If you don't have an office in your home, where do you store files and other important papers? Where do you keep things like a printer or basic office items (stapler, paper & envelopes, etc.)
We have enough files to fill two cabinets plus all the usual office stuff but we'd to find a way to discreetly put office stuff somewhere else in the house
I'd love to see photos of everyone's set-up if you'd like to share!

My daughter took the closet in her laundry room and made it into a mini office.
Main shelf for laptop and work area, plus shelves above and on the side for files, etc.; printer is on one of the side shelves.
Sorry, don't have a photo.
I think a description of your house would be helpful.
I have no pics, but here are a few suggestions. Have space below/next to a stairway? Do you have a separate laundry room? Room in your garage to add a desk/table/shelves? Any kind of furniture that contains drawers or space for baskets? Any space in your dining area/room?
Share some pics of all the rooms in your house and we can pick our brains for you.
I keep paper and some office supplies in my tv stand, along with small electronics like my cameras and Kindles. Also keep my diabetic testing supplies in there.

Haha, yeah, no stairway space, no laundry room, no garage, and few closets. We just have a small 6 room 1100sqft postwar Cape - most rooms are 10x10 or less. So we'd be trying to sneak some space from either the kitchen, living room, dining room, or bedroom. I was just looking for ideas from other folks who have made one room do double-duty without having the office stuff look too obvious.
Most things I can stick in cabinet drawers etc but I'm especially confounded by files (old tax returns & bills, medical records, etc) and how to house those without having some big ugly file cabinet stick out like a sore thumb in the living room or whatever. Same with the printer - even if wireless, where do you put it?
We used to have a pretty small home but it had a formal dining room area and an area for a kitchen table. We turned the formal dining room into an office with two desks, a chair, and a bookshelf. It was right next to the living room so the kids always had access to us even if we were working, which we liked. Not super quiet, of course.
I live in a 1-bedroom apt & in the space of the front room where others would have a dining table & chairs, I'd rather have an office area...I can eat on a TV table in front of the TV. I have my metal, 2-drawer file cabinet & printer in my bedroom, which is a pretty good-size bredroom, so it's not cramped in there at all. So my sleek, modern glass desk is at the entrance of my apt.
