Organization doesn't have to come at the cost of appearance; if anything, organizational supplies can be used to add a surprising amount of color to your home office. These accessory ideas will help you organize your workspace while showcasing your coordinated office design.
Put Those Pens Away in Unconventional Pen Holders
Whether they're rolling around in drawers or cluttering your letter tray, pens can be an organizational nightmare. Instead, put those pens within reach with a series of creative pen holders. The new desk accessory called "grip grass" is a dual purpose gadget that holds pens, clips, even paper, and an interesting sculptural piece for your desk top. Mason jars have regained in popularity, add a touch of color by spray painting the jars in the colors of your office decor. Use fun and whimsical mugs, colorful glass tumblers, small plant holders, bud vases, or large candle holders as clever alternatives instead of conventional pen holders.
Let Decorative Boxes Brighten Your Shelves
A shelf full of books looks neat and tidy; but in the modern-day, you probably have fewer books and more tangled cords and tech accessories. Look for decorative storage boxes that can fit comfortably on your shelves, and use them to collect and sort your office's various loose ends. Try to find bright colors that go with your scheme; boxes that "pop" will help break up the straight lines that shelving creates.
Revitalize Your Desk with a Coordinated Accessory Set
Your desk is probably covered in little things - a tape dispenser, a stapler, a notebook or memo pad. Did you know that your small accessories can match? Desk accessory kits like Poppin's Dream Desk Set combine everything your desk needs with the visual gratification of a matching color scheme. If you don't find a set you like, keep an eye out for accessories that match your color palette; you could stick with a normal tape dispenser, or you could have one in sky blue.
Use Decorative Binder Clips for Creative Cable Management
The final step to an organized home office is to do something about those cords dangling off the back of your desk. These days, office supply stores often sell decorative cord management clips and they come in a variety of colors, and likely have a set in your color palette. Attach clips to the edge of your desk and run your cords through the loops for an instantly more organized look.
