The latest addition to Taunton's Idea Book Series, Taunton's Home Storage Idea Book, provides a systematic approach to storage design that can help you tackle this big project.

Taunton's Home Storage Idea Book moves through the major areas of the house with specific storage ideas and examples for each room that are both attractive and functional. This excerpt from Chapter 5, Work-Space Storage, features solutions for home offices of all sizes.
