Any tips on reducing/hiding cords in your home office? As you can see current set up the cords are bugging me. Fiancé loves the desk in the middle of the room.

Nice table. Barren room. Does the fiancé think they’re a partner? Lol

Haha my hubby had the same comment. Single large desk in the middle of the room = boss setup.

I'm just going to rub it on you. I have one power cord that runs from the outlet to the monitor. And one USBC cable that runs from the monitor to the laptop and carries power, video and data. I have a Logitech universal receiver plugged into the monitors USB port through which I can connect my mouse and keyboard wirelessly

Go Wireless!

The container store has a bunch of solutions for this. This is just one I found really quickly: https://www.containerstore.com/s/office/cable-management/office-desk-cord-control-and-tech-storage-starter-kit/12d?productId=11011359

Similar problem here. I’m ordering one of these to install in my desk. May need a jigsaw and simple drill so if you’re handy should be a relatively simple job and will look great

Zip ties

Get some cable ties from Amazon and some 3m mounting tape. Bundle them up and put everything underneath. Where you can. There's also cable holders you can stick on top to help route. Feels a lot better then it's cleaned up.

Get a rug

Mount the power strip to underside of desk. Run cord down leg. Rug hides path to wall
