Office Storage – Cupboards, Filing Cabinets, Lockers & Pedestals
Plan office storage around what people actually need to store, who needs access to it and where it needs to be positioned.
Our complete workplace storage range includes office cupboards, bookcases, filing cabinets, pedestals, drawers, lockers, shelving and coordinated steel and wood-effect storage systems.
Rather than simply filling available walls with cabinets, start by separating storage into three broad requirements: personal workstation storage, shared office storage and personal storage for flexible or hot-desking workplaces.
How Do You Plan Office Storage?
Start with the contents.
Identify what the office actually needs to store, including:
- Personal belongings
- Stationery
- Paper documents
- Filing
- Laptops and equipment
- Reference materials
- Samples
- Shared supplies
- Archive material
Then establish who needs access and how frequently.
This makes it easier to decide whether the appropriate solution is a pedestal, filing cabinet, cupboard, bookcase, locker or shelving.
Personal or Shared Office Storage?
A useful first distinction is whether storage belongs to an individual user or needs to be shared across a team.
Personal workstation storage is positioned at or close to the desk and provides convenient access to everyday items.
Shared office storage is positioned elsewhere in the room...
