Its so important for your space to be prioritized for activity instead of storage, Ivey tells SELF.
Conversely, our work could also be infiltrating other formerly single-use rooms.
Its important to be able to switch from work mode to home and relaxation and vice versa.
Creating an organized home office space can help with this daily transition.
Do you need wall space to tape and tack things up?
Are you using a laptop or a desktop?
What else do you use your work space for?
Figuring out how the spaceshouldfunction will help determine what surfaces it’s possible for you to utilize.

Wisfor Bamboo Monitor Stand
Amazon
Ivey recommends purchasing a monitor stand that doubles as compartmented storage space.
This multifunctional stand accommodates most laptops and monitors, and keeps essential office supplies within reach, she says.
It can help you find items easier and get to things faster on your desk, she tells SELF.
Plus, the fact that its clear lets you know when supplies are running low.

Franklin Brass Decorative Hooks
Target
Display-organizer hybrids are great multifunctional options.
Hayslett is a fan of using wall hooks as organizers.
Mount as many as 10 hooks for an organized office with flair.
The best inbox is slim and adjacent to, instead of on top of, your desk.
Her preference is this rose gold hanging file organizer that adds both function and style to any office.
This upholstered screen comes in an impressive assortment of designs that will add a punch of color and texture.
Plus, she says, it can also be used as a pinboard for when inspiration strikes.
She recommends storing items like your laptop, papers, and notebooks in these round woven lidded baskets.
Unsurprisingly, theyre also home office-friendly.
For loose items that you constantly need access to, Dabito suggests keeping them in these open options.
I like woven baskets because they still look decorative on display in bookcases or shelves, he says.
Keep them within reach on floating shelves or on the floor adjacent to your desk.
Buy a few and designate one specifically for extra supplies.
