Tricks To Maximise Your Storage Space

The paperwork is piling up in the office and it’s become impossible to find tools in the garage. The children’s toys have become a trip hazard and your wardrobe is overflowing, it is definitely time to invest in some more storage.

If you already have cabinets or wardrobes lining the walls then you may be wondering where on earth this extra storage is going to fit. Rather than taking up additional and no doubt precious space, it is a good idea to maximise the storage space that you already have. Here are a few tricks that will help you to get the most out of your storage space:

• Add shelving - If you’re low on storage and have free wall space, make use of it and add some shelves, keeping your floor space free.
• Floor to ceiling storage - Built-in drawers and wardrobes will avoid wasting any space. Invest in a step to reach the top if you must - it will take up a lot less space than an additional chest of drawers! 
•  Mobile shelving systems – Mobile shelving is a great way to maximise storage space. Rows of shelves that move along rails are compacted together, unlike fixed traditional shelving which requires a space between each row. To access a shelf, you must simply slide the rows along to open up the shelf you require.

3 Ways to Make the Most of Your Office Space

So, you’ve invested in one of our fantastic mobile shelving systems, and in doing so you’ve opened up a lot of new space in your office.

Gone are the days of squeezing between shelves trying to get to the water cooler – in fact, you’ve ended up with room to spare. Now there’s only one question that needs to be answered: how are you going make the most of it?

Bring People Together with a Communal Area

Once upon a time companies liked to keep their workers neatly partitioned off in little cubicles, leaving them to work independently, but now we’re in the era of interaction between employees, with businesses increasingly encouraging their workers to bump minds and come up new and creative solutions, together. Creating a communal area for meetings – including spontaneous ideas sessions – can be a great way to capitalise on the collective power of your office’s best minds.

Inspire Creativity with Space to Relax

A lot of digital companies have made a name for themselves by inviting their employees to combine work and play, with quirky additions such as slides and mini-golf courses helping people to let off some steam, simultaneously sparking off the creative process. Although a Helter Skelter might be a bit ambitious for most office spaces, a creative company that has found themselves with some extra room could consider bringing in a pool table or some construction toys, as letting workers get in touch with their playful side can help them to start thinking outside of the box.

Cleanse the Air with an Office Plant

Plants provide an incredible boost to the office environment, giving vital oxygen back to the air, helping employees to de-stress, and even increasing productivity – and all of that is in addition to the fact that they will brighten up the space, giving the room an instant makeover. Although pot plants on desks can work fine, when you’ve got the space you can go for something a little more exciting, with spider plants, peace lilies and lemon balm all being popular choices. Incredibly, office plants can even soak up some of the distracting noise produced by phone calls, conversation and buzzing PCs.

There you have it: three productive ways to fill up your office space. If you’re still in need of some storage solutions for your business then we’d love to help – just get in touch at 01444 220290 to find out more!
