Storing files isn’t the most glamorous job a piece of office furniture can do, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for something bland. While on the lookout for the perfect gray file cabinet for your home office, consider the following factors to choose one with both style and functionality.

Hone in on Hue

You’re likely on the hunt for gray because it blends with your current office furniture. But as you’ve probably noticed by now, there’s a wide range of hues to choose from. You can go light and airy, dark and moody or somewhere in between with a neutral gray filing cabinet. From near white to saturated charcoal, think about which shade fits the look you’re going for. Also consider how that hue will look on the certain materials. A gray wood file cabinet will have a softer feel than a metal one, but may not have the functionality you need. Weigh your options accordingly.

Focus on Features

While the shade of gray you go with is important, you’ll also want to pay attention to any features that may be essential to the types of files you plan to store. Ensure your new gray file cabinet lives up to expectations by considering the following features:

  • Lateral vs Vertical: Are you storing files laterally or vertically? Some filing cabinets allow you to switch back and forth, but others are a set size that only fit specific size documents, so pay special attention to orientation and dimensions.
  • Locking: Have confidential files that need to be secured at all times? Make sure you find a gray filing cabinet that locks. Don’t forget where you put the key!
  • Wheels: If you want the ease of moving your files around the room (or sliding the whole unit out from under a table), consider a mobile filing cabinet. Some have the option of locking the wheels so it doesn’t roll around unexpectedly.
