It can be hard to keep a clean home when there are messes of wires and cables everywhere you look. Whether it’s the bedroom, office, or even the kitchen, managing the clutter of cords can seem like an impossible task. But with some planning and the right strategies, you can easily tame the tangle and create a cleaner, more organized space. In this blog, we’ll walk you through how to organize cables and wires throughout the home.
Our guide to desk minimalism can help if tackling your entire home seems like an overwhelming place to start.
Is Your Nightstand a Cord Nightmare?
We all use our bedside areas as a catch-all area for the electronics we use just before drifting off to sleep. Don’t wake up to a tangled mess that complicates your morning routine and potentially damages those precious charging cables. VELCRO® Brand Cord Keepers with Removable Adhesive can help organize this area just how you like it. After all, don’t we all want a stress-free environment for our rest?
Are Cables Bringing Down your Productivity?
A desk in the home office or work area likely contains the highest concentration of cords in your home. As such, it can easily become a tangled mess, especially when your PC wires and cables find other power cords. A popular way of putting this mess out of sight and mind is by concealing them behind or placing the cables underneath the desk. Using VELCRO® Brand Mountable Cable Sleeves, simply add the computer cables to the sleeve before securing and mounting it.
If you get a new device and need to re-organize, the sleeve removes easily and leaves no trace that it was ever there. For those who are aesthetically motivated, the product comes in two colors so you can coordinate with your space.
Mounting a power strip to your desk with VELCRO® Brand fasteners is an easy way to keep your workspace organized and reduce clutter. Simply attach a strip of adhesive-backed VELCRO® Brand Sticky Back Tape to the back of your power strip and press it firmly onto the underside or side of your desk. This setup not only keeps cords off the floor but also allows easy access for plugging in devices, creating a cleaner, more efficient workspace. Plus, if you need to move the power strip later, this fastening solution makes it simple to adjust or relocate!
Tangled Cables Shouldn’t be the Scariest Thing in Your Basement
Tangled wires and cords are not only an eyesore but also can also be detrimental and dangerous. They make it difficult to find the cables you need quickly and can lead to unnecessary wear and tear. These messes also create tripping hazards, especially in spaces where you often store tools and equipment.
Organizing tool cables, extension cords, and bulky wires is simple with VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® Heavy Duty Ties. Start by coiling each cord or wire neatly and securing them with the ties. Their strength makes them ideal for managing tough cables without the risk of fraying or damaging them. You can hang or stack the cords for easy access, reducing clutter and keeping your tools ready for action.
A Clean Kitchen is a Happy Kitchen
A mess of wires and cords in the kitchen is especially frustrating because they can clutter up valuable counter space. Appliances of all sizes and their cords can turn into a mess, making it difficult to move them when needed. An unorganized kitchen can also be a safety hazard, increasing the risk of accidental spills or electrical issues.
Enter VELCRO® Brand Cord Keepers with Removable Adhesive, which allow you to organize each appliance’s wiring however you’d like. Once you have added all cords into the quick and easy sleeve, simply stick them under or behind. This allows for a clear, workable space for you to create those delicious meals!
With electronics playing such integral roles in our daily lives, it’s important to keep our spaces nice and neat. Luckily, VELCRO® Brand Electronics Organization Products have a solution for every cord and living space. After all, we can use some home de cluttering from time to time.
