Reducing Office Clutter with Displays

Reducing Office Clutter with Displays

Practical Ways to Keep Workspaces Organised and Professional

A cluttered office can negatively affect everything from productivity to morale. Even first impressions with visitors will be impacted. Yet in many workplaces, clutter builds up gradually: leaflets scattered on desks, important notices taped haphazardly to walls, and information buried under piles of paperwork.

The good news? Thoughtfully-chosen display solutions can help transform a messy environment into a clean, professional space that works better for everyone.

Here’s a few key ways that using the right display products can help reduce clutter, while improving organisation and communication across your office.


1. Wall-Mounted Poster Holders: Clear, Professional Messaging

Instead of pinning posters directly onto walls or cluttering up noticeboards, wall-mounted poster holders offer a clean, easy-to-update solution. They protect your materials from wear and tear, while also creating a sleek, consistent look. Use them for:

  • Health and safety information
  • Employee notices
  • Company announcements or event posters

Choose a multi-pocket display to group related information together and eliminate the need for multiple sheets of paper pinned in random locations.


2. Leaflet Dispensers: Organised Literature Distribution

Leaflets and brochures are essential for many offices, especially those welcoming clients or visitors. But without a proper storage solution, these materials often end up piled on counters or hidden in drawers.

Wall-mounted or freestanding leaflet dispensers allow you to:

  • Display literature by category (e.g. services, brochures, HR info)
  • Keep reception areas tidy and welcoming
  • Make it easy for staff or guests to find what they need

For high-traffic areas, opt for tiered or rotating dispensers to maximise capacity without taking up too much space.

3. Noticeboards: Tame the Paper Chaos

A single well-placed noticeboard or whiteboard can do the job of ten sheets of paper stuck to various surfaces. Use it as a centralised hub for:

  • Shift schedules
  • Meeting room bookings
  • Internal announcements

Magnetic, felt, and lockable boards are all available depending on your security and aesthetic preferences. Keep the content fresh and curated to prevent it from becoming a dumping ground.


4. Digital Displays: Go Paper-Free and Clutter-Free

For offices aiming to reduce both clutter and paper waste, digital screens provide a future-ready alternative. They're great for use in reception areas and common spaces.

Use them to display:

  • Rotating messages
  • Meeting room schedules
  • Company news
  • Current performance and KPI's
  • Visitor welcome messages

...and more. All without the need for printouts!

Bonus: when used with CMS software, updates can be made remotely, saving time and ensuring accuracy.

An alternative to digital screens is also tablet holders. These are ideal for reception areas. Use them as an alternative to using sign-in books for visitors.


5. Wall Plaques: Streamline Wayfinding and Office Identity

Instead of taping signs to walls or doors, invest in professional wall plaques to label meeting rooms, departments, or team areas.

They can be custom printed directly onto the acrylic panel, and they're available in a huge range of sizes. This makes them also suitable for motivational office signs around your business.

These small touches not only cut down on makeshift signage but also enhance your company’s brand image.

Typically, office business plaques are also suitable for use outside the building as well as on walls and doors indoors. In some cases you might have an indoor room which needs regular sign changes, such as to label it as "occupied", or for hot desking purposes.

In this case, you can also get changeable office door signs which take paper inserts. These are available as a narrow acrylic plaque style sign holder, or a curved aluminium frame with cover.
