The junk drawer epidemic is a widespread. We feel your pain. For the compulsive and careless alike, there is a surplus of solutions when it comes to keeping drawer neatness.
Preliminary factors for drawer selection
When selecting your weapon of choice for battling hodgepodge, measure the depth, width and height of your drawer and compare it to the organizer options. Some are tailored to fit in deep or narrow drawers or in drawers that are extra wide or narrow.
The organizer should fit snugly so it doesn’t slide around when the drawer opens and closes. Of course, considering a drawer organizer comes with choosing sections that vary in size and shape, so think about the size of the items going into it before choosing one.
Popular Materials
Silver Mesh
Silver mesh bins are on the larger side. As you accumulate mess from the careless tossing of miscellany, and these durable metal receptacles are willing gluttons for punishment. Compartments are sold individually, so you can customize as your demand increases.
Bamboo
With the added benefit of being a sustainable material, bamboo has a bold color striation to its grain, and is nice enough to be displayed pretty much anywhere. These crafted modular boxes are big enough to handle a commercial tape measure, yet small enough to bring order to the typical paper clips, post-its, and other random office supplies.
Acrylic
The clear acrylic construction has a unique sleek style of its own. Being another example of a modular set, it gives you the option of situating the separate compartments according to your needs, which could be helpful in the likely event that an oddball object won’t fit.
Viola
The Viola takes a “toss-it-all-in” approach. It does not have dividers, but this is one of the few products adds a little bit of color into otherwise lifeless drawers. These containers are bigger and deeper than the rest.
Selecting drawer organizers can be a fun process. Even though these are a minor detail in the office space, it does help with keeping things neat and readily accessible. Creating an intelligent interior is just as much about the little things as the “bigger picture” like seating systems and office landscapes. We’d love to help you with both!
