Home office & cables

Desk clutter is usually two separate problems wearing one coat: cables you can see, and paper you haven't decided about. They need different solutions.

Cable management box

Hides a power strip and the nest of plugs around it. Get the size up from what you think you need — cables take more room than expected.

Hides the worst of the mess in one move
Ventilated, not sealed
Sits on the floor or mounts under a desk

Desk drawer organiser, adjustable dividers

Adjustable beats fixed here, because desk contents change more often than kitchen contents do.

Reconfigure without rebuying
Deep enough for chargers
Fits standard desk drawers

Under-desk cable management tray

The step beyond a cable box: gets everything off the floor entirely, which makes the room read as tidy even when the desk isn't.

Clamp-on versions need no screws
Floor stays clear for cleaning
Works with sit-stand desks
