If you have cords dangling from lamps or other devices atop a desk or table, get them out of sight by affixing them to the backs of the furniture’s legs. To pull this off, Karen Sloan, the blogger behind interior design site Decor Hint, recommends using Command light clips (which are typically meant for hanging string lights). Attach several of the sticky-backed clips along the legs, then string the electrical cord through. You can often find the clips at major retailers, such as Amazon, Target and Home Depot, for less than $1 apiece.
Phone and laptop chargers — which easily slide off desks and nightstands when not in use — are another irritation. Professional organizer Kate Pawlowski, co-founder of Done & Done Home in Montclair, N.J., recommends adhesive cord holders that — similar to the Command clips — stick to furniture surfaces. You just string the chargers through, so they’ll stay in place.
If your tangle of cords is too bulky to be reined in by clips, you can try installing a wire rack designed specifically to hide power strips or many cords at once under the surface of your desk. Ashlynne Eaton, a digital content creator and DIY-er, says she chose one that had to be screwed into place because it’s extra sturdy. But other options don’t require any drilling and instead get secured with clamps.
