Do you have loads of electronics but not enough room to store and charge all of them?! Check out this easy peasy DIY electronics charging system!
Check it out: An easy-to-make charging station for handheld electronics by @DeliberateMom! #DIY #cellphonecharging #home Click To Tweet
Our household has a lot of electronic gadgets. When my husband started his new job back in September, he was given a handheld electronic device and a cell phone. Add these to our existing two cell phones and his iPod and suddenly there were not enough plugins in the kitchen. Actually, there were enough plugins in the kitchen but I didn’t want my counters cluttered with all these devices.
So here’s what I did to solve this problem:
I emptied my IKEA MOPPE drawer system of all it’s pencils, pens, and miscellaneous goodies.
I drilled a large hole in the back wood panel of the system and threaded the cords of each device through to each of their respective drawers. All of the devices are plugged into a small power bar behind the system and voila! Grand Central charging station.
I was thinking of painting it but so far I’m happy with the neutral wood look.
Do you have a charging station for all of your electronics?

Smart solution! Anything that minimizes clutter and hides wires is a win-win in my book!
I love our charging centre! So happy to have those wires and devices hidden!
What a great idea! I’m all for cutting down on cords and plugs, too!
Yes… banish the cords and plugs! Hooray!
This is a genius idea!!!
Thanks Susannah! I’m feeling quite proud of myself.
Great idea! You should paint it white, or a bright fun color would add a great pop to that area!

I’ve debating what to paint it. It’s totally a blank “canvas”… I’ll have to think on that for a while.

What a clever idea! I have my kitchen counter cluttered with charging electronics, and this is a better solution.
I’m so pleased with it Susan! It completely tidies things up!
I don’t have a charging system but considering I just got a cell phone and tablet, we’re going to need one. I love Ikea furniture and it’s so affordable. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Sarah! It’s nice to have everything “clean” and in order.
I like things to be as simple and organized as possible- so I like this a lot. But I mostly like how clever you are to use things you already have to make new things. Smart girl
Thanks! I feel so accomplished when I re-purpose something. I love that all those cords and electronics are hidden now!
I love making things organized! And this is one of the great ideas I have read. Will surely make one of this at home. It will help us a lot in finding which charger is for my phone and my hubby’s.
