    25 Under-Desk Storage Ideas For Anyone Running Out Of Workspace

    Name something worse than a cluttered workspace. I'll wait.

    1. A charging station dock and organizer to keep your tech gadgets nicely organized and displayed as they charge.

    Promising review: "It is so simple. It required no setup and the magnets that hold the bottom compartment on are strong. I literally did zero work for this product to help me out so much in my everyday life. It clears up my desk clutter and charges my electronics. Plus, it looks and feels quality for the price without paying a huge amount for such a simple concept. I use an iPad air, an iPhone 6s, and an iPhone 7. Because I work from home, my work and personal electronic have to mix but stay organized. This holds them all. I don't have a problem with it not holding phones or anything like others have mentioned." —Rachel R

    Get it from Amazon for $48.95+ (available in two finishes and three styles).

    2. A set of clear, stackable trays to finally create some order in the absolute chaos that is your desk drawer. You'll never waste your precious time digging through drawers in search of Wite-Out again!

    In the six-piece set you'll get two 3"x3" bins, two 6"x3" bins, and two 9"x3" bins.

    Promising review: "I loved these so much, I ended up purchasing another set. They're great to help keep my makeup drawer super organized and clean as well as my desk area. I find that working from home, by the end of the day my desk is a mess, so these little containers really help keep small items together and keep my desk looking sooo much better. They seem pretty durable, and hope they last a long time." —Evelin N.P

    Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $13.49.

    3. A portable and adjustable printer stand complete with a cable management holder and a storage drawer so you can finally move that bulky printer off the top of your desk and replace it with cute office decor.

    4. A practical five-drawer storage cabinet to scoot under your desk and add a touch of ~modern chic~ vibes to your office ensemble.

    5. A portable three-drawer file cabinet with a lock so you can feel confident your secret stash of Tate's cookies (or whatever "normal" people put in filing cabinets...) is safe and sound.

    6. A small storage shelf you can effortlessly stick on the underside of your desk for ~instant decluttering opportunities~ because organizing really shouldn't be that stressful.

    7. A durable set of four plastic drawers to wheel under your desktop and store, well, just about any office knick-knack in!

    8. An ingenious vertical hanging storage unit you can slip over the edge of your desktop to tuck away papers, notebooks, pens, or whatever else has been taking up extra desk space.

    9. A foldable fireproof file storage box to keep your "hottest" documents *extra* safe (and out of the way).

    10. A small pencil drawer/organizer with four compartments cleverly designed to clamp onto the edge of your desk and swivel underneath when not in use.

    11. A set of large and small drawers you can easily attach under your desk. The smaller one is great for pens, paperclips, and other tiny odds and ends, while the larger one can fit your devices, notebooks, and anything else that contains the projects you feel like procrastinating.

    Promising review: "This is a great product and it's lightweight. It's is easy to install; just sticks under the table, slides, and works well. It's ideal for keeping pen, pencils, and pads under my desk." –Linda Manglitz

    Get the set from Amazon for $25.99 (clip the coupon on the product page to save 5%). 

    12. A handy and attachable under-desk hook that can hold your headphones, bag, jacket, or any other item that's too big for a drawer and not meant for the floor. Sorry, organization makes me all sappy and poetic.

    Promising review: "This is a great simple design for hanging my backpack under my desk. Very sturdy. I think any weight restrictions would depend on the rigidity of the desk, as this is good quality metal." –J Schaafsma

    Get it from Amazon for $25.

    13. A three-tier rolling organizer giving off major back-to-school vibes but instead of art and crafts goodies, this can house paperwork, devices, office supplies, and other things that are part of your non-scholastic adult life.

    Promising review: "It took longer to find a utility cart that was short enough to fit under my desk than it took to assemble it. 😂 It’s well-made, comes with instructions, is fast and easy to assemble (took me 15 minutes), it’s strong, and seems like great quality. The feet have little rubber pads to protect your floor in case you don’t want to use the wheels. The wheels do not lock, if that’s something you need. They spin easily on their casters, allowing the cart to glide across rugs without any trouble. Thick/shag carpet might slow it down a little. The baskets are big enough to hold full-sized spiral notebooks and strong enough for multiple reams of paper. Fingerprints show up easily on the black version, so if that’s something that will bother you I’d suggest getting a lighter color. It’s easy to clean them off, though. Just use a soft cloth with a mild all-purpose cleaner. Worth every penny!" –Houseplants & Yoga Pants

    Get it from Amazon for $43.99+ (available in four colors).

