We spend an average of six weeks per year just looking for misplaced information from our desks and files. Save your time by giving yourself-lots of storage and filing space in the home office. Hang a grouping of two or three bulletin boards, as you would wall art to make the wall look as good as it works. Cork can be painted to match the room, or covered in fabric, wallpaper or even gift-wrapped. Cardboard boxes and magazine holders can be painted or covered with wall paper to match the rooms decor and then labeled and stored on book shelves in the room.
Every decorator needs to be as concerned about how the room works as well as how the room looks.
