Home Office Storage

Working from home shouldn't mean living in chaos. Whether you're running a business from the spare bedroom or just trying to keep the household paperwork under control, the right office storage makes all the difference between a productive workspace and a cluttered nightmare.

We've got storage solutions for every type of home office - from the kitchen table setup to the dedicated study that actually stays organised.

 

Filing Cabinets That Actually Work

Let's be honest, most people's idea of filing is shoving everything into a drawer and hoping for the best. Our filing cabinets are designed for real life - proper hanging file systems, smooth-running drawers, and locks that actually keep nosy family members out of your important documents.

Choose from compact 2-drawer units that fit under most desks, or larger 4-drawer cabinets that can handle a proper business setup. Many come with wheels, so you can move them around when you're rearranging everything for the third time this year.

Home Office Storage for the Essentials

Pens that work, paper clips that aren't bent beyond recognition, and somewhere to put your phone that isn't buried under a pile of invoices. Desk organisers and drawer units help keep the everyday bits and pieces where you can actually find them.

Small drawer units fit perfectly beside your desk, whilst larger pedestal units can double as an extra office desk surface when you inevitably run out of space. Some even have locks - handy if you work in a shared space or have teenagers who "borrow" your good pens.

Bookcases and Display Storage

Books, binders, box files, and all those training manuals you swore you'd read someday - they all need somewhere to live. Our office bookcases range from simple open shelving to more substantial units with doors and drawers.
Adjustable shelves mean you can fit everything from paperbacks to arch lever files, and many come with the option to add doors later if you decide the "organised chaos" look isn't working for visitors.

Mobile Storage for Flexible Working

Sometimes you need to move your office around - maybe the dining table doubles as a workspace, or you hot-desk between different rooms. Mobile storage units on castors mean you can wheel your essential supplies wherever you're working.

Trolleys with multiple shelves work brilliantly for craft supplies, files, or general office bits. Many have locking wheels, so they stay put when you need them to, and smooth-rolling castors that won't scratch your floors.
Storage for Different Work Styles

The Minimalist: Clean-lined cabinets with hidden storage, everything tucked away behind doors. Perfect if you like clear surfaces and can actually remember where you put things.

The Organiser: Multiple drawer units, compartmentalised storage, and a proper filing system. For people who genuinely enjoy having a place for everything.

The Creative: Open shelving, display storage, and easy access to supplies. When half your work involves physical materials and inspiration boards.

The Pragmatist: Whatever works and fits the space. Mixed storage types, mobile options, and solutions that adapt when your needs change.

The main thing is choosing office storage that matches how you actually work, not how you think you should work. There's no point in buying an elaborate filing system if you're never going to use it properly.

Materials That Handle Daily Use

Most of our office storage comes in practical finishes that can cope with actual use. Melamine surfaces wipe clean easily, solid wood looks good and ages well, and powder-coated metal handles the occasional coffee spill without disaster.

White and light wood finishes help keep spaces feeling bright, whilst darker colours hide the inevitable scuffs and marks that come with regular use. Choose what works with your existing furniture or go completely different - it's your office.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Home Office Storage

For most home offices, a 2-drawer filing cabinet handles personal paperwork, bills, and small business files perfectly well. If you're running a proper business from home or need to keep several years of records, a 4-drawer unit gives you room to grow. The key is thinking about what you actually file versus what you scan and store digitally. Many people find a 2-drawer cabinet plus some desktop organisers covers everything without taking over the room.

Most of our desk-height storage units are designed to fit through standard UK doorways, but larger bookcases and tall cabinets might need assembling in the room where they'll live. Check the dimensions before ordering - particularly the width and diagonal measurements for items over 1.8m tall. Many larger units come flat-packed anyway, so assembly location isn't usually an issue. When in doubt, measure your doorways and hallways first.

Most of our filing cabinets include cam locks as standard - they're fine for keeping casual browsers out and meeting basic office security requirements. However, they're not bank vault quality, so don't rely on them for genuinely sensitive documents. The locks are more about privacy than serious security. If you need proper document security, consider a separate fireproof safe for the really important stuff and use the filing cabinet for everyday paperwork.

Absolutely. Filing cabinets work brilliantly in bedrooms for storing linens or craft supplies. Bookcases obviously work anywhere you need shelving. Mobile storage trolleys are handy in kitchens, bathrooms, or anywhere you need organised storage that can move around. The clean lines of most office furniture actually work well throughout the house - just because it's called office storage doesn't mean it has to live in an office.

Laminate (melamine) surfaces are practical, easy to clean, and handle daily wear well without showing every mark. They're also much more affordable. Solid wood looks more sophisticated and ages beautifully, but costs more and needs occasional care to keep looking good. For home offices, laminate often makes more sense unless you're going for a particular look. Both are durable enough for home use - it's really about budget and aesthetics.

Good quality mobile units use soft-wheel castors that won't scratch hard floors. However, cheaper units sometimes have harder wheels that can mark wooden or vinyl flooring. Look for units specifically mentioning floor-friendly castors if you've got delicate flooring. Locking wheels are also worth having - there's nothing more annoying than storage that rolls away every time you try to open a drawer.

This varies enormously depending on the unit. Basic bookcases might handle 10-15kg per shelf, whilst heavy-duty storage units can take 30kg or more. Check the specifications for each product - they should list maximum shelf loads. Remember that books are surprisingly heavy, and box files full of paperwork weigh more than you'd expect. If in doubt, distribute weight evenly and don't overload the top shelves of tall units.

Many of our taller bookcases and storage units come with wall fixing brackets, and we'd always recommend using them if you have children around. Even adults can pull over a top-heavy unit if they're not careful. Wall mounting is particularly important for tall, narrow units or anything over chest height. The fixings are usually included, but you might need different screws depending on your wall type - plasterboard, solid walls, etc.
