We already wrote about the arrangement of storage places in the article "Storage places in a small apartment". However, at that time, we paid attention to large-scale projects, such as converting a storage room into dressing room and maximum use of podium functions. Now I would like to offer several options for arranging storage places for small things, which turn out to be very important for a comfortable stay.

If you have ever searched your apartment, trying to find the keys to your office, the ever-disappearing TV remote control or mobile phone charger, the ideas proposed in this article will come in handy.

Phones, remotes, chargers, sewing accessories, the children's designer... In each apartment there are many such small, but very necessary items. How to arrange convenient places to store all these things? We are ready to offer you ten simple options that don't require a lot of money

1. A shelf for keys and small things in the hallway in the form of a mailbox, an antique shelf or a soft “pocket” on the wall

If you think about it, a shelf or a key pocket on the hallway wall is a necessary thing. Usually there are several sets of keys in each family, and their search in an immense women's handbag or a spacious wall box can take a lot of time, which is already not enough in the morning.

It is not difficult to make a shelf or key box yourself. As an option, you can use a regular mailbox, of course, pre-painted and put in order. Key hooks simply attach to it, and inside you can store receipts for utilities and fresh newspapers.

Another option is a small shelf, decorated antique. Such a cute and convenient item will help to put in order craquelure varnish and conventional water-based paint.

Needleworkers may well replace regular shelf or a key box with a soft textile pocket that can be decorated with buttons, embroidery or turned into soft toy. It will turn out very cute, roomy and comfortable. All these "storages" are simply hung on the wall in the most convenient, "handy" place in the hallway.

2. Do-it-yourself stand for pencils and pens from improvised containers or papier-mâché

The mess on the table will definitely not contribute to the increase in working capacity, and such a tabletop will look, to put it mildly, sloppy. Meanwhile, when creating coasters for pens and pencils, an amazing scope for creativity opens up!

Here are just a few options:

1. Good old papier-mâché. Everyone who attended labor lessons at school is familiar with this technology for making crafts. It only takes suitable shape, scraps of newspapers, flour paste and paints to give the product a bright and attractive look.
2. Clay. Clay craft kits are now available at any children's store. The material, pleasant to the touch and environmentally friendly, allows you to create amazingly beautiful things.
3. Cardboard boxes decorated with beads, buttons, threads, shells. You can use not only small cup boxes or mobile phones but also round rolls of toilet paper. And you can literally decorate them any way you like.
4. Wood. An option for those who know how to cut with a jigsaw and are friends with a drill. The simplest and yet original way- find a not too thick cut of a tree trunk and simply drill a lot of holes in it, where pencils and pens will be inserted.
5. circumcised plastic bottles and cans. Such containers can be decorated with fabric, textile flowers, knit an unusual cover.

It is interesting that today such pencil holders self made considered highly fashion trend and rightfully occupy a place not only on desk schoolboy, but also in strict offices, making a note home comfort into a working environment.

And how do you like this unusual option transformation cans in a holder for pencils and felt-tip pens? All you need is magnets and the imagination of the author

In this case, to create unusual stand used beans, felt and glue. The beans were then simply painted to make the stand look like a corncob.

3. Shelves and hooks on the bathroom door

The bathroom, traditionally one of the smallest rooms in the house, usually stores a lot of things. At the same time, the place on the door, for some reason, is not often used. Meanwhile, with the help of ordinary, inexpensive hooks and towel holders, you can turn the door into a convenient storage place.

So that you can hang not only a towel and a bathrobe on the door, but also place other small but necessary items, you can use the same system of textile pockets.

Just remember that the bathroom is a “wet” place, and for sewing pockets on the door, you should use a fabric that is not afraid of water, or thick cellophane.

A multi-tier storage system on the bathroom door will allow you to conveniently place a lot of small things

4. Baby storage bucket in the bathroom

Does your child like to swim? Then your bathroom most likely stores toys that a young sailor usually dives and indulges with. Where to store all these boats, numerous soldiers, rubber ducks and baby dolls? It is most convenient to put all the toys in a children's bucket, which is usually used only in the sandbox.

