5 Useful Cable Management Solutions For Your Home

It is, put simply, the bane of our domestic lives: the proliferation of cables that we seem to be unable to do without, and how quickly they can get out of control, whether it's behind the TV, around your desk, or, worst of all, by the bedside. It is, of course, a first world problem, but it’s also true that managing all those wires doesn't just make your space look cleaner – it can also help you stay more productive and stress-free too. If you're tired of tangled cables and endless clutter, here are some useful solutions to help you organise the wires throughout your home.

Cable Management Boxes

If you feel like you're drowning in a sea of cables, chargers, and power strips, cable management boxes can be a lifesaver. The D-Line Cable Tidy Box (£9.99, Amazon) is perfect for stashing away bulky plugs and unsightly tangles, with a modern design that slips into any room.

For cable clip that will hold multiple wires, meanwhile, try Syncwire Cable Clips (£5.24, Amazon).

Cable Clips

Loose wires getting in the way can be a particular pain in spots like the living room or near your nightstand. Enter cable clips! The D-Line Cable Tidy Assorted 2.5 x 2 cm Pack of 6 (£4.79, Viking Direct) can be stuck to your desk, wall, or even behind the TV to keep cables from falling to the floor.



Or, if you're after something that will be totally hidden, try the Quszmd Under Desk Cable Management (£19.80, Amazon), which is super easy to use and doesn’t require any drilling.

Wireless Charging Stations

If the above solutions don’t go far enough in your crusade to banish unsightly cables, then perhaps it’s time to do away with them altogether with wireless charging – cue no more tripping over phone chargers at night or fumbling around trying to plug in your device. The Belkin Boost Charge Wireless Charging Stand (£19.99, Amazon) is a sleek solution that keeps your phone charged while making it easy to use for calls or checking messages. Perfect for your bedroom or living room, it works with both iPhones and Android devices.

Cordless Lamps

If you're hoping to cut down on cables and add greater functionality to your home, cordless lamps are certainly one way to go. They’re fantastic in spaces like living rooms, studies, or even kids' rooms where you want to avoid extra wires and thus a multitude of trips and bumped heads. There are many options, style wise, but we especially like the Lilee Rechargeable Lamp Base (£81, Pooky) for a good pop of colour – all cable free.

Under-Desk Cable Trays

If you have a home office or a #wfh setup or, indeed, you simply want to hide the bulky cables behind your TV, under-desk trays are a great solution. The IKEA Signum Cable Trunking Horizontal (£9, IKEA) is an affordable option that can hold larger cable bundles and is easily mounted under desks or TV stands. For something a bit more robust, the Lavoro Cable Management Tray Systen (£63, Office Furniture) is ideal for handling heavy-duty cables without a fuss.
