Until very recently there was very little demand for office cabinets. Generally speaking, the use of these storage areas was limited to coffee rooms and storage areas. While this particular use of it remains, there has been a major change in office décor that allows for certain personalization. Examples of this are the use of wardrobes in an executive office suite. With so many workers staying late for long hours and needing to change clothes immediately after, office cabinets such as these are proving to be essential pieces of furniture.
Another improvisation in office décor involving cabinetry is the use of low profile pieces for both underneath storage and additional countertop space. The average executive today maintains a portfolio of at least 12 ongoing projects. Each of these usually requires documentation in the form of folders, magazines and books. And each of these projects usually needs its own special corner of the office world to reside in while it awaits consultations. Note that the new modular decorating schemes used in the executive office suites are perfectly suited to collections of cabinetry to either line the walls or to serve as islands in a corner of the office.
