Having a printer at home or in the office is handy for getting those important documents printed out quickly. However, as helpful as it can be, those that dislike clutter may find simply leaving the printer out takes up too much space. As such, you might like to figure out where to put your printer when you’re not using it.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many different printer storage ideas, and the best solution will depend on the size and style of your printer, as well as the amount of space you have available. If you’re wondering “where should I store my printer?” or “how can I hide my printer at home?”, this is the article for you! Keep reading for some great ideas on where to put your printer when it’s not in use.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dedicated space<\/b><\/h2>\n

One popular idea is to create a dedicated printing station. This can be as simple as setting up a small desk or table specifically for your printer, or a more elaborate solution that includes shelving and dedicated storage spaces. Having a designated area will help keep your printer organised and easy to find when you need it. It can also make printing documents quicker and easier since everything you need will be in the one place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the desk<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you’re short on space, consider hiding your printer under the desk. This is a great option if you have a small printer that can easily fit in the available space. If you don’t want to place the printer on the floor due to pets or children being around, you could also try putting the printer on a low shelf or in a drawer. Just be sure to keep the cords neat, tidy, and out of the way to avoid tripping.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a cabinet<\/b><\/h2>\n

Another printer storage idea is to keep your printer in a cabinet when it’s not in use. This is a great solution if you have a lot of space in your closet and don’t mind running an extra cable to the printer. Simply tuck the printer away in a corner or on a shelf and close the cabinet door. This can be a great option for those who want to hide their printer from view. Make sure you leave enough room for the cables if you have a printer that uses wires.<\/span><\/p>\n

On a shelf<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you don’t want to dedicate an entire piece of furniture to your printer or if you’re short on storage space, consider putting your printer on a shelf. This is a great option if your printer is small enough to fit on shelving. Place it on a floating shelf, or amongst some books on a bookshelf. This can be a particularly useful printer storage solution for those with a wireless printer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Printer cover<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you have a small space and don’t have the room to store your printer, you may instead like to make a cover for it to conceal the machine. This can be as simple as a piece of fabric that you drape over the printer, or a more permanent solution such as a custom-made cover. Get creative with it and make your own using your favourite fabric! A printer cover is a great way to quickly and easily hide your printer when it’s not in use.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many different ways to store your printer, so there’s no need to leave it in plain sight if you don’t want to. Try out a few of these solutions and figure out how you can best store your printer in a way that works for you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
