15 easy ways to organize your messy cords, because you don’t have to live like this

You’re a mess. Well, not you, but your cords. You know the scene. Tangled wires. Chargers everywhere. And those damn routers that just ruin any shabby-chic decor. Technology is a part of our everyday lives, so it’s no wonder there are wires everywhere (even wireless items still have chargers!). But since spring is finally here, and it’s all about renewal and decluttering your home of unnecessary items, there’s no better time than now to hide the cords that are cluttering every corner of your home.

Luckily, it’s pretty easy to manage the clutter that tech seems to create.

You can buy products to make your life easier or, if you’re more of the DIY type, there’s no shortage of common household items you can repurpose to hide cords around your home.
