Back to School Extravaganza

It never fails that this time of year we are left scratching our heads, wondering where the days of summer went and how they slipped by us so quickly.  We hope that this summer has been packed full of adventures for you and your family.

Here at Oak for Less we embrace every season and all that it has to offer. If you have been following our blog this summer, you may have joined us on our exploration of different types of wood and how we integrate them into our inventory.  We love to show you the different possibilities that wood furniture offers.

We may be biased but we truly believe that wood is a dynamic material that can be used for all types of design.  You may envision a traditional rustic aesthetic with wood at the helm, but it can also be placed seamlessly into a modern design with sleek lines.  We incorporate wood into our lives in many ways, and this also includes our work and school life.  Whether you are looking for the perfect place for your kids to do their homework, or are a college student getting ready to hit the books again, Oak for Less has you covered.  The following items are just a few ways to organize and enhance your space to maximize productivity.

When it comes to a home office, the desk usually becomes the priority and the centerpiece of the space.  It is important to keep in mind design style and function when you choose a desk.  You want one that will fit comfortably into the room without swallowing up the space and one that fits into the décor that you already have.  Consider whether you want a more modern piece or an antique or traditional one instead.

Often times, more traditional desks can be bulky and cumbersome.  If you have a smaller space or simply don’t want the desk to be a focal point, writing desks might be a great option for you.  They can still be sturdy and durable without taking up as much square footage.

File Cabinets

The key to a successful home office for working or for studying is organization.  Optimize productivity by managing papers and files in a way that doesn’t impede your living space.  This can be achieved with some of the many options that Oak for Less offers in the way of file cabinets.

Bookcases

Organization doesn’t have to mean hiding all of your hard work.  Sometimes having everything in plain view right at your fingertips is the best way to keep on track.  Bookcases are a wonderful way to organize and display your belonging, and they come in all shapes and sizes.

The end of summer and the beginning of a new school year can be bittersweet.  The days may be getting shorter and the temperatures may be starting to mellow out, but every season brings new opportunities.  This time of year is a great time to return our focus to a good routine of organization, creativity, and productivity.  Start the school year off right with all the tools you need with Oak for Less home and office furniture.