The bucket can simply be placed on a shelf or hung on a hook. If the bucket is iron, it can be painted to match the color of the bathroom, and it will become an integral part of the interior. A plastic bucket can be decorated with stickers or decals.

If there is very little space in the bathroom or you want to create original design, even toothbrushes and toothpaste can be stored in a children's bucket

5. DIY jars for spices and all kinds of food in the kitchen

All housewives know what to store spices and other bulk products best in glass containers, with a securely closed lid to preserve their aroma and properties. However, just glass jars- it's boring.

Why not, for example, decorate a coffee jar with coffee beans? Firstly, it will immediately be clear what is stored here, and secondly, only the coffee beans themselves and reliable glue will be needed.

Decoupage, so popular today, is also great for decorating containers in the kitchen. You can pick up suitable pictures on the net, for example, with the image of cereals, tea, and so on, so as not to waste time looking for jars.

If you are not sure that you can cope with decoupage technology that is unfamiliar to you, you can simply pick up bright, thick threads, attach a piece of cardboard with a beautifully written name of the spice to them and attach it to the lid. And the decor, and it is immediately clear what is here.

By the way, now there are convenient jars for spices and small things that are hung on rails. So everything you need for cooking will always be at hand.

Thick threads different color and cards with names - everything is very simple, but at the same time unusual and beautiful

In this case, when designing a jar for coffee, not only coffee beans were used, but also decoupage

Plain glass jars can be a great storage place for spices. One has only to take care of reliable plugs and simply sign each container

It is quite possible to hang on the railing not only a ladle, but also jars of spices, closed with special lids

6. Magnetic boards on the back of the kitchen cabinet door and fridge magnet jars

Another way to save space in the kitchen and still store a lot of little things is to use magnetic boards and magnets on the lids of jars. To make such unusual magnetic jars with your own hands, you will first need a magnetic sheet, jars with fairly reliable lids, a pencil, glue, plain paper and scissors.

It is better to take jars not glass, but plastic ones - they weigh less and will hold more securely. The bottom of the jar is outlined with a pencil, then cut out along the contour required amount magnetic circles.

Magnets are glued to the bottom of the jar, and on paper we again write the names of spices in beautiful handwriting and glue it to the container. It is clear that such cans can be “magnetized” either on the refrigerator, which is not always convenient, or on a special magnetic board that can be attached, for example, to the door wall of one of the kitchen cabinets.

By the way, with the help of such a system, you can store a lot of things not only on the refrigerator or cabinet door, but also under the shelf - that's all. Convenient and saves a lot of space.

Jars with magnetic lids are perfectly attached to the refrigerator. In this case, the owners decided not to sign them, but to decorate them with different ornaments - you have to remember that in a jar with stripes or peas

Such small jars for spices will have to be bought specifically, like a magnetic board. But, believe me, this way of storing spices is very convenient and will not take up space in the kitchen at all.

7. Compartments for phones and chargers in the drawer

Have your chargers ever tangled up? So either you have only one mobile phone in your family or you know how to store such irreplaceable devices right. Usually, all the charges are simply folded into a common drawer of a chest of drawers or walls in the living room, lying around where you have to throughout the apartment, and as a result, finding the right one turns out to be very difficult. The phone at this time annoyingly squeaks, warning of an imminent "outage", and the owner of the house is nervous.

Dealing with this problem is very simple. Yes, keep chargers and mobile phones in drawer convenient, besides, it is easy to close it with a key if there are small children in the house. However, it is worth dividing the box into separate sections - for each charger from the phone, e-book, tablet and so on. You can also “storage” the phones themselves there - there is enough space.

It is convenient when phones and, accordingly, chargers for them, lie like this - each in his own department. You won’t confuse and you don’t have to look for a long time. Such sections are similar to kitchen ones, designed to store forks and spoons. You can buy ready-made, or you can build from planks and planks yourself

Have you ever seen such a picture in your own chest of drawers or on a shelf? You are a very meticulous person!

8. Shelf or box for remotes

Another item that is constantly lost and disappears in an unknown direction is the TV remote control. Yes, if only he was alone! AT modern home there are usually at least two TVs, but there is also a tuner, a DVD player, music Center and many more devices for which a special remote control is designed.

