Do you have piles of papers on your desk, or worse, your kitchen counter or dining room table? Have any stray, ugly cords?
Here are are a few clever tricks that will get that clutter out of sight, and what I love best is that they are as attractive as they are functional:
- Use decorative boxes to keep mail, receipts and coupons in.
- Store items underneath a table and add a tablecloth that reaches the floor to conceal your storage.
- Display a pretty book in a stand, to hide outlets and cords on kitchen counters.
- Hang your window treatments wider & taller than the window and all the way to the floor, too. Not only does it had height and drama, but it will hide those pesky outlets and cords, too.

And finally, create a charging station for your electronic items by drilling a hole in the back of a drawer of a table for the electric cords. Place the table near the entrance of your home. Open the drawer and hook up all of your items and then when you close the drawer you will not have to look at them until the next time you head out the door.

Hi Bella,
Those are great suggestions, and very helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Love all the ideas, esp the drawer for a charging station.
Great tips, Bella! Thanks for sharing!
I use boxes, baskets and pretty things to cover or hide “ugly” or unwanted things. People coming to my house asks how I get the place to organized! lol
I can actually say that I do a couple of these things. I like decorative boxes for hiding stuff. I also have a skirted table by my bed and I keep one of those ugly plastic drawer units underneath to stash things in. Very handy! And I had a post on my blog a few weeks ago about a desk drawer that had been turned into a charging station. I love that idea and am looking for a good piece of furniture to modify!
