How to hide your desk cables: 5 simple solutions
ECLATDESK
A desk can be perfectly tidy and still look messy: the cables are to blame. Chargers, power strips, extension leads… Here are five simple solutions to make them disappear.
1. Hide the power strip in a cable box
It's often the biggest tangle of cables. A cable management box holds the power strip and excess wires, letting only the essentials out. The Épure box comes in beige and grey, and in sets of 2 or 3 to equip several rooms.
2. Run the cables under the desk
Rather than letting them hang down behind, run them along the underside of the desktop to the desk leg. They become almost invisible.
3. Store chargers in an under-desk drawer
Chargers and cables you don't use every day can leave the work surface. A no-drill under-desk drawer keeps them within reach, out of sight.
4. Switch to wireless charging
Fewer visible cables also means fewer cables altogether. A phone stand with a wireless charger or a desk mat with built-in charging removes the phone cable from the desk.
5. Group what's left
For the few cables that remain visible, bundle them along a single path instead of letting them go in every direction. The eye immediately sees a calmer desk.
A safety tip
Don't overload your power strip, and don't place any device that heats up inside a closed box.
