Hiding Techno Clutter - Home Staging Tip
Sharon Tara has a terrific idea for reducing clutter on your counter tops and desk areas while still being able to keep things there that you need handy for use.
We all have them…unsightly techno gadgets cluttering up our kitchen counters. Technology is great, but the chargers and plugs can add up. Most Home Staging consults I’ve done have involved dealing with cordless phones, cell phones and phone chargers.
Sellers would prefer to avoid the inconvenience of having to relocate their phones while their house is on the market.
One solution is to hide the “phone clutter” within a decorative or “breadbox” type container.
By drilling a hole in the back of the container, using a hole saw, your phones, cords and chargers can live inside the box. All the mess is hidden inside, but still easily accessible.
It’s a great idea for organizing your office and desk too.
A couple of years ago Michelle Molinari wrote a similar post. Michelle uses beautiful boxes and containers as "crap traps" to hide the junk that accumulates on kitchen counters.
By taking Michelle's idea one step further and drilling a hole in the back, you can also eliminate phones and other techno "crap" like ipods...anything with a cord or charger can be hidden from view and still have access to an outlet.
