Space Lift: Small Office

Published February 28, 2019 | Updated March 12, 2025

We love showing finalized NEAT spaces on our Instagram feed, but what we love even more is telling the stories of their newly organized spaces.

Take a look at Mia’s own home office and see what makes it so NEAT!

City : New Hampshire

Organizer : Mia Whalley

Room : Small Home Office

Hours to complete : 4

Objective : To transform an underutilized closet from “drop zone” into a function home office without breaking the bank.

Mia’s favorite feature : Instead of a traditional metal 2-drawer filing unit, we chose a wooden system with multiple drawers. This allows for each drawer to be designated to a specific category, allowing us to simplify this families filing system. Multiple units allows for this busy mama-pranuer to keep her business and personal files organized all in one room. Bonus:: the filing drawers double as the legs to the table which is a huge space saver. The natural light of the room + the white furniture makes this a very inviting space for productive work days at home.

Stand out product : The Alex drawer unit from IKEA comes in multiple styles and color options. All four sides are finished so it looks great from all directions. With under $500 invested into this office, we transformed a chaotic drop zone into an inviting work space!
