Office storage is essential for keeping your workplace organised and tidy, and it's also a vital part of storing private and confidential documents. Whether you need to store confidential files, office supplies such as equipment, or larger items such as surplus PCs and workstations, we’ve got you covered. Our office storage cabinets can be used to store a variety of items and office supplies, and with a huge range to choose from, you're guaranteed to discover the perfect storage solutions for you. Whether trying to upgrade your home office or fitting out a whole building, picking the correct storage for you can be difficult. But don’t worry, we’ve got all the information you need to make your decision.
Consider your needs.
When choosing storage options for your office, whether it’s for a home or commercial office, you first need to consider your storage needs. What is it you’re looking to store? Do you need storage options for paper and important documents? Or how about open storage for things such as books and awards? Adequate storage solutions contribute to a streamlined workflow by ensuring that essential documents, supplies, and equipment are readily accessible. Knowing what your needs are will make choosing your storage solutions a lot simpler. Here are a couple of things to think about when beginning to look at storage options:
- What is the volume and nature of the items that you need to store?
- Futureproofing – anticipating future growth and changes in office dynamics ensures that the chosen storage solutions can adapt to evolving needs.
- Aesthetics – your storage solutions need to complement the office branding and style.
Open shelving or doors and drawers?
Choosing the type of storage, you go for and how they look is also important and the choice you go for will depend on the nature of the items you want to store. You wouldn’t want to store loose papers and files on an open bookshelf, would you? Aside from looking messy and having the potential of becoming damaged, there are other neater and more visually appealing solutions you can consider, such as filing cabinets for example.
You can choose storage with drawers and doors, or you can get open faced bookshelves. Bookshelves are ideal for storing and displaying items such as books, binders, or decorative pieces. They offer easy visibility and quick access to the contents, making them suitable for items that are frequently used or need to be readily accessible. Bookshelves also contribute to an open and airy feel in the office, promoting a sense of transparency and collaboration.
Closed drawers provide a more discreet option, hiding items from view and creating a neater appearance. This is beneficial for maintaining a tidy and professional look in the office, especially when storing items that may not need constant access or are more personal in nature. Drawers are also suitable for securing sensitive documents or office supplies that you prefer to keep out of sight.
Do you need a lock?
If you’re dealing with important documents or need to follow GDPR regulations, then you might require a lock on your storage. A tambour unit would be a good choice for locking away important documents.
Consider things like valuable equipment that needs to be locked away and protecting employee privacy and legal requirements. Do you need lockers for your staff or clients to lock away their belongings safely? Do you need a locked tambour unit for those important and critical documents to make sure they are safe and secure?
How much space do you have?
How much room do you have? Whether it’s a home office or a large open office space you need consider the amount of storage you need compared to how much space you have available. If you have a minimal amount of space, you may need under desk draws. No one likes a cluttered office and it’s important that your storage solutions are appropriate for the space you have, if you need storage but don’t have enough space in your office then maybe you have outgrown your office and need to consider your options for expanding.
