How to hide cables in the home? tidying up the lines

Taking control of the clutter of household cables is no small challenge. The large number of electronic devices means that in every interior we may come across visible, disorganised cables that disrupt its aesthetics, collect dust and may pose a danger to both household members and pets. How can we hide cables to tidy up the space? Here are a few ideas.

It is best to consider the issue of problematic cables while still in the interior design stage. If we determine the location of electronic equipment early on, it will be easier to keep cables under control. The proximity of power sockets means they don't have to run all over the wall or floor. However, we are not always able to predict where devices will be located, and over time they only increase in number. So it's worth using tried-and-tested ways to tidy up your cables.

A well-organised desk - how to hide cables and chargers?

When working remotely or studying at home, our attention can be distracted from important matters by tangled cables and cords - and there can be a lot of them. There is no shortage of equipment to plug in - from laptops, monitors and smartphones to desk lamps and printers.

Clever desks such as Simple and Nature can help. Both models have a specially designed recess in the back of the top to accommodate a power strip. We can connect all the necessary plugs to it and lead the wires out through a conduit opening. Thanks to a concealing grille, the cables are not only kept tidy, but also protected from dust.

The Creative desk has a similar functionality and you can decide on its appearance yourself. You can also freely adjust the space underneath the desk to suit your needs, choosing between open recesses or drawers. A good way to organise cables and chargers is with low organisers. They are convenient for sorting small accessories and hiding them inside the furniture, only to be pulled out when needed. If you opt for lockable containers such as Nevi, it's a good idea to label them so that everyone in the house can quickly find what they're looking for.

Safety first: how to hide cables on the floor

Power cables stretching across entire rooms are the bane of many homes and flats. How to deal with them? Estilo skirting boards will be a useful solution, which not only aesthetically finish the panels or parquet, but also help to run the cables. All thanks to a special chamber, into which we can put running wires, and then hide them by putting on a dedicated masking plate. This will pay off in terms of both tidier space and greater safety. Hidden cables on the floor will be particularly appreciated by parents and pet owners.

How do you hide wires on the walls? Cleverly!

Often troublesome cables also run on the walls. How do we hide such cables without forging? We can conceal them with furniture. A tall unit created from Creative's shelving units will hide everything from unevenness to cables on the wall. In the bedroom, the bed headboard can play this role, while a wardrobe for outerwear can be used in the hallway. To keep cables in place, you can invest in cable clips and mount them in the back of the furniture.

If you are wondering how to hide cables on the walls, you can also consider buying a lamp with a shelf. The metal base will be the perfect place for small electronics, and the socket located right next to it in a matching colour will create a harmonious whole with the modern fixture.

The cinephile zone - how to hide TV cables without forging?

The entertainment corner is usually located in the most representative interior, which is the living room. Right after the kitchen, this is where most electronic equipment is located. TV, home cinema, speakers, set-top boxes, DVD players - each of these devices needs to be plugged in. The result is a large number of cables that disrupt the aesthetics of the interior. If we organise them cleverly, however, they will not be conspicuous.

Simple furniture with function strips, such as a chest of drawers or a chest of drawers, will prove invaluable when organising cables. They have concealed compartments with masking flaps where we can place the power strip and a number of cables with plugs. The necessary cables can be routed out using discreet grommets.

Audio devices also need organisation in the living room. These can be displayed using the open shelves in the Creative or Ribbon RTV cabinet. The absence of a back panel will allow cables to be conveniently routed behind the furniture and allow air to circulate freely between the equipment. It can be particularly problematic to hide the cables from a TV set that has been hung on the wall. The most aesthetically pleasing effect is achieved by installing a tunnel in the wall, but sometimes we want to do without the need for forging. The most aesthetically pleasing effect can be achieved by fitting a tunnel in the wall, but sometimes you want to do without chiselling.

Relaxation in a harmonious environment - how to tidy up the cables by the bed?

The arrangement of the bedroom should be conducive to our relaxation. When relaxing in the evening, we often like to have our phone or tablet close at hand. The chargers for these devices should be organised in such a way that they are ready for use at any time, but do not take up valuable table top space. We can hide them along with the power supply in the lockable trough of the Simple bedside table. The furniture will also allow us to discreetly plug in a reading light.

If the bedroom interior is small, it is worth choosing the Ball wall lamp with multiple functions. On the side of the wall lamp, there is a USB port for plugging in a smartphone and placing it on the shelf so that it is close at hand in the morning when the alarm clock rings.

Rather than hiding wires, sometimes it makes sense to... expose them

Not all cables are worth hiding or masking. The ones we use most often can just as well be on top, ready for use. Small cables can be coiled and arranged in decorative Velo containers. This way they won't clutter up the space and will always be within easy reach.

Various chargers or cords can become an integral part of the arrangement and add to its character. Such gadgets should be displayed especially in a youth or gaming room, using the Young Users display. The two-sided organiser has a capacious box and a board with holes and hooks, on which we can easily hang USB cables, headphones or console pads.
Wall panels are also an interesting way to display small cables. For the Soform upholstered panels we can buy the required number of hooks and rubber bands, which will help to organise small accessories. Slot panels will also work well on the wall above the desk. We will find holes in them that allow us to install dedicated pegs, shelves and pockets. These will help you deal with the clutter of tangled cables and more.
