A shredder
A shredder is a must in a minimal home office.
Not only does a shredder ensure confidentiality it also gets rid of clutter and increases a sense of space – crucial to a minimalist look. Shredding old paperwork is a brilliant way to stop hoarding and importantly when you shred papers less waste is sent to landfill There are so many perks to shredding.
An air purifying plant
An air purifying plant is a lovely addition. Home offices are usually pretty small and enclosed spaces and it is important to stop them being stuffy. A little air purifying plant such as a aloe vera or a spider plant, will look sweet, take up little space and keep the air clean.
Freestanding accessories
A free standing keyboard and mouse are also good options in a minimal office. They can be easily packed away leaving a desk clear to work on in other ways. When you only have a little space to work from this can be really helpful.
A desk bureau
Do consider a desk bureau that you can simply fold away at the end of the day to wipe away all traces that you work from home.
