Smart Ways to Store Cords and Cables for a Clutter-Free Home πβ¨By Elevated Mess | Professional Home Organizing in Los Angeles, CA
Phone chargers, camera cords, laptop cables, and other electronics accessories can easily create clutter if not organized properly. In todayβs tech-filled homes, a tidy solution for cords is essential for both functionality and aesthetics. At Elevated Mess, we help Los Angeles clients organize their tech essentials so everything has a home.
Here are our top tips for storing cords and cables efficiently.
1. Declutter and Sort First π§Ή
Before storing cords, identify what you actually use:
Toss broken or outdated cables
Keep only the cords compatible with your devices
Group similar items together (chargers, HDMI, USB, power cords)
This makes finding the right cord fast and hassle-free.
2. Use Cable Organizers and Pouches π
Invest in small cable organizers or zippered pouches to store cords neatly. Options include:
Velcro or twist-tie straps to bundle cords
Travel pouches for camera and phone accessories
Small boxes or drawers with dividers for at-home storage
Keeping cords contained prevents tangling and damage.
3. Label Your Cables π·οΈ
Label each cord with its device or purpose. Even simple masking tape or small printed labels make a huge difference when searching for a specific cable.
4. Use Drawer or Box Systems ποΈ
Store cords in a dedicated drawer or small box. Consider:
Drawer dividers for different types of cables
Small clear containers for easy visibility
Stackable boxes to maximize vertical space
This keeps your workspace or living area free of clutter.
5. Keep Frequently Used Cords Accessible π
For daily-use cords like phone chargers, store them in an easy-to-reach spot, such as a small container on a desk or nightstand. This prevents digging through multiple boxes for the essentials.
6. Consider Wall or Desk Mounts π₯οΈ
If you have a tech-heavy workspace, wall-mounted cable organizers or clips can keep cords off the desk, untangled, and easy to grab.
7. Create a System That Works for You β¨
The best cord storage system is one that fits your lifestyle. Whether you need a compact solution for small Los Angeles apartments or a full tech organization setup for a home office, Elevated Mess customizes systems that are functional and beautiful.
