I’ve talked about cleaning and decluttering my home office and taking some steps to have it better reflect my personal tastes! Thought you might want to know what I’ve done so far, so here’s my Home Office Update!
Home Office Update
Decluttering
Over Christmas time, I decided to declutter a large bookshelf I have in the corner of my large home office and fill it with pretty things!
Here’s the Before
Here’s the After
I filled 3 trash bags and donated some items in our “Buy Nothing” Group! It feels so good to look at the clean, pretty squares facing the home gym part of my office.
My goal is to buy these organizers to match my office color scheme and fill some of the squares for a pop of color!
That is an inexpensive way to add color to a large white bookshelf!
You can find them HERE.
Decor
I received a few decor items through partnerships as an Amazon Influencer! Here are my faves:
Love the bronze and wooden accents and that the light bulb changes colors! What do you think?
Lamp
You can find the Shalomlite Lamp HERE.
Small Floating Shelves
I wanted small shelves that would hold plants, decor and some books right above my reading nook!
I love the result! What do you think?
I got the shelves through the Amazon Influencer Program!
You can find these cute and inexpensive floating shelves HERE.
Here’s the final result:
I also added some easy to care-for indoor plants. You can read more about it HERE.
Here are some steps and items I would like to add:
I’m still going through boxes and decluttering, so doing one box a week is a doable goal for me!
I’m also looking for a large blue rug to go under my standing desk, to hide the wires a bit and make my feet more comfortable in the summer, when I’m often barefoot!
I bought this desk two years ago when my chiro said I needed to split my work time between sitting and standing, so now with having the Osteopenia diagnosis and needing to be more systematic about working out, I want to take care of that area as well!
You can checkout my standing desk HERE.
I eventually want to remove some furniture and a large file cabinet, but it will take a while to get to the point where I find a place to house those items!
Also planning to add some decor items like pillows and throws in the Spring!
I’m just happy to be moving forward towards an office I look at, and I feel good in!

I need help with cleaning and decluttering my home office! So when can I have you come and do it, lol? But really, I need a refresh like yesterday.
We have a similar shelving unit and recently decluttered. It looks so much better with less on each shelf.
Wow, filling up 3 trash bags is really good going!!! There must have been a lot of clutter. I would love to add in some plants to my office. It can help make it look far more inviting and help to calm the mind.
Updating a home office is a great idea every so often. It’s nice to have a change for starters and it is also good to reduce unnecessary clutter. Floating shelves are a great addition to allow for extra storage space and to give a more aesthetic appeal.
I think it’s so important to have a quiet, well-balanced work area where you feel happy to be. We spend a lot of time in front of the desk.
Emptying out the bookcase has made such a difference, I bet it feels so much calmer in there. I have a standing desk too but need to make more use out of in standing mode x
I love the floating shelves. They add a lot of attractiveness to the space in my opinion.
Your office looks great – the decluttering makes so much difference! The back end of my living room really needs to be tidied. I might even start today!
Oh, I love this so much. I really need to organize my home office it’s been a while since I have decluttered it. Your office looks so cozy!
That is the coziest home office ever! Now I’m inspired to give my office a makeover. I love what you did.
I loooove these small touches that you did to the home office, it made the space so cozy, i love it.
Your home office looks so good now! Decluttering is therapeutic. I love to clean and organize, then buy a few new things to create a renewed environment.
