A charging station is a must for every home today, most of us just can’t imagine our lives without gadgets. If you want a stylish charging station that won’t clutter the space, this roundup is for you as we’ve gathered all the coolest ideas, most of which you’ll be able to realize yourself.
Open Charging Stations
The easiest idea is to make an open charging station that can be clearly seen but still it’s easy to add. Let’s use vertical space, and these can be shelves and ledges, built-in or not. Make sure your devices are held well: adding some plastic pieces or even some straps can be nice to hold everything in place. Attach these shelves next to sockets and voila! I especially love the minimalist version with a couple of shelves lit up, they look like a stand in the store. Tabletop solutions are also very easy to make, as these are basically stands or organizers that will charge your devices. You can take a simple desk organizer or even a tool box and turn it into a charging station easily.

Hidden Charging Stations
Want a sleek and decluttered space? Then hidden charging is your choice. A charging drawer is the most popular idea here but you will have to make sockets inside, and they should work. The best way to make one is to plan it beforehand while building or renovating but still it can be organized even afterwards. Get electricity and sockets near the drawer and add sockets inside. The drawer can be in any room, from kitchens to bedrooms (home offices are the best place), and you can even organize inside adding compartments. This way your gadgets will be hidden and you won’t spoil the interior with cables.
One more idea is tabletop hidden charging, and this is about boxes, bread bins, baskets and other stuff, and all of them are easy to make or to find in stores. The main idea is to take a piece that matches your interior as much as possible and then turn it into what you want. Make a niche and add a door there to use it for charging and for storing things, you can go for a hidden storage space to the side of your kitchen cabinet or to the drawer.
