Office storage ideas: shelving, pedestals and filing cabinets

Shelving is the simplest way to clear a cluttered desk. Start by listing what you actually keep: files, samples, books and stationery. Then choose open shelves for things you reach for daily.Closed cabinets suit paperwork and anything that looks untidy. Fix tall units to the wall for safety, and leave a gap at the top for air and cleaning.

Timber shelving warms up a plain room, while steel units suit stockrooms and print areas. Our Steenbok Storage range comes in several widths, so you can fit a corner or a full wall. Ask us for a measured quote.

Choosing the right desk size

Measure the room before you shop. A single user needs at least 1,200 mm of width, and more if you use two screens. Leave 900 mm behind the chair so you can stand up and move freely. Cable management matters too, so look for a desk with a cable tray or grommet holes. A small desk with good drawers often works better than a large bare one.

A tidy desk is not about owning less. It is about giving every pen, folder and cable a place to go, so you can find it quickly.

Desk accessories finish the job. A good organiser keeps pens and notebooks upright, a docking stand holds your phone at eye level, and a lamp saves your eyes at dusk. Start small with one or two items and see what your day needs. Most of our accessories are under R900, so you can try a few without a big spend. Pop in to Kempton Park and have a look.

Plan the room before you buy

Sketch the room and mark doors, windows and plug points. Note where people will sit and walk. Bring the sketch and measurements to our showroom, and we will suggest pieces that fit your space and your budget.

Storage that keeps a busy office tidy

Steenbok Storage pedestals, shelving and filing cabinets help teams keep paperwork off the desk. Measure your wall space first, then choose units that fit. Our staff in Kempton Park can help you plan the right mix.

A good office layout starts with how your team really works. Walk the floor, note who talks to whom, and leave clear paths between desks. Plan for storage early so paperwork never ends up on the floor. Werkplek can help you measure the space and choose desks, chairs and filing that fit your budget.
