10 Proven Ways to Reduce Cable Clutter Around the Home

[@AccordingtoNicole]

One day you're young and spontaneous. The next you're watching a video about cable management.

[@homeandgardendiy6363]

Haha. True! 😂

This hits home a tad hard 😂

hahahahaha sigh yep

[@futuregrim]

The thing I appreciate mpst about this video is finally being able to put a name to all of those cable management items. There has been oh so many times where I am in a store or shopping online and have to ask/search fo "sticky hooks that hold cables" or something similar. This knowledge will be very useful after I finish my move. Thank you.

Having clean visual no cables visible in your spaces is absolutely necessary on the mental space. It took me several hours to do it just because I'm not great at figuring out all that stuff but I took an afternoon to like vacuum and clean up and declutter everything and yeah it is so wonderful to conceal all those cables. I like seeing the one sleeve of cables bundled and all that free space is such a great feeling. I am taking notes because I move out next month and will have to do it all over again but I do it once and it's all done :D great video! Looks like I will be buying cable boxes and zipper pouches lol

Your idea for the cable tunnel and power bar under the desk was a must do when I purchased my standing desk. One single cable seen to the wall outlet. Man, it's clean and really changes the feel of the desk area! I highly recommend investing the time to do this. It's a one and done type thing too. Worth it.

[@k-for-days]

I love your videos - so practical and straight to the point without a lot of padding! This one is particularly timely for me and my new wall-mounted TV. Thanks for your wonderful content ❤

[@WereRea3807]

By using scissors and a lighter you can make exit points on the woven cable sleeves. I use that for the power cables for my consoles and TV that way they all are in it together and then branch out when needed.

[@cchoi108]

I basically made a backsplash for underneath my desk with an extra piece of pine plywood I had laying around. I put all the cables behind the plywood. It goes with my decor really well and strangely blends right in.

[@idancealways4ever440]

I like the idea of this cable tray that you said at the very end. I haven’t seen that before and I think that would be the most useful for my desk set up, so thank you so much.

[@stefanitadio6236]

I just discovered those Velcro wraps recently - game changer! Great video!

[@hfabritius]

Thanks for this! And for your other videos as well, I've watched them all. We have pet rabbits, so we've hidden all of our cables using strategies 3 and 6-10. Strategies 1 and 5 (esp. the idea of hiding charger cables behind the desk using these) were new to me, and the cable conduits with multiple exists and junctions are just awesome!

[@coolfamily7695]

Having a home office now, I found this video really useful. Thank you for sharing 👍

[@caobatron]

Love your channel, and how clear and pleasant your presentations are. Ty!

[@javiej]

Good video, thanks. Those techniques work well for basic cable management, but If you want to brign things to the next level there is a simple rule that makes a huge difference: "Do not let any cable, charger, or power strip to even touch the floor, even if not visible". Keep zero tolerance about it (but of course put alternative routing paths first). Use hollow sockets to stsrt wirh, and then add all the other techniques already present in the video...). Cables and power strips in the floor get dusty and greasy, they entangle with each orher like if they were alive, they make the floor difficult to clean (when not impossible), they are difficult to maintain and replace as tech evolves, and they are an accident waiting to happen. And it makes cables to look ugly unnecesarily. When done properly CABLES ARE BEAUTIFUL, they can even serve as an interesting decorative element, even a work of art when throwing some talent at them.

Pouches with origami-style inner pockets are the most durable form of compartments for a bag / pouch. The company "Peak Design" was perhaps the first and is rather in the upper range in terms of purchase price, but in the meantime there are numerous other manufacturers who have adopted and copied this way of designing the inner compartments.

[@ccpenthusiast4683]

wonderful video as usual

[@bmg2804]

Another (semi-permanent) solution I might add it using (plastic/wood) cable duct skirting and cutting a small whole below the wall socket for the wire to enter and another at the exit point. Usually you can hide 2-3 cables in there.

[@AmandaJYoungs]

I would have saved this to a playlist I have, but I can't because there's no "Save" option. 😞 Great video, Daniel, thank you!

[@jeffagostinelli_official]

SOOOOO useful. Great video Daniel. Thank you!

[@Fausto_moh]

I have a painting that’s leaning against the wall. One day I moved it and my girlfriend had no idea that there were cables and a power strip behind it.

