From chaos to order: Choose the right office shelf

Choose the right type of shelf

Always check the maximum load the shelves are intended for and remember that this applies to evenly distributed weight. Are they lighter items like binders to be stored or boxes with heavy contents?

The classic bookshelf in laminate with covered sides is always right in an office. Laminate shelves are durable and are available in several colors and different wood imitations. Perfect for books and binders. An interior design tip is to mix low and high shelves for more variety and livelier furnishings.

Steel shelves with open sides work well for filing or if a lot of storage space is needed in the office. These are often available with add-on sections, which makes it easy to expand as needed.
 
Wall mounted shelves are both stylish and practical. Hang them over a lower cabinet or over the desk to take advantage of the space.
 
Shelving systems that are mounted on the wall with support strips and hanging rails are space-saving and practical. Place the shelf as you like and move it as needed

Where will the shelf be?

It pays to think twice before purchasing shelves. With the right model, color and placement, the shelves not only become storage furniture, but also increase comfort and ambience. In an archive room, on the other hand, it's propbably more important that the shelves hold as much as possible rather than having a modern design.

In a cramped space, floor space can be saved by building storage in the height instead of the width if the ceiling height allows. If it is not possible to build at height, shelves with extra depth are an alternative. Be sure to carefully measure the height, width and depth to make the best use of the space.
 
In a larger space, it can create a nice atmosphere to section off and create smaller areas in the room. Low shelves work perfectly as room dividers while maintaining some open space between co-workers. If you choose a mobile shelf with wheels, you can easily adapt the furniture according to your needs.

Get smart with your shelving

With the help of various accessories, you can adapt your office shelf so that it is perfect for you. A form insert, drawer insert, extra shelf or wheels can increase functionality depending on what you need. The accessories can be replaced if the work situation changes.

A compact archive shelf is the most space-saving type of shelf and provides plenty of storage in a small area. With the help of a crank, the shelf sections are moved so you can access what you need. Suitable for archives.

Feel free to mix open and hidden storage with shelves in the same series for a uniform impression. If you want more opportunities to hide or lock objects, you can supplement with storage cabinets.
