Everyone has a lot of wires, cords, chargers for gadgets (phones, players, cameras, navigators, etc.). And often this category of things, compared to such things as clothes, shoes, accessories, is in complete disarray. Our new author, professional space organizer Nadezhda Avvakumova, has already started talking about the practically “forbidden” - cleaning wires and various other male devices. In this article we will continue the topic and look at several ways to store and organize wires, cords, and chargers.
Boxes
Boxes, be they cardboard or plastic, are a great place to store anything. And if you think through their internal space wisely, it will be a good idea to organize all the wires, cords and chargers in the house. Here are a couple of ideas on how to do this:
If you divide a simple box into compartments using cardboard, sign each cell and put the wires there, then it will not be difficult for you and your household to find the one you need. You can even allocate a separate drawer for some gadgets, as Eteri did, giving the name to one of them - “Computer Accessories”. The main thing is to send the cord back to its cell after use. No time to do handmade things? Ours with many small cells will also do a great job of storing wires.
Budget and environmentally friendly option - do it in toilet paper tubes or cardboard tubes Each wire has its own “house”. To make them look nice, decorate them with decorative tape or cover them with paper. It will be possible to give a second life and cups. Any kind will do - plastic, plastic. Simple, convenient and budget-friendly.
box can also be used as storage for phone chargers. Make small holes in the side walls. On one side there will be plugs that you can plug into a tee or socket, and on the other there will be a plug. Such a box can become a decorative element.

For work we will need: half a meter of two types of fabrics in contrasting colors, a zipper, threads, pins, a sewing machine, a piece of felt, scissors, a belt fastener, etc. Also, such an organizer can be sewn by hand without a sewing machine.
The process of making the case in the photo
We begin work by cutting out two pieces from two types of fabrics, each measuring 23x15 cm. We sew them facing each other while simultaneously sewing a zipper between them.
For density, you can add a few more layers inside, as well as a layer of padding polyester or felt. We sew all the layers together, adding elastic bands for the wires.
Sew on the fastener
Ready organizer

Hello everyone! Often, when trying to organize our home, we forget about details, both very important and not conspicuous.

How to organize wire storage: the best ideas
It's very simple, I tell you. You can create some of their organizers with your own hands, or you can not work hard, but just go to the store and buy them at very low prices. By the way, I saw a lot of similar things on Aliexpress, this is just a godsend for housewives.
If you constantly lose your phone headphones or camera charger, then immediately start reading the post. And then create a place that will become a permanent refuge for them.
Toilet paper rolls. An unexpected decision, right? A cheap and very easy way to collect wires, twist them and put them inside. By the way, you can store them not only in a basket, but also in a drawer, like an organizer. If you don’t want to wait until the toilet paper runs out, you can buy cardboard and make these sleeves yourself. To make them look decent, decorate them with decorative tape or cover them with paper.
Boxes. The second and very simple way to eliminate clutter is to make storage out of boxes. The photo above shows the best option, when the inside of the box itself is divided by partitions, beautifully decorated and each cell is signed. Now you will never get confused in wires, chargers and headphones. And never throw away shoe boxes!
If you don’t have hands with hooks, you know how to sew and have a desire to create something, then this option is for you. A simple organizer made of fabric for storing wires with elastic bands can not only be twisted, but also hung on a hook, for example, under a table.
Well, for those who are not familiar with sewing, a ready-made organizer bag is suitable. This is a great way to collect and neatly organize chargers, cords and other accessories for equipment. In addition, it is very convenient to take with you.
In one of the articles I wrote about how to use . So, I really liked the idea of putting cords there. Agree, a very convenient option.
There should be order both on the table and under it. It is not only beautiful, but also safe. Chaotically scattered and disorganized wires create a fire hazard. Therefore, take this issue seriously.
The best way, in my opinion, to connect the wires together is to use Velcro or office clips. And adapters and power supplies in special containers that you can buy or make from a shoe box.
A special solution has been invented for headphones - cut out a rectangle from thick paper, make two longitudinal cuts on top, and cut out circles at the end. Insert the speakers themselves into them, and wrap the rest of the wire around the workpiece. Now you won't have to constantly untangle knots.
Sockets on the walls often also accumulate various kinds of wires and charges. Organizing them is quite easy. There are special devices that are attached together with the charger or wires next to it and are safely used without creating a feeling of clutter.
This is how I suggest you organize the storage of wires in your home. Share your ways! See you again!
