Whether you work from home or in an office, an organized work environment is key to being efficient. Proper storage of files, documents and office supplies not only ensures order, but also peace of mind. But how do you choose the right filing cabinet ? In this article, we will introduce you to the most important aspects, as well as some practical and stylish products from our range.
What should you pay attention to when choosing a filing cabinet?
Size
The first step is to assess how much space you have for the cabinet and how many documents you need to store in it. A smaller home office has different needs than a larger corporate workspace. Don't just think about your current documents – consider future expansion as well!
Layout
Drawer cabinets are great for organizing folders and papers, while door or open storage cabinets are more of a multifunctional solution. Choose a layout that fits your daily routine.
Lockability
A lockable design is essential for storing confidential documents. It can also be beneficial for home use if small children or guests visit the room.
Style
A modern, minimalist office or a rustic home study requires a completely different style. In the VASBUTOR range, practicality and design go hand in hand.
