Working with office space can be difficult if you’re restricted to its size. And when it comes to a growing company, you want to ensure that you can grow without having to be falling over one another. So here’s how to improve the storage within your office space.

Office Layout

Keep Everything Off The Ground

The number one rule when it comes to organizing your space is to keep absolutely everything off the ground. With anything lying about on the floor, it immediately becomes a tripping hazard. It’s important that each and every object has a home and therefore, the more storage you can put in place, the fewer items you’ll have on the ground.

Ensure all staff members are taking advantage of what desk space and drawer space they already have. Office space can easily look cluttered just with what’s on the floor. It makes a big difference once it’s all been moved.

Use Floating Shelves

Floating shelves are great to store bits and pieces around the office. What’s more, they look great and can come in a variety of styles and shapes to help decorate the business premises. Whether it’s something neutral or you end up going for a geometric design that’s industrial, shelves are easy to assemble and are great for storage. It also helps with the point above about keeping things off the ground. You are likely to have a lot of wall space to work with, so don’t be afraid to start putting up shelves where you need them around the office.

Get A Storage Unit

A storage unit is handy for the equipment you don’t need at the moment, and that doesn’t need to be onsite all the time. It could be things for certain events you put on, Christmas decorations for the office or any paperwork that could do with filing away. You can reduce heavy lifting with shelf trolleys, and this could help with keeping things organized within a storage unit. Storage units do vary in costs so it’s worth considering how useful they’d be for you and whether they’re financially appropriate.

Have Multi-functional Furniture

In this day and age, furniture is designed in a variety of ways, and some can be very useful to have when it comes to small spaces. Multi-functional furniture is very good to have when you want to utilize what little space you do have.

You can get tables where the worktop comes off to reveal an empty space for keeping various objects in it. Seats and sofas can often lift up to reveal a space to file away any irrelevant documents that aren’t needed. Having these items of furniture around the place can really help. They not only help give the decor a boost, but they also provide the extra space you need to make the office feel a little more comfortable.

If you’re trying to make your office space a little less cramped, then there’s plenty of ways to introduce better storage systems by following the tips above.
