Option 1: Use Fabric Inserts
Option 2: Photo Organization Containers
Option 3: Box in Box
Option 4: Under Desk Cord Storage
In one of my most viral DIY hack videos I shared how I organized and tidy up the cords under my desk. With this simple DIY desk organization solution I gathered the cords underneath my desk into a mail file tray.
Option 5: Under Bed Cord Storage
If you hate the cords under your desk, you likely are not a fan of the ones by your bed side.
A simple concept for organizing your items is to corral and group similar items together to reduce visual noise.
I’m using this fundamental organization principle to tidy up the cords under my bed. Using a simple basket that has a opening for a handle I was able to easily contain and tidy my cords.
How to Create DIY Labels
I’m all about organization tips that move you into action.
Here I’m sharing my DIY solution for creating your very own labels for electrical cords.
We tend to overcomplicate organization by creating fiction. It might look like you saying that you must go out and purchase a label maker before you are able to complete a simple cord organizer DIY project.
The truth is you actually have all the necessarily supplies to create your own labels right now and you can check off “cord organization storage” off you to-do list. With a piece of paper, pen and clear tape, you can create labels that help you get the job done without all that friction of buying, setting up and using a label maker.
Watch a quick video on the process of creating your own DIY labels here.
Velcro Fasteners
Even basic rubber bands would work here. I’ve also used old hair ties and zip ties work too. The key is to contain the mess before it gets unmanageable and before you need it.
