For those of us who work in tight quarters, which certainly includes me, it’s always nice to be able to furnish our small piece of real estate with cubicle accessories or workspace accessories that make our lives a bit more organized and a bit more comfortable. I decided to put together a list of 20 nifty small office organization ideas of items all of which I have previously featured on this website. I think having these 20 in one article will be a great resource if you are looking to organize your small office more efficiently and effectively.
Some of these are specialized cubicle accessories since they are made to attach to a cubicle wall or over a cubicle wall but most of them can be utilized in any small office. They are in no particular order.
Small Office Organization Ideas
1. Post-it Desktop Organizer
The kicker is that it comes with a built-in tape dispenser as well! I really like the fact that in a small footprint I can store small office items that I use on a regular basis and only a few inches from my keyboard.
2. 6amLifeStyle Headphone Hanger
This innovative product identifies a need of the office worker and provides an organized way of storing an office item that you use on a regular basis. It’s not only practical but it’s stylish as well!
3. Sparco Mesh Phone Stand
Many of the products here in this list, especially the shelves allow you to store items on various levels. This article goes into the Sparco Mesh Phone Stand in more detail.
4. Fellowes Cubicle Shelf
This article gives many images of the shelf and shows you how to easily hang it on your wall. Just be aware that the maximum weight that is suggested to keep on it is 5 lbs which is fine because this is a great shelf for pictures of your family, business cards, or vacation souvenirs.
5. Rolodex Off-Desk Shelf
Small office organization ideas are very important in the limited workspace environment. Being able to store at differing levels is a huge advantage to an item like this Rolodex desk shelf. This is just another cubicle accessory that allows me to maximize the space that I have in my office.
6. Officemate Cubicle Wall Business Card Holder
If you’ve perused this site at all, you know that I emphasize using cubicle wall accessories simply because it allows you to expand the real estate of your office and allows you to remove items from your desktop. This cubicle wall business card holder is just a great example of this solution.
7. Safco 2 Way Corner Organizer
8. VerticalMate Hanging Corner Shelf Unit
9. Aspect Monitor Accessory Frame
10. Cell Phone Wall Holder
It is really nice to have it in clear view while it’s on my cubicle wall. As you can see in the image on the left, there is a really convenient slot that I use to plug in my phone for charging.Just another way to get stuff off of your desktop and use your cubicle wall.
11. Fellowes Wire Paper Tray
This article shows images of it in my office cubicle. There really is no assembly other than attaching the trays. You can then load them up with what was once cluttering up your desktop!
12. Officemate Magnetic Dry Erase Board
13. Safco Onyx Mesh Desk Organizer
14. Kensington Flat Panel Monitor Cubicle Hanger
15. Officemate Verticalmate Cork Bar
16. Fellowes Partition Additions Note Rail
The paper magically sticks to the note rail when you insert it. You can insert material up to 1/8″ thick so, in essence, it can handle multiple pieces of paper or other material if that suits your needs.
17. Officemate Cubicle Utility Bowl
I keep small items in this bowl like binder clips and cubicle wall clips. This article will give you some more info on the product and it includes a video as well. If you want a unique office item in your cubicle for really short money, this would be a nice addition.
18. Avery Cubicle Wall Pocket
It’s perfect for project file folders that you need to access quickly. I use mine for my latest project(s) that I am working on. This article will show it in my office cubicle. This is another reasonably-priced small office accessory which will really help you stay organized.
19. Cord Management Ideas
20. Fellowes Letter Tray

Hey Bob, the organizational ideas that you have shared in your blog are amazing. The best thing I saw in that is a “Spar co Mesh Phone Stand” and “Kensington Flat Panel Monitor Cubical Hanger” these both are amazing. I like it. Keep posting.
Hi Alyssa, I actually use the flat panel monitor hanger in my own cubicle as well as the phone stand.
Thanks!
Bob
If you address large work volume organization in small cubicle space with paper docs that are waiting for responses, in the future, please let me know 🙂
Hi Katie,
Thanks for your question. How are you currently handling the paper docs that are awaiting responses? Perhaps you are using letter trays? Would a product like this address your needs?
