Good Housekeeping's desk-organization ideas include a narrow hutch, upper cabinets, wire baskets and a hook board. Open storage keeps selected items visible, while closed compartments provide somewhere for equipment and supplies that do not need to remain on display.

Let the Wall Carry Some of the Desk's Storage

Choose the format around what must be stored and how often it is used. A headphone hook or note grid can remove small objects from the desktop without creating a large furniture addition. Secure wall-mounted storage appropriately and preserve clear access to the screen, lights and power connections.

Shelves, baskets and hook boards can release space around a computer and keyboard.
