Regardless of your line of work, the home office is the place you go to get things done. As a result, your home office should be a place of creativity and productivity – but that doesn’t mean it has to be cluttered. Well, here’s the good news for all the remote workers and telecommuters out there. Tons of home office furniture today offers innovative hidden storage and less-than-obvious features designed to keep your workspace organized and efficient so that you can focus all your energy on what needs to be done.
Between built-in outlets and charging stations, hidden drawers, concealed compartments, and cable management solutions for all your power cords, modern home office furniture has many great options that will help you to work smarter – not harder. Keep scrolling to see a few examples of this from our very own showroom.
Examples of Hidden Features & Storage for Home Office Furniture
Similar to the slim, hidden drawers we previously discussed in pieces like dressers, chests, nightstands, dining tables, servers or buffet tables, such design elements are present in modern home office furniture too. Whether in a desk, filing cabinet or credenza, these drawers seamlessly blend into the wooden frame making them nearly invisible. Since these drawers typically sit just below the desk top, this makes for stashing important documents, as well as pens, notepads, and other frequently used items. It also helps keep your workspace looking clean and clutter-free.
Many modern desks also come with hidden A/C outlets and USB charging ports built right into the design, so you can easily charge your devices without getting on your hands and knees to find the nearest outlet. These outlets are often tucked away in inconspicuous spots, so they’re ready when you need them but never in the way. Speaking of cables, many desks and credenzas now offer hidden or low profile slots in the table top specifically designed for power cable management. This helps you neatly route your power cords and charging cables to keep them out of sight. If your desk top already has a PC, laptop, printer, multiple monitors, or any number of other electronic devices, both of these solutions help keep your workspace streamlined so you can focus more on your work and less on those unsightly wires cluttering up your space.
The features above are great, but the next one might just be our favorite. Take the Sinclair Collection from aspenhome. While this collection also includes hidden drawers, power outlets and cord management slots like the ones we discussed above, the Sinclair desk (pictured right) features a clever twist to the idea of hidden storage. At first glance, there is a normal-looking drawer pull that opens a normal-looking drawer – but if you rotate the knob first and then pull, it unlocks a top secret locking drawer!
Finally, we’ve got a couple honorable mentions. First, for those who value flexibility, adjustable variable-height desks are an absolute game changer. Whether you prefer to sit or stand while working, these desks allow you to switch up your position throughout the day, boosting both comfort and focus. In most cases, the lift mechanisms are hidden and only apparent to the user.
Similarly, lift-top coffee tables are typically incognito and undistinguishable from regular coffee tables. While not a traditional desk, this multifunctional piece can be perfect for those with laid back home workspaces that may feature a sofa or loveseat. With a simple lift of the tabletop, you’ve got an instant laptop desk that provides a comfortable work surface without leaving your comfy seat.