[@marlabrunker738]

Putting electrical outlets in closets seems like an obvious "hide-your-electronics" solution to me (especially for items like routers, cordless vacuums, etc.), but I've never see one. Would doing so be a building code issue?

[@Br3tti]

Nice Video ! Are you gonna make a dedicated Video about your beatiful new Desk Setup ?

[@maxresdefault_]

re: zipper pouches, I have a cheap pencil case in my bag that I always use to carry a power bank, cables, and hard drive. I love it!

[@JRBeckford]

@Daniel Titchener// Definitely surprised u did not velcro mount the GAN charger to the back of your night stand!

[@lcadigitalmedia]

great informative video!

[@rm_bruna]

My work pc has 11 cables attached and the stress is real. I have some zip ties to secure all of them together and most of the length is attached at the top back part with some nails for the cables to sit on top like a mini shelve 😂

[@zette4273]

I was wondering, is the H!v2 pc quiet? Ive heard its really loud at idle

[@ciepykocyg8692]

I'm more interested in how to arrange the cables because of their interaction with each other. For example, how to minimize capacitance and induction between cables to ensure stability. Of course while maintaining an aesthetic appearance.

[@IanDresarie]

realisticly for home use, you won't ever run into that. the only point I could see this be an issue is if you have a very thinly isolated cable for a super sensitive device like audiophile speakers pared up with a literal coil of PC power plugs. But really, if you buy the proper cables they should already be twisted and isolated in a way that makes their influence negliable

[@ciepykocyg8692]

@@IanDresarie good to know, thank you

[@arcadia485]

that is a nice view at 0:05

[@JokesOnHer]

I have the Amazon plug for my lights. Hard to hide the cords cuz I can’t use an extension/power strip

[@psammiad]

Would be nice to have chapters in your videos so we can jump to different things.

[@NatTanYZ]

what about cables on desks? sticking out from the computer and going to mice/keyboards. 😬

[@ryannatividad3137]

It costs something, but you can buy wireless models (as it appears Daniel he has on his desk). Otherwise, if you want to work with what you already have, I would just tighten up the chords as tight as possible, and not having long loose ends. You could also use some of the consolidation strategies (such as velcro or braided chord sleeves) he suggested to combine them and make them more attractive if they stand out too much.

[@chigz_]

I've seen people drill a small hole in the desk and put a rubber grommet in to the route the cables for the keyboard and mouse; slightly above where your mousepad would be (to somewhat hide the grommet). It can be combined with the cable raceway under the desk leading to a tower or a hub in the case of a laptop.

[@evalindell2757]

Brilliant! So useful 👍

[@JennySk-t2k]

I bought Blue Hive sticky cable clips, absolutely useless. They unstuck themselves from the back of my night table almost immediately. I guess I’ll need to pull out the Gorilla Glue.

[@manii_velle]

We can feel the pain at 5:32 haha

nightstands? bedside tables!

[@wilmaknickersfit]

He's in Canada.

[@M-M-EXTRA]

@@wilmaknickersfit i know daniel is in canada. but he’s british and we say bedside table. so i’m quite surprised how someone who lived his entire life in the uk, then moves to canada, suddenly changes british terms for north american ones

[@ninaotan7811]

I’d think that people watching this video don’t need a description of how many cables they have.

[@mihailonovkovic]

Third, amazing video btw

[@cool-eo9xc]

Make tiktok contents please !!!!!!!!

[@GrizverG]

Clutter removal is something content creators do. Regular pleb does not care that much

[@mr.g354]

I think they should just make a powerstrip surrounded by a container, why do we need to buy 2 things for this?

[@deeeno6867]

🤑🤑🤑capitalism gonna capitalize🤑🤑🤑

[@deeeno6867]

(I do fully agree though-I’m surprised that ikea hasn’t come out with one yet. It’d be very on-brand for them)

[@pamelafox7677]

Thanks for all these product ideas. I like your spatial videos, but where’s the decor? The rooms in your house look like a nice clean prison, no color, no artwork, no texture, no charm, no memorabilia.

[@BIIIIIBEK]

1st

[@Heverlaura001]

You will never know how i got so little amount of likes oh btw first

[@Financebro810]

please do more architect redesigns and/or furniture/decor videos - these videos are getting stale… why is there a whole video on cable management?
