Keeping organised in my home office is an ongoing challenge! I look back over the years as I’ve grown from the living room floor to the kitchen table, to a tiny spare bedroom to my current office which is a big double bedroom sized room and I wonder – how on Earth did I manage to keep organised back then, let alone now? I remember one Christmas working from a giant cardboard box as a makeshift table because I just got way too many orders to fit in the kitchen. It’s nice to look around my pretty, colourful home office now and feel somewhat more settled, haha.
Organising my orders is one of the most important parts of my business. I have to keep them in sight, safe so as to not lose any customer information and I have to be able to separate the ones that are ready to be shipped, from the ones that need to be made, from the ones that have just come in. I’ve tried loads of different ways to keep them, but this wall unit from IKEA is by far my favourite. I’ve had letter racks before, but they take up valuable desk space of which I’ve never really had much so when we bought our house this was one of the very first things to be mounted to the wall! It’s made of metal, too, so it’s really robust!
I added some colourful flowers to make the area less business and more fun and bright and it sits just below my handmade noticeboard which is decorated with colourful letters too. The table underneath I actually created from a long, thin shelf from IKEA and some table legs as I was looking for something really bespoke for the narrow space – it’s perfect for making a huge batch of jewellery and light enough to move around the room as and when I need extra workspace, but also sits neatly under my windows to create a pretty display when not in use.
So that’s one of my favourite corners in my home office – you can see more peeks into my studio here.
