Today we are looking at organising your Home Office for the new year ahead. Fill your office with pretty office supplies and paper. Follow these simple tips to an organised and beautiful Home Office.
Something Green
Add some fresh flowers from the garden or a lush green fern to your desk to breath some fresh air into your office space.
Lighting
Lighting in your office is important, especially task lighting. This lamp from Freedom Furniture came with a black shade.
I have added some white ribbon stripes around the shade to dress it up for my desk. I didn’t want the stripes to be permanent so I have attached them with double sided tape.
Folding over one side of the ribbon to give it a finished look. If you are after something a little more permanent you can use a small amount of craft glue and apply with a paint brush so as not to leave glue marks that show through your ribbon.
Storage
Using decorative items such as glass jars, ginger jars and small trinket bowls are a great way to keep your small office accessories organised. Store your pins and paperclips in the small containers and use your ginger jars or larger glass containers to store your receipts and bits and pieces to keep your office clean and free of clutter.
File your receipts away in a folder with clear plastic sleeves and clearly label each month. Storage trays for the office are a great way to keep track of your paperwork.
Comfort
A comfortable office chair is a must especially when you can be sitting at your desk for long hours. Add a soft comfy cushion to support your back.
Inspiration Board & Artwork

No matter how I try, my office always ends up being a dumping ground for paperwork. I keep it relatively tidy but I still have a lot of stuff on my desk. I think I need to relook at the situation and work out a better way to place everything.
