I think it’s safe to say everyone likes their workspace at least somewhat organized, right? However, depending on your office space, a filing cabinet or pedestal may actually clutter your space and just make things worst. Yes, all your papers are filed away nicely, but now you can’t get out of your chair without banging your knee on a storage unit. This is where our advice comes in handy. On the 4th day of Office Tips, EthoSource said to me… Be a savvy organizer! We’ll tell you how.
Man, we are just hitting all of your New Years Resolutions with this countdown! So you’re looking to get more organized, and we can help you do it in the best way for you. The days of big old clunky filing cabinets are with the Ghost of Christmases past! You want something that gets the job done, but also looks good in your office. Otherwise, you’ll be all organized, but still feel cluttered. This is where low-height storage and mobile pedestals come in big! Let’s explain.
Low-height storage. These units can come in a couple different styles. They can have drawers for lateral filing on one side with shelving on the other or simply one or the other. The best part about low-height storage units is that they can fit easily under worksurfaces or tables so that they stay out of the way, but remain fully accessible to you (a lot of the times without you even needing to stand up!). You can also customize them to make your office look even prettier with little effort! Choose fun fabric cushion top fabric colors or nice laminate surfaces (or a combination of the two!) to add a nice aesthetic touch to your filing, or even provide an additional seating option for your office. Talk about saving space! Is there anything these units can’t do?? Check them out here.
Maybe that all sounds wonderful, but you really don’t use that much storage that often. Presenting, solution #2: mobile pedestals. These little guys are extremely flexible storage units due to their size and ability to be rolled around the office. With wheels, it’s easy to move your storage here and there when it’s needed or when it’s not! They too fit under worksurfaces quite nicely, so you can tuck them away when you’re not using it or choose to roll it far far away when you’re just sick of working altogether! (we all get to that point from time to time) It can also be customized with colored cushion top fabrics in a variety of styles and patterns, so you can get a look that matches your office and adds some color to your day. Have a surprise visitor? Tell them to pull up a mobile ped and have a seat! The cushion serves multiple purposes. Check out more info on mobile peds.
Both of these filing options can help you get your office tidied up, so you can be more productive and organized in the new year! These solutions are smart, savvy ways to maximize your filing without packing your work area full of cabinets, units and towers.
