For many, working from home allows you to have your own space and work at the best place to suit your needs, as well as allowing the flexibility to really get your creative juices flowing.
Hmm, well that’s not always the reality, is it? You may not necessarily have a whole office to dedicate to work, or maybe you’ve gone from working a day or two at home to moving the whole shebang over to your house without having time to properly organize or prep a functional workspace.
If you’ve recently discovered working from home is now your full-time position, or you are just looking for a slice of inspiration, maybe it’s time to bite the bullet and tackle that workspace!
It might be just what you need to inject a bit of get up and go into your work-from-home lifestyle (don’t worry, you can keep the sweatpants on if you insist).

What, I hear you cry? Those 60s looking monstrosities, why oh why would I want one of these in my beautiful, curated home?
Fear not, below is a list of ten marvelously stylish and beautiful filing cabinets that boast real curb appeal and finally offer you an end to all that paper clutter flying about the house.
We hope you find some inspiration to kick start your love of your home office and get your creative mojo back.
