Children’s rooms and home offices can quickly become cluttered. These 18 ideas for DIY desk organization systems help keep documents and small supplies within reach while freeing up work surface space.
Space-saving ideas for desk organization systems
Living space is often limited, and one room may need to hold several pieces of furniture. Long desks with many drawers are therefore often replaced by smaller, compact designs. But where should all the little things go, such as pens, business cards, clips, computer glasses and notes? The wall is a good answer. Make small cardboard shelves, sew several pockets onto an old piece of fabric, or build a simple wooden storage system. With a little creativity, wall organizers can look original and save a surprising amount of space. Other ideas for compact office organization systems include plastic storage units with separate compartments for supplies and even small plants.

In a child’s room, storage can also be built directly around the desk. Cut cardboard into different compartments, or simply reuse old shoe boxes and cover them with colorful wrapping paper. Different colors and patterns create a cheerful mood and make the contents easier to recognize. Blue boxes might hold pencils, for example, while orange ones can be used for brushes.
