How to Reduce Clutter in Office Closets - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Some really good tips for organizing your office closet. If you do not already have proper shelving installed, is to, perhaps, invest in a really great shelving unit. If you do not have the budget to do that, then go ahead and just get any shelving, either off a website or online, just something so you can have and utilize all the vertical space in your closet area. Something that is really great is to get containers. They can be colorful. As long as they are sort of uniform, it is going to help the space to look a lot clearer. I would also recommend assigning a space to everything that you are putting in here. So, every container should have an assigned home for a certain item that you are putting in your closet. You can get these at any home store, in the organizational section for storage. I have binders up here, which is great. I highly recommend labeling the spines of your binders. So, for instance, I am going to know what is in a binder that has a label on it, but if it does not have a label on it, I am going to have to pull it out. Then you are going through everything. You might leave that out, and then you are going to have more clutter in your office than what you really need, so label. Over here I have these great bins. I am able to pull things out. There is pens and office supplies, so at the end of the day I do not have to search and think, “Where does that go,” because right here, I know there is paper clips and binder clips. I am able to access everything, and other members of the household are also able to access things, which is great. So, when someone is looking for something, you can just say, “Go in the office closet,” and they will be able to find it. These are also really great tools and they stack as well. So, you can utilize, again, the vertical space.
