"Home" Office

“Home” office. Every home needs a place to do paperwork that pertains to the home. “Home” work includes paying bills, signing permission slips, reading mail, writing correspondence and filing important paperwork. Having a dedicated room for your “home” office would be ideal, but here are some suggestions for creating a consistent area to handle paperwork:

Use a lap desk and store a filing cabinet in the living room. Cover the filing cabinet with a pretty cloth when not using and it doubles as an end table.
Use the kitchen table and store office supplies and a portable file box in a kitchen cabinet.
Make an office in a closet.
Attach a work surface to a wall with hinges. Flip it up when using and flip it down for storing in between work sessions.
Put up a folding screen in a corner of the family room and hide the desk and filing cabinet behind the decorative screen.
