Top-Tier Organizational Items for an Efficient Home Office Setup
In the quest for a clutter-free and efficient workspace, BuzzFeed Staff have curated a list of popular organizing tools that are perfect for small spaces. These recommendations are based on tested recommendations and reader feedback, ensuring that you get the best products to help you stay organized and productive.
### Cable Management
Keeping wires tidy is essential for a tidy workspace. Cable Organizers such as Velcro ties, spiral wrap, or cable clips can help maintain a neat appearance. Desk Grommets are also useful, allowing you to feed cables through your desk neatly.
### Paperwork Storage
Desktop File Holders, whether in the form of letter trays or vertical holders, can help sort papers by priority. A3 Magazine Holders are recommended for storing notebooks and small binders upright.
### Desk Accessories
Pen Cups & Caddies keep essential writing tools within reach but contained. Monitor Stands with Storage maximize vertical space, offering hidden storage for keyboards or notebooks. Drawer Organizers (divider trays) are a must for drawers to compartmentalize small items.
### Tech Gadgets
Headphone Hooks keep headphones hung under the desk, while Clipboard with Storage is useful for frequently referenced papers and small office supplies. Portable Charging Stations for phones and tablets are essential for keeping your devices powered throughout the day.
### Wall & Overhead Storage
Wall-mounted Grid Panels, such as Pegboards or IKEA Skadis, are ideal for hanging small office supplies, plants, and decor. Floating Shelves provide additional storage for books, boxes, and decorative pieces. Cork or Magnetic Boards are perfect for pinning notes and memos.
### Clever Containers
Mini Drawer Sets, such as Muji-style or acrylic drawers, are perfect for tiny items like paper clips, thumbtacks, and USB drives. Foldable Boxes & Bins offer flexible, under-desk storage that can be tucked away. Hanging Organizer Pockets are useful for clipboards, notebooks, or files on the wall surface.
### BuzzFeed-Approved Brands & Shopping Tips
BuzzFeed Staff often recommend shopping at affordable, stylish retailers such as IKEA, Target, MUJI, The Container Store, and Amazon. They suggest multi-functional products (like mini drawers that double as display stands, or monitor risers with built-in USB hubs) and color-coordinated storage to keep things visually tidy.
### Pro Organizing Tip
BuzzFeed’s organizing experts frequently advise going vertical—using walls and shelves—to save desk space, and regularly decluttering (try the “five-second rule”: if you haven’t used it in five seconds, toss it or give it a home elsewhere).
For the most current recommendations, you can check BuzzFeed’s “Best Amazon Finds,” “Clever Organizing Hacks,” or “Work From Home Must-Haves” roundups. Their staff often update these lists seasonally or as new products launch.