And all these control systems for light, music and television usually lie where the owner left - that is, anywhere. Specials on sale today plastic mounts for consoles of a certain size, which can be easily and simply attached to the wall. But, you see, a number of such fixtures above the sofa will look somehow too “high-tech” and out of place.

But one shelf or box for all the remotes in your home in the most convenient place - just right. Moreover, it can be built independently and decorated in accordance with the style of interior design of the living room.

It is easy to build such a box for remote controls yourself. And if it seems too rough and simple to you, you can always paint it, decorate it with decoupage or textiles.

9. Wicker boxes, baskets, trays

Vine products, the so-called "wickerwork", are still one of the most popular storage places. They fit perfectly not only in country style, but also in modern interior, and perform their role of "repository" impeccably.

The advantages of wicker boxes and boxes include their versatility, environmental friendliness, attractive external parameters and low cost. There are many types of "wicker" - from capacious deep boxes to flat fruit trays and caskets for small items.

In such wicker boxes with comfortable handles you can put anything - from vegetables to books and newspapers.

Wicker boxes with lids are even more convenient - they look beautiful and keep things safer. Often used to store jewelry and sewing supplies

10. Gift and candy boxes for small items

Another universal option storage facilities for important little things. Advantage cardboard boxes, left over from gifts or sweets, is that they can be easily arranged under general style room interior.

In addition, such "storages" weigh little, and if you put the boxes one on top of the other, you can save space on the shelf.

The only disadvantages of this option:

• you should not use cardboard boxes in the kitchen or in the bathroom, as they are afraid of moisture, and they are simply not intended for food storage;
• The service life of cardboard boxes is usually short, they are easily wrinkled and can tear. However, there is usually no shortage of such containers - new gifts and, accordingly, boxes appear in the house with enviable regularity.

How do we usually deal with gift boxes? We quickly take out valuable contents, tearing colorful packaging, and throw it away. And if you try to carefully save the packaging in order to use it for storage, for example, small parts from a children's designer?

Chocolate boxes usually have many compartments in which it is convenient to put all kinds of little things - buttons, paper clips, beads ... Sometimes egg cartons are used for this purpose, but, you see, candy boxes look much more beautiful

The order in the house consists precisely of such trifles as the presence convenient places storage. It's nice to know that the right thing is always at hand and exactly where it should be - in a specially designed place. And if the “storages” for small things are also originally decorated with their own hands, the interior will look especially interesting and homely.

Hello everyone! Often, when trying to organize our home, we forget about the details, which are very important and not conspicuous. First of all, we start thinking about storing clothes, kitchen utensils, books or cosmetics. But the wires from chargers, adapters, headphones continue to be in disarray. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to give you an idea that will help you choose the best way for you to organize your cords.

How to organize wire storage: the best ideas

It's very simple, let me tell you. You can create some of their organizers with your own hands, or you can not work, but just go to the store and purchase at very low prices. By the way, I saw a lot of similar things on Aliexpress, this is just a godsend for hostesses.

If you are constantly losing headphones from your phone, or charging from your camera, then immediately start reading the post. And then create a place that will become a permanent refuge for them.

Toilet paper rolls. An unexpected decision, truth? A cheap and very easy way to collect wires, twist and put inside. By the way, you can store them not only in a basket, but also in a drawer, like an organizer. If you don't want to wait until the end toilet paper, you can buy cardboard and make such bushings yourself. And to make them look decent, decorate with decorative tape or paste over with paper.

Boxes. The second and very easy way to eliminate clutter is to make boxes out of storage. The photo above shows the most best option when the inside of the box itself is divided by partitions, beautifully designed and signed each cell. Now you will never get tangled up in wires, chargers and headphones. And never throw away shoeboxes!

If your hands are not hooks, you know how to sew and have a desire to create something, then this option is for you. A simple fabric organizer for storing wires with elastic bands can not only be twisted, but also hung on a hook, for example, under a table.

Well, for those who are not familiar with sewing, a ready-made organizer bag is suitable. it great way collect and neatly lay out chargers, cords and other accessories for equipment. In addition, it is very convenient to take it with you.