    14. A sleek filing cabinet to give your WFH space more of an in-office feel, all without having to brave your way through a tedious morning commute. The distance from your bed to your desk is (presumably) a lot shorter.

    Promising review: "I am very happy with the file cabinet. It arrived in good shape and fits perfectly under my desk. In fact, I liked is so much, I ordered another one for my daughter. Looks great, too. I am also impressed by its sturdiness. Really a good buy." –Dorothy

    Get it from Amazon for $259.99+ (available in three colors). 

    15. A hanging organizer that'll sit mostly below your desk, freeing up major space! It's made of powder-coated steel to ensure it won't scratch your desk surface, and has a tightening screw to stay in-place.

    16. A printer stand that'll fit neatly under your desk and finally give you a place to store printer paper. It always seems like you run out at the most inopportune time, so having a stack on-hand will help solve future printing problems.

    17. A three-drawer file cabinet to hold overflow paperwork and file folders. It's an ideal place for important paperwork since the three drawers lock (keys included).

    18. A sturdy under-desk keyboard tray reviewers love for its height adjustability — unlike many other keyboard trays, you can set its height to be at the most ergonomically comfortably position for typing, which helps relieve stress on your wrists and shoulders. *Plus* the tray can be slid back under your desk when not in use, providing handy out-of-sight storage for your keyboard and mouse.

    Promising reviews: "My wrist was starting to bother me working from home these last seven months. This did the trick and no more pain! Way cheaper than the doctors bill and I’m comfortable now for however long I need to WFH. Plus, it freed up space on the desk for my notebook and sticky notes. Happy I discovered this and recommend." —Aimee Bryant

    "I wish I'd found this one first. The best part is the adjustable height. The first one I bought was so tight to the bottom of the desk that my keyboard didn't fit. With this one, there's no issue and it's sturdy. Highly recommend!" —Adam O.

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in five colors).

    19. A custom laptop holder so you can stash your MacBook underneath your desk — helpful for freeing up space above when you're not working for personal projects and other activities! That said, you can *also* work with your MacBook stored below by putting it in closed-display mode and just using your monitor, helping keep your desk feel less cluttered.

    Promising review: "Exactly what I needed to store my iPad under my desk. I didn't want to use the screws so I just stuck some command strips on it and it works great!" —Erika O.

    Get it from Trella 3D Prints on Etsy for $24.99 (available in three colors and seven sizes).

    20. A small, simple drawer perfect for a small desk where every *inch* of space is at a premium — this sticks underneath your desk with adhesive, giving you a hidden lil' compartment for stashing pens, stickers, and other small office supplies.

    It comes with 3M adhesive stickers, so you won't need any hardware to install it, and you can remove or reposition it whenever you want! You could even pick up two or three, depending on how many drawers you want to add.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    21. An under-desk printer cart on wheels so you can lug that bulky printer off your desk and place it underneath — close by, but out of the way. Plus, it comes with a handy bit of extra storage in the form of three compartments, so you can store your printer paper and other knickknacks that don't need to sit out on top of your desk.

    If you *do* want to use this on top of your desk (and utilize the extra storage shelves), the wheels come off so it can sit directly on your desktop.

    Promising review: "This is an awesome little stand that holds all my office supplies safely and organized under my desk to allow more desk space for working. Really good find and value." —Kayla F.

    Get it from Amazon for $38.51.

    22. And a genius cord box to hide your power strip while offering a way to store excess cable and thread each one through individual slots at the top so they don't become a tangle mess on your desk or floor. This can work in tandem with the charging station above (it's from the same brand) or on its own if you're tired of your power strip being an eyesore.

    Promising review: "The cords on my desk at work were such a disaster that I bought this for myself and I am so glad I did. It totally cleared up the rat's nest of cords and my desk looks so much better." —Aryn Kay

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

    23. A set of four adhesive clear drawers to attach under your desk to keep things in sight but out of mind... and out of your way.

    24. A mesh tray to hold all your cables, cords, and the other stuff cluttering up your desk. It hands on your desk so you can easily access everything when you need to.

    25. A clamp-on organizer that'll keep everything handy but not in the way. No more knocking pens off your desk every time you move your mouse.
