A perfect way of hiding your cables and wires is by creating your own docking station. You can use an old box to separate your phone chargers, laptop chargers, and any other cables you might use. This charging station will keep your home looking organized and neat all while reducing visual clutter.
Baseboards
If you have extremely long cables consider using baseboards to hide them. This is also the safer option because long wires can cause you to trip and you can get hurt or ruin your electronics. The best thing about baseboards is that you can get them to match your wall and floor color.
