The MUJI x West Elm Collab Is Full of Little Things That’ll Make WFH Much Easier, Starting at $7
If you’re looking for design-forward organization items to add to your workspace, you’re in luck. West Elm just launched a partnership with MUJI that highlights the Japanese retailer’s modern home goods and accessories, all of which can help improve your WFH life for the winter ahead.
The curated selection features nearly 100 organizational and cleaning essentials, most with an average price point of $20. The collaboration makes a lot of sense: MUJI is best known for its stock of functional, quality goods and signature minimalist design, which can be woven seamlessly into West Elm’s aesthetic. And with many people working from home more, these items could give your office space the refresh it needs.
Here are nine standout items from the new collection that we’re adding to our cart ASAP:
