How to store wires and chargers conveniently and not in sight?

A shapeless ball of wires from various devices that lives under the desktop, computer people affectionately call cable Cthulhu. Sometimes it grows to such a size that attempts to unravel it are reminiscent of a fight against the undead: you pull out one “tentacle”, and ten more follow it, winking at the red light of the power strip. A smaller glomerulus is often formed somewhere in a box of chargers, USB cables and mini-headphones. So that you do not have to “expel Cthulhu”, you just need to learn how to properly store the wires. More precisely, not right, but convenient.

Modern, neat, technological

Do you know how to determine what the apartment owners laid out for the repair a tidy sum? It's simple - no sticking wires are visible anywhere. They thought about how to hide them at the design stage.

One of the useful features is a USB socket in the drawer of the table. It turns out to be a hidden place for picking up gadgets from a picky look. Convenient, beautiful, functional - and no wires in sight!

So that the wires are not confused, each of them must have its own place.

“Parking” for cables can be organized in several ways:

  • buy special rubber, silicone or plastic holders;
  • use ordinary stationery clips;
  • make cuts in a weighty wooden block and insert cables into them.

This storage option should be chosen for those extension cords, cables and chargers that you use every day.

All unnecessary - out of sight

If the socket in the drawer has not yet wound up, and the soul is drawn to minimalism, there is an alternative solution.

Charger Box

What is missing in your interior is a special box with slots. Inside, you can store the surge protector (extension cord) along with the countless wires that leave it. Plugs will peek out from slots or holes, connectors - in general, all that with which the hidden wiring ends.

Strategic stock

In almost any home there are devices and wires that are used very rarely: spare cables, extension cords, charging from "past" phones, garlands, some obscure wiring that came with the gadget ... But you never know what else! All this good is better to be stored in one place - suddenly a miracle happens and one of this is still useful.

Just for this, in general, the organizers came up with:

  • handbags and briefcases;
  • boxes with sections;
  • hanging cloths with pockets.

Organizers for wires
Craftsmen, of course, are ready to offer a lot of home-made options. Everything goes into business - from shoe boxes and chintz pieces to toilet paper sleeves.

Each wiring or cable that is sent for long-term storage is best signed: after 3-4 years, you are unlikely to immediately remember what it is intended for.

Useful Velcro

If you have a laptop, you probably noticed a Velcro ring on the cable from the battery, with which you can rewind and secure part of a long wire. Why not use such Velcro in other cases?

Velcro for fixing wires

Velcro fasteners and ribbons can be widely used in everyday life:

  • fix folded cables, cords, etc.
  • fasten several wires into a bundle.

This is much more convenient than bandaging a coiled wire with its end.

Velcro Velcro is sold not only in the form of individual clips, but also in the form of a wound tape: it remains to cut a piece of the desired length, use it for its intended purpose, and remove the remaining skein until the next time.

So, if wireless technology has not yet reached your home, there are many ways to make the interior visually “clean”. It is possible and necessary to store chargers and other wires so that they are convenient to use. Reorganization does not take much time and money - try different options to understand which one you like best.
