Organization in the Office – Pretty and Practical Baskets
Just like many of you, I get the urge to organize my home at the beginning of every new year. This year, my first organization step included buying baskets for the shelves in my home office.

Baskets for Organization:
Previously, my shelves were purely decorative yet they weren’t very functional. In fact, I didn’t share too much of this wall when I posted about redecorating my office. Since I wasn’t sure what to do with the shelves, I waited for an idea to hit me. Basically, I knew I wanted them to look pretty but I also needed them to be useful. If you’re like me, you understand how I need a place to hide all the clutter and piles of papers that somehow manage to accumulate.
Considering that my home office has a coastal/tropical vibe, I decided that seagrass baskets would work perfectly.
After a quick shopping trip, I now have a ton of storage!
Not only did I increase storage in my office, but I chose bins that were pretty as well as functional.
These are the Havana Utility Baskets.
Rosie was close by to supervise.
I think she approves!
Once I decide what I need to store the most, I will add some kind of tags or labels to them. Right now I am just using them to sort school work and mail. We all know how even those papers pile up quickly!
Anyway, the seagrass baskets are already helping me feel organized!
If you want a similar look to my baskets , I included some more seagrass and woven basket options below.

Anything to get me organized would be a great start! I wish someone could just come in and take over! My goal is to do better….baskets are a great and functional way to get started! Great post!
The baskets are gorgeous! One of my goals for 2014 is to declutter and be more organized. You've inspired me to get some baskets.
