Storing extra cords and chargers can be a pain because  they can create quite a bit of clutter.  But today I'm going to give you some tips for making it easier!

I store all of our extra cords and charges in our entryway table.  The drawers are wide and deep so they work perfectly for storing them.  However they can also get quite messy.  Here is what the drawers in my entry table looked like before I organized them:

#3 Sort them into baskets according to each category.

This is what it looked like when I was finished:

Cords, chargers, etc. are now easy to find when we need them.

Here are a couple other great ideas:
