* In the office: you can place a shelf behind or next to the table, depending on the space you have in the room. Use a light shelf or one with a touch of color to help motivate you. Better not to have the typical dark office bookshelf. Use storage boxes and filing cabinets to maintain order.

* Divide spaces: shelves are also ideal for separating spaces. Delimiting areas of the house, as if it were a partition. To do this, it is better to place a shelf with shelves so that light can pass through.
