Storage solutions that keep work organized without

letting clutter drive the space.

Storage should support the work, not take over the room.

Too little storage creates clutter. Too much storage wastes space. The right storage plan depends on what people actually need to access, protect, share, move, or keep close by. MBI helps clients think through storage before it becomes an afterthought.

01 Your team has less assigned space than before

Hybrid work and shared work points change how storage should be planned. Lockers, mobile pedestals, shared storage, and neighborhood-based storage can help support employees who may not have the same desk every day.

02 Your work areas feel cluttered

Clutter usually means the storage plan does not match the work. We help determine what needs to be stored at the workstation, what can be shared, what should be centralized, and what may no longer need to be stored at all.

03 Your records and supplies need better organization

Healthcare, education, government, legal, finance, and administrative teams often still need filing, supply storage, secure storage, or quick access to physical materials. Our team helps plan storage that supports daily workflow without overcrowding the space.

04 Your private offices need to be right-sized

Private offices often get overfilled with desks, credenzas, files, bookcases, and personal storage. The goal is to determine what storage is truly needed so the room stays functional and comfortable.

05 Your storage needs to support security

Some items need to lock. Others need to be shared. Some need to be visible and easy to access. We work with clients to evaluate storage based on security, access, user needs, and how the space is managed.

06 Your organization needs storage standards

Storage standards can make future planning, pricing, ordering, replacement, and reconfiguration easier. MBI can help define what storage belongs at the individual, team, department, and organization-wide level.

Different shared spaces need different furniture strategies.

Storage is not one category with one answer. A locker, lateral file, bookcase, pedestal, tower, credenza, cabinet, and mobile cart all solve different problems. MBI helps clients compare storage options based on the people, materials, workflow, space constraints, and future changes involved.

01

Personal Storage & Lockers

Give people a place for belongings when desks are shared or space is limited.

As workplaces become more flexible, personal storage becomes more important. Employees, visitors, hybrid workers, and mobile team members still need a secure place for bags, coats, devices, supplies, and personal items. We help plan lockers, cubbies, towers, and other personal storage solutions that support the way people move through the workplace. These products can help reduce clutter, support shared workstations, and make hybrid spaces easier to use.

02

Filing & Records Storage

Keep important information accessible without overbuilding the office around paper.

Many organizations have reduced paper, but filing still matters in settings where records, forms, contracts, client files, medical support documents, education materials, or administrative paperwork need to be stored and accessed. The key is planning the right amount of filing in the right location. Our team helps evaluate lateral files, vertical files, storage cabinets, file banks, locking storage, and department-level filing so records stay organized without taking over the floorplate.

03

Workstation & Team Storage

Support daily work without cluttering individual stations.

Workstation storage should match how people actually work. Some users need personal pedestals. Others need shared team storage, lockers, towers, overheads, or nearby supply cabinets. The wrong storage approach can make workstations feel crowded or leave teams without what they need. Our team helps decide what belongs at the individual station, what belongs nearby, and what should be centralized for the team. This is especially useful for open offices, administrative teams, call centers, hybrid work areas, and departments with shared materials.
 

04

Private Office Storage

Keep private offices functional without overfilling the room.

Private offices often carry too many storage expectations. They may need to support files, supplies, books, samples, technology, personal items, meeting materials, and display needs. Without a plan, storage can crowd the room and make the office less usable.

We work with clients to evaluate credenzas, bookcases, pedestals, storage towers, wardrobes, wall storage, and filing so the private office supports the user without becoming a storage closet.

05

Shared Storage, Cabinets & Supply Areas

Make shared resources easier to find, use, and maintain.

Many teams need storage that serves a group rather than one person. Supply areas, project storage, department cabinets, shared files, workroom storage, sample storage, and equipment storage all need to be easy to access and easy to manage.

MBI helps clients plan shared storage that supports workflow, reduces clutter, and keeps frequently used items where they make sense.

06

Mobile Storage & Carts

Add storage that can move with the work.

Some storage needs are temporary, mobile, or tied to a specific task. Mobile pedestals, carts, work carts, rolling storage, and movable supply units can support training rooms, healthcare support spaces, education settings, project teams, mail areas, and multipurpose environments.

We help evaluate where mobile storage makes sense and how it should support the people using the space.

07

Storage as Space Division

Use storage to organize the room and define the space.

Storage can do more than hold things. In open environments, storage can help shape neighborhoods, provide boundaries, support privacy, create transitions, and make large spaces feel more organized.

Our team helps evaluate storage that supports both function and layout, including lockers, shelving, cabinets, towers, credenzas, mobile storage, and storage-integrated workstation elements.

The right storage solution depends on access, security, space, and long-term use.

MBI works with manufacturer partners that support a wide range of storage and filing needs, from personal lockers and mobile pedestals to lateral files, credenzas, bookcases, towers, cabinets, and shared storage systems. The goal is not to fill the space with storage. The goal is to provide the right storage in the right places.

How do we know how much storage our office needs?
Start by identifying what actually needs to be stored, who needs access to it, how often it is used, and whether it needs to be secured. The goal is to right-size storage so the space supports the work without being crowded by unnecessary files, cabinets, or furniture.
Sometimes, yes. Many organizations still need physical records, forms, contracts, project documents, supplies, samples, or department materials. The goal is not to eliminate filing automatically. The goal is to plan the right amount of filing in the right locations.
Personal storage supports individual belongings, bags, coats, supplies, devices, or personal work materials. Shared storage supports team supplies, records, department materials, project items, or common resources. Most workplaces need a mix of both.
Yes. Lockers can be helpful when people do not have assigned desks every day. They give employees, visitors, or mobile workers a secure place for personal belongings and work tools while supporting a cleaner shared workstation environment.
Yes. Storage can help create boundaries, organize team neighborhoods, add privacy, separate zones, and make open areas feel more intentional. Storage does not always need to sit against a wall.
Yes. MBI can help evaluate existing storage to determine what can be reused, reconfigured, relocated, stored, refinished, or replaced. This is especially useful during office moves, reconfigurations, renovations, and budget-sensitive projects.
That depends on the user and the room. Private offices may need credenzas, bookcases, lateral files, pedestals, wardrobes, towers, or wall storage. We determine what should be in the room and what can be stored elsewhere.
Often, yes. Storage standards can simplify future planning, pricing, ordering, installation, replacement, and reconfiguration. A good standard can still allow for role-based or department-based differences.
Yes. Mobile pedestals, carts, rolling cabinets, and movable storage can support flexible work areas, training rooms, healthcare support spaces, education environments, project teams, and multipurpose rooms.
Start with what feels disorganized today. Tell MBI what is being stored, where clutter is showing up, who needs access, and what needs to be secure. From there, we can help identify the right storage and filing strategy.
