer and also protect both the drawer and the contents from scuffs and scratches. These can be removed and rinsed with water if they become soiled.

These few items will go a long way in helping free up counter space, organize work and client areas, and reduce the cluttered appearance of our work sites. With just a little bit of initial effort these areas can remain organized and our productivity can increase.
