Cables and wires are necessary....and also the worst. They take over counters, lay around on floors, and generally just cause a mess. Here are some of my best tips and tricks to getting cables, wires, and cords under control!

A little fun fact: In german there’s a nice word for when a bunch of wires and cords lay around chaotically: „Kabelsalat“, which would be „cable/chord salad“ in English ☺️

We call it "cable salad" which translates into Kabelsalat

Oh very good! That is so succinct and appropriate, ha ha! Cable Salad. So true. I'm going to use that word.

Wrapping up a power cable then plugging it in can be very dangerous! Be careful about doing that. On extension cables that already come on a device that wraps them, it will tell you to fully unwind before use. The reason is how electricity works in a loop like this. It lowers the capacity of the cable to take so much power running along it. So if you put full power through a cable , but it is now wrapped in a loop like this, it will overheat and if it heats too much, can start an electrical fire. So, please be careful about wrapping and plugging in.

I was wondering about this- I had always been told not to wrap cords or if I had to to do it loosely. So when it was wrapped and plugged in 😨. Thanks for sharing!

Indeed, I once used a 5 m extension keeping it all rolled up in its round box...It overheated to the point that the plastic box melted! I'm very careful now and always unroll cables completely, even when they are annoying

These cord management ideas are brilliant, I did not know they existed! Definitely going to look into it. I live in an apartment built in 1981, before all these devices existed. There are three outlets in the bedroom. That is where I have my desk, computer, phone charger, lamps (because at that time overhead lights were not in vogue!) behind my desk, I have two surge protectors, and behind another piece of furniture is another surge protector, with all the spaces filled. Watching a KZfaq DIY video I made a wire basket hanger to keep them off the floor. Just yesterday I had a tv tech here, he told me the wire basket racks were dangerous…… your suggestions came just at the right time. I need to assess what I need and will make some changes. Thank you…..

Man that looks so much better, we just re did all the wires in my room bc some went to things that weren't there anymore and we got a flipper for the tv so it could go between the DVD player, PlayStation, wii, etc without having to go thru all these steps and labeled everything. While it felt and looks great, the cords are all still out and would look great in one of those boxes that i didn't even know was a thing. Thank you!

After much consideration, I require everything be wireless. Wired lamps, phones, and refrigerator-- all no longer allowed. I don't know how, make it so! Also, walls that pictures and shelves will hold their place until i want. None of these command stickers that dont stay and are difficult to use in the first place. I worked in a museum so I know it can be done. Maybe things like clothes and notes can go up too. 🤯Excuse me while i go patent some things! 🤓

I have put quite a bit of thought into ways of making this possible. My most realistic design is basically wireless chargers spaced around underneath the floorboards and everything else having the wires built inside the items. Solve the light switch issue with Bluetooth lightbulbs..

Is there a good way to wrap up the charging cord while in the vehicle? I leave mine plugged in all the time, but the end of the cord is all over the place. My daughter also uses it from the back seat, so just using a cable tie isn't a good option to wind it up, unless maybe a velcro wrap? Mostly it is just me using it in the front seat. Then once I wind it up - use a Command strip somewhere near where it is plugged in? Is there a better solution?

Some great ideas, some not so good. A coil of wire with power running through is called an inductor. Depending on the situation, this is a fire hazard. You should make it a habit to never run power through a coiled wire unless it's designed to be an inductor. The safer option is running the cord in a figure 8, because as the cord crosses over itself, it cancels out induction, which creates heat and an electromagnetic field. This will also induce interference noise into sensitive audio systems. The "cable management box" idea is okay, except for storing excess wire inside. Back to the inductance thing, it's a fire hazard.