In one of the articles I wrote about how to use . So, I really liked the idea of ​​​​folding the cords there. Agree very convenient option.

There must be order both on the table and under it. It is not only beautiful, but also safe. Randomly scattered and disorganized wires create a fire hazard. Therefore, take this matter seriously.

The best, in my opinion, way to assemble the wires together is to use Velcro or clerical clips. And adapters and power supplies in special containers that can be bought or made from a shoe box.

A special solution was invented for headphones - cut a rectangle out of thick paper, make two longitudinal cuts on top, at the end of which cut out circles. Insert the speakers themselves into them, and wind the rest of the wire around the workpiece. Now you will not need to constantly unravel the knots.

Sockets on the walls, often also accumulate various kinds wires and chargers. Organizing them is easy enough. Exist special devices, which are attached together with the charger or wires next to it and are used safely without creating a feeling of clutter.

This is how I suggest you organize the storage of wires in your home. Share your ways! See you soon!

An extension cord with chargers constantly gets in the way on the table or under your feet, collects a lot of dust, and it looks unaesthetic. Dealing with this problem is very simple: take a nice box, make a few holes in it and hide all the wires and cables there.

There are also turnkey solutions, such as Plug Hub from Quirky. This is a box made of hard plastic with a rubberized bottom. On the top there are three holes for cables, and inside there are three fasteners, on which you can wind too long cords. Plug Hub can be placed on the floor or mounted on the wall.

2. Fix the wires under the tabletop

To fix the wires and extension cord under the table, you will need binders and screws (they must be at least a quarter less than the thickness of the table top in length, otherwise they will go through and the table will be damaged). First of all, fix the extension under the table top, preferably in the middle of the table or closer to the wall. Then fix the binders in the right places with screws. Connect everything you need to the extension cord and assemble the wires with clamps. Visually, the table has become much cleaner and neater.

There is an easier option if you don't need to hide a large number of wires. This will require construction stapler. To prevent the long wire from the lamp from dangling under your feet, carefully fasten it with paper clips at the table leg. A small extension can also be fixed with paper clips. For thicker wires, it is better to use special clamps (for example, these).

Do you like stapler staples? Regular zip ties will do. Secure the cable to the table leg with cable ties. The wires that run along the floor can be covered with plastic or a plank to match the color of the floor. The extension can be fastened under the tabletop with a wide Velcro: fix it with screws on reverse side countertops, and then attach the extension. To keep the wires from dangling under the table, pass them through cable channels - they can be purchased at any hardware store. You can fix the channels themselves with electrical tape or a regular plaster.

3. Organize cable storage

Get rid of the confusion in the wires will help them proper organization. To get started, collect cords from phones, a player, a game console, and tablets around the house. Then take the boxes (preferably prettier), place cardboard dividers inside them, sign the place for each cable (so as not to get confused later) and lay everything out neatly. To avoid tangling the wires themselves, use ordinary ties.

If you don't feel like messing around with boxes, buy a basket and stock up on toilet paper rolls.

If the wires do not bother you, you can simply attach a label to each to make it easier to distinguish between them. For example, like this:

4. Keep all the necessary wires close at hand

Not all cables we can hide in a box: we need some of them almost constantly. The solution is simple: mount them on the edge of your desktop so that you can reach out and connect the device to the right wire if necessary. Sugru will help us with this - plasticine-rubber and one of the most indispensable things in the household. Don't believe? Then look.

Roll the Sugru into small balls and place on a table support. Then, with a clerical knife, remove some plasticine (carefully, try not to deform the balls much). Life hack: to prevent plasticine from sticking to the blade, pre-rinse it with soapy water. Then adjust the shape a little with a sushi stick or a toothpick to get neat hollows (they should be slightly wider than your wires). Everything is ready, you can fix the cables.

There is an option for those who know how to work with wood. A small block with holes will help organize all the wires on the desktop.

The simplest solution is to pass the wires through the binders attached to the tabletop.

5. Don't hide wires

Seriously, if you get creative, cables can become interesting element decor.
