Optimizing My Workspace with Martha Stewart Home Office Collection

As I head into the busiest season of the year both personally (hello, holiday cards & school events & dance recitals!) and professionally (gift guides & partnerships & newsletters, oh my!), a reset was in order. And as a strong believer in the power of an organized space to calm a chaotic mind, I jumped at the opportunity to partner with Martha Stewart Home Office Collection to upgrade my desk situation. Super easy to order via Amazon (all my picks arrived within days) and simple to assemble, walking into my office feels WAY better now than it did a few weeks ago. You can check out the new space in action in this video I shared on Instagram.

The Perfect Home Office Desk & Chair

The home office overhaul started with picking the perfect desk and chair- and yes, these cornerstones of the space must be aesthetically pleasing, but comfort is of utmost importance here. I often spend an entire day writing at my desk, and to get in the zone, I have to feel comfy from the minute I sit down. This swivel chair is padded perfection (I especially love the leather-wrapped armrests, such a nice detail) , and this desk was a no-brainer. Drawers and polished brass hardware? Sign me up.

Oh, and while by day my desk is mine all mine, by night, it moonlights as a homework station for my kids. So the fact that the chair is easy to adjust for different heights, and the proportions of the desk work for kids and adults alike, is very important in my world.

The Best Home Office Organizers

I think anyone who works from home may agree that working where you live has many advantages, but one drawback is how everything sort of blends together- so my office desk also serves as the hub of our family command center. The versatility of the organizing essentials is huge for this reason- they work seamlessly both to corral my family day-to-day clutter and keep my work notes and files easily accessible. Specifically, the modern and minimalist file organizer and multi-compartment pen/pencil organizer.

Shout out to these acrylic drawer organizers with gold trim- I am not lying when I tell you I will now be using them exclusively in every drawer in the house. The size options are spot on for everything from office supplies to skincare products to art supplies. They can be stacked, too- and nest into each other so as not to take up much extra space when using them as vertical organizers. Plus, the gold trim adds just the right amount of “extra”- I love admiring them every time I go to grab a pencil, my eye cream or a fistful of beads for a bracelet-making break with the girls.

Home Office Holiday Gift Ideas

Because these items are quite stylish, I very much endorse them for holiday gifting! My tween daughter and her friends are swooning over the gold desk accessories, and my 8 year old is begging me to get her a set of these gold trim acrylic organizing trays to sort her beloved doll clothes, shoes and pretend play props.

This acrylic dry erase wall calendar is a stand-out for gifting, too- it plays well with every home decor style, and makes every family command center Pinterest-worthy in an instant.

For white elephant party gifts, teacher gifts or gifts for coworkers, there are many stylish options under $30, too. This gold mesh desktop organizer is a personal favorite.
