If you work in a home office, then it’s really important to keep it organised and as clutter-free as possible. A messy office can mean less concentration, and it will only cause less productivity and add stress. Having proper storage space is just one of the things you can do to make your office look more organised and tidy. This article serves as a guide to home office storage.

Having shelves in your home office space is a great way to create more space, and to have more space to store all your other necessary office supplies. It’s a great way to maximise the storage space on your office walls. You can use basic shelves, floating shelves, or use stackable shelves. Whichever type of shelves you decide to use, it’s a great solution to help create more floor space for other things, such as your office desks, file cabinets, home office chair, and other office furniture you may need.

Placing filing cabinets in your home office is a great solution for storing all of your important files and information. You can use stackable filing cabinets when home office space is limited, which then eliminates the need for rearranging other office furniture to make room for another file cabinet.

By using stackable file cabinets in your home office, you are increasing your storage capability without using up precious floor space.

Use storage bins and boxes in your home office to help create more space. You can place the boxes and bins right on the floor or you could place them on your wall shelves or book shelves.

The storage and placement possibilities of these storage bins and boxes are virtually limitless. Wherever you decide to place them, they can nicely fit into the decor of your home office, while increasing your storage space.

These cabinets are wonderful for creating more storage space, not only in your home office, but anywhere in the home. Because they can be transported to different locations, it’s easy to find the right place for them. You can move them whenever you need to rearrange your office furniture, and they hold everything from files, books, or any type of office supplies you may need.

Bed bugs are tiny little parasites that feed on blood. They like to hide anywhere, but the places they tend to hide most is the well lived spaces in your home. Even though they are called bed bugs, that’s not the only place they like to live and feed. These wingless, tiny bugs will also hide in your chairs, couches, and other furnishings.

To get rid of these annoying bugs you need to wash all of your bedding - this includes pillows.

After washing, you need to dry all of it in the dryer with the heat setting on high for at least 20 minutes. Bed bugs can’t live in high heat for more than 20 minutes, so drying the bedding until dry on high heat will kill them.

Inspect your bed mattress and if you see bed bugs, take some heavy-duty duct tape, lift and remove them from the bed mattress, clothes, floor, and anywhere else that you see them.

Don't do this

The worst thing you could do is vacuum them up, because they will just crawl out of the vacuum and go right back to you your bed, and other furnishings.

One way to repel these annoying little parasites from your bed is to take some scented dryer sheets and place about 8 to 10 of them between your mattress and the box spring. You will want to do the same thing on top of the mattress.

Tips

Place them between the mattress and your bed sheets, and don’t forget to place about 1 or 2 sheets inside both pillow cases. For your chairs, couches, and other furnishings, place about two to three dryer sheets under the cushions to help keep the bed bugs away. The reason why the dryer sheets repel bed bugs is because they don’t like the smell and they stay away.

For further preventative techniques, you can take duct tape and wrap the bed legs and rails with the duct tape. Make sure to wrap them with the sticky side out, this will prevent the bed bugs from crawling into your bed. Remember that they are wingless, so they don’t fly.

Do the same thing for the legs of your chairs, couches, and other furnishings you have in the house.

These are just a few of the things you can do to get rid of bed bugs and to help keep them from coming back and invading your home.
