Organizing Solutions for a Small Desk
Keeping a desk organized is challenging at best, but can feel almost impossible when working on a small desk with a limited work surface.
Trying to find storage solutions for your small desk can be equally challenging. Large desk hutches can overwhelm a small desk or office and a variety of pen holders, post-it pads and random small desk accessories can themselves result in clutter!
One way to maximize the desk top surface is to use a Desk Top Riser. This unique desk organizer is a shelf that sits on your desk (like a desk hutch, but much smaller) with storage space below. This one pictured below includes shelf dividers, so that you can store books or reference materials without fear of them falling off and knocking over your hot cup of coffee!
The Desk Top Riser is only about 12” deep, which is deep enough to hold your miscellaneous office items, but not too deep to overpower your desk.
For even smaller desks, try the Desktop Accessory Shelf. Although, smaller than the Desk Top Riser, pictured below, includes a built-in pull out drawer below for small office supplies.
If your desktop or laptop computer takes up most of the desk surface, you could try the Desk Monitor Stand. The Desk Monitor Stand includes a pull out drawer beneath with storage for office supplies, plus two side compartments to hold files, CDs or important documents.
Desk organizers are designed only to organize your everyday office supplies, so schedule time everyday to file away papers and tidy up the clutter!
