Workspace Essentials: 5 Types of Office Supplies and Furniture

It can be a challenge setting up a new office or relocating, but we can help! Office basics such as notebooks, writing instruments, calendars, lighting and desk chairs are often unnoticed, but play key parts in helping employees stay organized.

Here are office supplies and workspace basics that we think every new (or existing) office should have for optimal productivity.

Notebooks

Don’t you hate when you have an amazing idea, but don’t have anywhere to write it down? Having a great notebook is key for staying organized and keeping notes on important to-do’s or take-aways from business meetings.
