Finding smart storage solutions for the home is one thing – discovering solutions that stick is another. As such, we are always on the hunt for storage boxes, bins, and basically anything that will help us stay tidy in the long term.
As such, a home storage essential that has been on our radars (and in many of our staff members' shopping baskets) is the Martha Stewart plastic stackable office desk drawer organizers (available on Amazon). These clear bins allow for optimal visibility of their contents, while their stackability is great for space-saving on countertops and desks.
According to Stewart herself, organizing is a key priority in her own home, explaining that by keeping tidy, we also keep our mental health at bay.
'Staying organized saves time, boosts productivity, and helps minimize stress,' Stewart states on her blog. 'I am always looking for useful and attractive storage solutions that optimize space and control the clutter. From neat and tidy desk accessories to repurposed containers found at tag sales to commercial-sized wheeled units, there are so many ways to keep "a place for everything and everything in its place.'
These desk drawer organizers come as a set of six; each one measures L6in x W3in x H2in and is made to stack. In BPA-free plastic with gold trim, the non-slip feet are a useful addition that means they don’t slide about. You can visit Martha Stewart’s store on Amazon for loads more options.
Stewart's desk organizer also works just as well in a pantry, living room drawer, or bedroom). With all that said, however, creating an organized home office is arguably the most important of all spaces. It's where clarity and peace of mind impact the work you do – and that matters in today's world more than ever before.
'For as flexible as working from home may be, staying motivated in your place of comfort can be difficult. That's why it's so important to create a home office space that keeps you inspired throughout the day,' Stewart adds via Instagram.
Apart from the desk drawer, we love adding a select few other organizational tools to desk spaces. For example, pen holders and letter trays instantly clear clutter while, depending on the choice of item, can look chic and sleek. Additionally, we are partial to heightening the calm ambiance with a scented candle in a lavender or eucalyptus scent, which helps clear the clutter of the mind.

These slick and modern-looking holders are perfect for storing pens, pencils and other miscellaneous stationary items neatly.
This steady, durable letter tray is made of retro style MDF and anti-rust metal, with three tiers for sorting letters and notepads.
While not technically an organizational accessory, this candle looks gorgeous on a desk while providing a subtle scent of golden cypress, green petitgrain, and elemi resin. Its soothing scent helps contribute to a generally calm and organized office space.
