Adding HON file cabinets to your home office is important and can be considered a tax deduction in some cases. Your office,HON File Cabinets: Part of Your Home Office and Beyond Articles whether you work from home only part of the time or run an entire business from home, needs to be organized and functional, but you also need to make it look good as well. There are several options that you can choose from depending on what you need to file and your other storage issues.

File cabinets can be simple and narrow or they can be wider. The number of drawers that you choose may depend on a number of factors. If you choose smaller cabinets now, you can always add on. If you buy a single, larger cabinet as an investment, you can use it for storage for other items, however, if you do this, you may lose the ability to deduct its cost from your taxes. One of the guidelines for home office deductions is that it is solely used for your business and nothing else.

In addition to choosing the right size for your cabinet, you need to choose the right color and the right material. Wood cabinets are stylish but the colors that they come in may be limited. Metal cabinets lose some of their style points but have no limit to the colors. And, as metal cabinets start looking rough, you can always repaint them to a whole new color.  No one ever said that something that is functional has to be ugly, after all.

But, what if you don’t have an actual home office but do have a file cabinet. Should you get rid of it? Because there are so many styles, you should consider how you can use yours, even if it is not to hold files. You can use it to hold warranty information for all of the home’s appliances. You can use it to organize small items. You can give it a little bit of paint and style and use it for storage in other rooms. There is nothing to say that you can’t move a small storage cabinet into your bathroom for towels or lotions.

Buying the storage cabinet or file cabinet that you need can be simple or complicated- depending on whether or not you know what you need now and what you might need in the future.  Regardless of what you need, making the choice of HON file cabinets can assure you that you are buying a well made and stylish piece of organizational furniture.
