This post is in partnership with Christmas Tree Shops andThat! As always, all opinions are my own.
As someone who works from home, I spend a lot of time in my home office. Not only do I want it to be a space that I love, but I can also tell a big difference in productivity when my work space is neat and organized. My home office is a little unique – it doubles as a closet, and my round desk isn’t a “traditional” office desk. I love that it’s different, but it’s definitely a challenge when it comes to organization. I wanted to add a few simple updates to help make the office more functional, and I love how it turned out! I found everything that I needed at Christmas Tree Shops, which is always my go-to for affordable home finds, seasonal decor, and all things organization. You can grab a $10 off $50 coupon here!
With a round desk or table I like to stick with circular items for decor, and I found some great items at Christmas Tree Shops! I started with this round basket which not only looks nice, but it also serves as a catch-all for any small items I happen to have floating around my desk. Clutter is inevitable, and this helps to keep my work space nice and tidy so I can stay focused. I also added a rotating supply holder which is perfect for anything I need to keep within reaching distance such as pens, pencils, highlighters or scissors.
I have a small dresser in my home office which is where a majority of my office essentials are stored. I found some great affordable items at Christmas Tree Shops that have really helped to keep things organized, both on top of the dresser and in the drawers. I couldn’t resist adding a couple decorative pieces and I absolutely love the faux eucalyptus stems – they even came with the glass vase and strand of wooden beads! CTS had several artificial plant options to choose from, which I think add the perfect touch to any room in your home. I especially love swapping out florals for greenery during the Fall to create more of a cozy feel. I also added a diffuser and it makes the room smell amazing – if you are a scent person like I am, Christmas Tree Shops is the best place to buy affordable candles and diffusers! I always stock up on their seasonal scents in the Fall and Winter.
As someone who always has papers floating around, I was so excited to find some rose gold file holders that I can keep out on the dresser for quick access to papers or notes. I grabbed a couple since they are stackable, and I love how they look sitting out! I also purchased the matching pen/pencil holder for extra utensil storage. The note pads are also from Christmas Tree Shops and I find myself grabbing for them constantly.
I’ll admit that my dresser drawers were a little bit (ok, a lot) of a mess before, which drove me crazy when I could never find anything. I added some clear storage containers which have made the biggest difference in keeping the drawers organized, and Christmas Tree Shops had all kinds of shapes and sizes to choose from. I especially love the containers with a grip bottom because it keeps things from sliding around. Also how cool is this multi-function office tool? It’s a stapler, tape dispenser, and paper clip holder in one. Another CTS find I didn’t know I needed, but am so glad to have found!
Floating shelves are great for decor and for storage, and I like to use them for both 🙂 Christmas Tree Shops has the best selection of affordable items, and I found some great pieces to display in my office. The mini globe adds such a sophisticated touch, and it came in all kinds of fun colors! I also grabbed a couple paper weights that look nice on the shelf when not in use, and some mini decorative boxes for small item storage. I added a block calendar to the shelf across my desk so I can easily check the date, and I love how it looks! Great gift idea for coworkers, by the way. Lastly I picked up a few notebooks which are always an office must – I had a hard time choosing because there were TONS of options, but luckily with the prices at CTS I was able to get multiple for what one would have cost at another store.
When it comes to an office refresh, you don’t have to spend a fortune to make a big difference in the space! A few small updates can go a long way, and it’s always a great feeling to enjoy your work area. No matter what home project you have on the to-do list, Christmas Tree Shops has everything you need to get the job done at the best prices! From organization to decor and everything in between, there is always an amazing selection of unique items for every season and every reason.
