What I really love about Olioboard is that you can also use it as a way to help with your organizing projects, and to show you, I was personally invited to be part of a super sweet bloghop {a.k.a. Oliohop} being hosted by Olioboard!
I sway from time to time on my favorite spaces to design and organize. Some days I may say playrooms, others I may lean towards craft rooms and office spaces. Maybe I am drawn to both types of spaces since they are often times considered "creative" zones and also because they require additional organization and storage due to all of the items that are typically packed into these multifunctional spaces.
Since I already shared my "Playroom Must Haves", I thought today I would share my Organized Office Must Haves. Then, for fun, I will share how I used Olioboard to help me whip up an example of an uber organized and stylish home office space {because the two should totally go hand in hand right?!}
So without further ado, my home office must haves:

The basic foundation of any office is a proper workspace, which should be sizable enough to handle basic bill paying and everyday office duties.

Whether sitting for a couple of minutes to check up on a few emails or for many continuous hours telecommuting, some cush for your tush will ensure you are left smiling at the end of your work session.

Working in poorly lit spaces can cause strain on your peepers, so I always recommend some sort of task lighting both on the work surface and also overhead.

One of the main functions of the home office is to manage all of those family and personal papers and documents. Everything from bills to "To Do" lists, paper piles can stack up quickly. Proper paper storage, whether wall mounted, a filing cabinet, or a combination of both, will keep the workspace clutter free.

Not every home office is intended to host a variety of crafts, but many do by nature. From fabric and sewing materials to scrapbooking and wrapping supplies, every last function should be considered. Larger armoires and cabinets are a great way to stash away craft materials of all sizes, and adding in baskets and jars for the smaller items gives you the perfect combination of great crafting storage.

Some of my favorite workspaces come with a pop of pattern and color. Whether on the floor, on the wall or brought in through chair upholstery, pattern will ensure that the space where you "work" will leave you feeling inspired and cheerful.
So now that we know all of the items I am sure to consider and incorporate when working on any home office, I thought I would turn to Olioboard to go through the checklist and create the ultimate functional and organized workspace!

A fabulous desk combined with two super soft office chairs sets the stage for the space. Task lighting doesn't have to be specific to swing arm lamps, a pretty table lamp can be equally as effective and bring some style to the room. To manage paper clutter, a combination of wall mail sorters and a colorful filing cabinet should cover both current and archived paper piles. Let's say this space is also doubling as a small studio, a tall armoire with glass doors, wire baskets and glass jars, allow the craft supplies and fabric swatches to remain visible and inspirational. To bring in the pattern, the lovely wallpaper on a focal wall {or lining the back of the craft cabinet}, would be sure to be the icing on the organized office cake. And never forget the fresh flowers! No space is complete without them.
Isn't it neat how the moodboard covered all of the essential office requirements? You could even go down to the specifics of pencil cup holders and drawer dividers if you wish! Love.
