Creative Cord Organizers: Love or Leave?

October 26, 2007

I'm all about ingenious ways to hide my cords, but I don't know if I'd be willing to put up a white-picket fence in order to do so. Here are two creative ways to keep those pesky cables hidden— a Wall Cleat and a Picket Fence. Featured on Gearfuse, the white, simplistic Wall Cleat lets you wrap loose, unplugged cables around it, therefore keeping your dangling cables neatly stowed. And with the indoor Picket Fence which I spotted on OhGizmo!, will create a wall to hide all your wires around a room — much nicer looking than using duct tape, that is for sure! What do you think about both of these methods? Leave your comments below!

I like the fence, if I had the sort of decor to match that, I would definitely go for it. I'd like to find something that looks sort of like crown molding to hide my cords. Our family room/office is a bit too cord-cluttered, between cable, TiVo, computers, servers, etc. Anything to make it look more homey and less office-y.

They are both really cute though if you have kids I am not sure they would be that good...at least in my case my daughter likes to pull on everything so it wouldn't last very long lol

Have to say the picket fence is a pretty popular one and my choice too. But for guy friendly the wrap up is more of a hit with my family

That is very convenient! I would definitely buy that!

Wow. That fence is a little too much.I am always tripping over my chords. You would think that after a couple times I would learn to pick up my feet more...I would use the one around the outlet over that fence..

The fence one would only go with certain decors...I don't really like it much.

The cleat is fine. The picket fence is not fine.

I like both ideas. If I had the perfect cute house or office then I would do the white picket fence thing. But right now it is just something for my dog Izzi to chew on. I really would like to try the one around the outlet.
