Not gonna lie, my paper shredder used to be the ugliest thing in my office until I started hiding it inside a basket instead of leaving it out on the floor. I found two options that both do the trick, one that's more budget-friendly and one with a different shape if you want something a little more structured, so there's a fit here for pretty much any desk setup. The shredder stays unplugged the entire time it's stored away. I only plug it in and pull it all the way out of the basket when I actually need to shred something, and once it's done and cooled off, it goes right back in. It's such a simple fix, but it completely changes how the room feels: it's less like a cluttered supply closet and more like a space I actually enjoy sitting in. If you've been looking for paper shredder storage ideas or ways to hide ugly office equipment without spending a fortune, this is it. Both baskets are linked here.
