Small Home Office, Big Productivity: Smart Storage Ideas for Every Space
If you’re working from home in Australia, chances are your “office” might be sharing space with a guest room, living area, or even the kitchen. But here’s the good news: you don’t need a huge room to have a productive workspace - you just need smart storage.
At Smart Storage AU, we’ve helped thousands of Aussies turn tiny corners into clutter-free, highly functional offices. Here’s how you can do the same.
1. Declutter Before You Store
Before buying shelves or organisers, clear the space. Remove items you don’t use weekly. Keep your desk surface clear except for essentials like your laptop, notepad, and a good cup of coffee.
Pro tip: Decluttering isn’t just about looks - studies show it boosts focus and reduces stress.
2. Go Vertical
When floor space is limited, think up, not out.
- Floating shelves keep documents, plants, and decor within reach but off your desk.
-
Wall-mounted pegboards hold stationery, headphones, and tech accessories.

3. Multi-Functional Furniture
Choose pieces that work double-duty:
- Ottomans with storage for extra seating and hidden files.
- Filing cabinets that double as printer stands.
- Convertible desks that fold away when the workday ends.
4. Under-Desk Organisation
Don’t let the space under your desk go to waste.
- Use rolling storage drawers for stationery and cables.
- Add a small filing cabinet to keep papers tidy but accessible.
5. The Power of Clear Storage
Transparent bins and organisers let you see exactly what’s inside without rummaging. They’re especially useful for craft materials, office supplies, or tech cables.
6. Keep Cables Under Control
Messy cords create visual chaos. Use cable clips, under-desk trays, or even a stylish cable box to keep them out of sight and mind.
7. Personalise Your Space
The best storage isn’t just functional - it makes you want to be in your workspace. Add personal touches like framed photos, plants, or a decorative organiser that matches your style.
