How to Organize a Home Office Vertically

Video Transcript

"Hello! My name is Melissa Schenk and on behalf of Expert Village, today we're going to talk about how to design the home office of your dreams. In this clip, I want you to think vertically. By that I mean make use of all the space in your room. You may or may not want to do this. What I mean about thinking vertically is making use of the space on your walls. Some of your paper work might not just have to go on your desktop, but it can actually go on your walls. If you go into the stores, they have so many storage items. Even if you go looking for fixtures that are for bathrooms or kitchens. Some things actually do work for offices. You may want a bulletin up on the wall or you might want to put your files in folders. What we've opted here is we actually made a bulletin board out of an old window frame. We've added the cork board on the side, but then a chalkboard in the middle as well. In the middle, we can post notes to each other, my husband and I, or we can post pictures and put them on the side here. We wanted to be a little bit more creative. Because it is a home office, we still wanted it to have our own personal touch to it, which is why we made our own piece here. Again, thinking vertically, just basically what I'm trying to teach you is that you don't necessarily have to use the space on your desk. You can use and maximize your wall space as well."
