Office Storage
Office Storage Cabinets for Organised Workplaces
Well-planned storage keeps files, supplies, equipment and personal items accessible without allowing clutter to take over the workplace. ASTRAA helps plan office storage around what needs to be stored, who needs access and where the furniture fits within the overall workspace.
Organised Workplaces
Store What Matters Without Wasting Floor Space
Storage planning works best when it starts with two questions rather than with furniture: what is actually being stored, and how often does someone need to reach it. Answer those first and the type, size and position of each unit follow from there instead of being decided at the end.
Document Organisation
Files, records and paperwork grouped by how they are used, so the right material sits in the right kind of storage.
Everyday Accessibility
What is reached daily stays within arm’s length of the person using it. What is rarely opened moves further away.
Space Efficiency
Storage that uses walls, corners and height instead of consuming floor area that the workplace needs for people.
Workplace Integration
Cabinets planned as part of the layout and the finishes, not added afterwards wherever there happens to be a gap.
Storage Types
Storage for Different Workplace Requirements
Most offices need more than one kind of storage. The mix is decided by what sits in each area, who uses it and how much wall or floor space that part of the workplace can give up.
Low Storage Cabinets
Compact storage suitable beside workstations, walls and shared office zones.
Tall Storage Cabinets
Vertical storage where greater capacity is needed without using excessive floor area.
Filing Cabinets
Storage intended for organised document and file access.
Pedestal Units
Compact personal storage positioned at or around individual workstations.
Credenzas
Low storage furniture suitable for executive cabins, meeting rooms and shared areas.
Open + Closed Storage
Furniture combining accessible display areas with concealed storage.
Files + Documents
Match Storage to the Way Documents Are Used
Paper behaves differently depending on what it is. A file opened every morning, a signed agreement that has to stay private and a box of records nobody touches for years all belong in different places. Access frequency, the level of privacy required and the space available together decide the approach.
- Frequently accessed files
- Archived documents
- Confidential paperwork
- Shared departmental files
- Stationery
- Manuals
- Project records
Storage is planned around how your organisation works. Decisions about how long records must be kept remain with the organisation and its own advisers.
Personal Storage
Keep Everyday Storage Close to the User
The storage a person uses constantly should be within reach of the chair, not across the floor. Equally, it should not get in the way: pedestals and side units are positioned so legroom, chair movement and the route past the desk stay clear.
- Mobile pedestals
- Fixed pedestals
- Drawers
- Side storage
- Shared storage
- Personal-item storage
Team Storage
Storage for Shared Workplace Resources
Shared storage is used by a lot of people, so where it sits matters as much as what goes in it. Units are placed close to the teams that draw on them and away from the routes people walk most, so collecting a ream of paper does not interrupt the desks next to it.
- Departmental files
- Stationery
- Printing supplies
- Project material
- Shared equipment
- General office supplies
Access Control
Plan Storage Around Who Needs Access
Not everything in an office should be equally easy to reach. Deciding early who needs to open what keeps the right material available and the rest appropriately closed.
Open-Access Storage
Shelving and open units for material the whole team is meant to pick up without asking.
Closed Cabinets
Doors and drawers that keep contents out of sight and the room looking tidy.
Lockable Options
Available where the specification includes them, for material that should not be open to everyone.
Individual Storage
Personal units assigned to one user, typically at or beside the workstation.
Shared Team Storage
Units used across a department, positioned for the group rather than one person.
Restricted-Access Storage
Storage intended for a smaller set of users, planned with the organisation’s own access rules.
Locking and security features depend on the selected specification and are not included on every unit. ASTRAA does not make security guarantees for stored material.
Material Options
Storage That Coordinates with the Rest of the Workplace
Storage runs along the walls of most offices, so its finish is visible constantly. It is selected alongside the workstations, executive furniture, meeting furniture, partitions and the wider interior finishes rather than chosen on its own.
- Laminate finishes
- Wood-look finishes
- Solid colours
- Metal components
- Edge detailing
- Handles
- Hardware
Board grades, thicknesses, component brands and certifications are confirmed against the specification agreed for each project.
Space Efficiency
Use Walls and Underused Areas Intelligently
Storage is one of the few pieces of office furniture that can take back space rather than use it. Blank wall runs, the ends of workstation clusters and the areas beside meeting rooms often absorb storage without costing the floor anything — provided doors, drawers and the routes people walk are considered at the same time.
- Circulation
- Doors
- Workstations
- Meeting areas
- Wall lengths
- Service access
- Future expansion
Custom Requirements
Storage Adapted to the Workplace Requirement
Storage is often the element that has to be adjusted, because it has to fit a particular wall, a particular filing habit and a particular set of users. These are the areas most commonly adapted.
Height
Width
Internal Layout
Finish
Access
Locking Options
Final specification depends on the requirements of the project and on current capability. Not every requirement can be met as a custom build.
Leadership + Meeting Spaces
Storage Beyond the Open Office
Away from the open floor, storage is asked to do something different. It has to hold less, look considerably better and sit quietly within a room that people are received in. Finish, proportion and door detailing matter more here than raw capacity.
- Executive cabins
- Meeting rooms
- Boardrooms
- Reception areas
- Private offices
Storage + Interior
Plan Storage Before the Workspace Is Finished
Storage is usually specified last and then has to fit around everything already built. Bringing it forward avoids the familiar result — a cabinet that blocks a socket, a door that cannot open fully, or a run that stops short of the wall it was meant to fill.
- Wall locations
- Partitions
- Electrical points
- Circulation
- Doors
- Floor finishes
- Workstations

Meeting Rooms
Discreet storage for materials, stationery and equipment kept in the room itself.
Reception Areas
Storage behind and around the front desk for the items reception handles daily.
Back Offices
Higher-capacity storage for records, files and supplies away from client-facing areas.
Shared Support Areas
Print, pantry and utility zones where supplies and equipment need a defined home.

Questions
Office Storage FAQs
What types of office storage cabinets are available?
Low storage cabinets, tall storage cabinets, filing cabinets, pedestal units, credenzas and combinations of open and closed storage. Most offices use a mix, selected according to what each area has to hold.
How do I choose between low and tall storage cabinets?
Low cabinets suit areas where sightlines and a lighter feel matter, and they double as a surface. Tall cabinets give more capacity from the same footprint where volume is the priority. The choice usually comes down to how much has to be stored against how open the space should feel.
Can office storage cabinets be customised?
Height, width, internal layout, finish, access and locking options can generally be adapted to the requirement. The final specification depends on the project and on current capability.
Can locking options be included?
Lockable options can be specified where they are required. Locking is not included on every unit, and the features available depend on the specification selected for that product.
Can storage match workstation and executive furniture finishes?
Yes. Laminate and wood-look finishes, solid colours, metal components, edge detailing and hardware are selected to coordinate with workstations, executive and meeting furniture, partitions and the surrounding interior finishes.
Can storage be planned for shared departments?
Yes. Shared storage for departmental files, stationery, printing supplies, project material and equipment is planned around which teams use it and where it can sit without obstructing circulation.
Can ASTRAA coordinate office storage as part of a complete interior project?
Yes. Storage can be planned within a wider corporate interiors scope, alongside wall locations, partitions, electrical points, doors, floor finishes and the workstation layout.
Do you provide office storage cabinet solutions across Bangalore?
Yes. ASTRAA works with corporate, commercial and office clients across Bangalore and the surrounding areas.
