I've been making good progress at getting rid of clutter these last 3 weeks of vacation. What a way to spend a vacation.
But I hate how unsightly cords look. Like there's hundreds of cords under this computer. (I didn't set it up.)
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Untangle the cords.Roll up excess slack, tie a "tie wrap" around the rolled up part and hide.(If no tie wrap just use the wire that is wraped around the opening of a bread loaf or any stiff wire)

we tie our cords up with ties and hook the ties over nails/ tacks in the wall behind the desk... (note.... this was done as we set up our computer)
you can buy the ties at almost any office supply place... office depot, staples, i think even walgreens and walmart carry some too.... ( they look kinda like garbage bag ties only longer and more durable and they have a locking mechanism) they are very inexpensive... you can still tie the cords up together so that they dont show.... but it is easier to do before you set all up and push the furniture back on the wall ;)

Well, you could always drill a few holes in the floor and run them underneath and back up into the wall, that is if you have the luxury of a basement. You could get one of those cord cover thingamabobs. Line them up, string 'em together with your favorite color ribbon with sparkles. Other than that, I'd just say, suffer.

you can take up a corner of the carpet and hide it underneath. They make a tool to push the cord under the length of the carpet. you can also buy strips that cover the cords. Paint or buy them to match.

You could use empty paper towel or toilet paper tubes to string the cords through. It will help keep them more organized. Or you could use pvc piping as well, if you want a cleaner look!:) Hope this tip helped...Oh, one more, also zip ties can help keep the lengthy wires wrapped up!:)

Velcro strips to hold wires together. My bf gave them to me. I'm not sure where he got them. Maybe Staples or Office Max. Check out those kinds of stores to see what options you have. I'm pretty sure you can buy plastic pipes to put all your wires thru.
