With all the fancy digital bits we've been picking up (GPS watches, cycling computers, phones, tablets, bike lights, etc etc) the entry way counter has become a bit of a pig sty. Has anyone figured out a way to keep it organized and visually appealing?

At this point they all spark joy, so Kondo-ing it is out..

Not specific to bike stuff but we keep almost all of our power strips inside of woven baskets.

That way it can be a mess of wires and unsightly power cords but you only see that when you pull the basket out and look inside. From the outside its just a nice looking basket!

I use this. Has wireless, a mount for a watch, and came with cables to charge pretty much anything.

I recently pick up a 6 port USB charger hub. Wish I would've done it years ago. Getting rid of all those single port bulky charger plugs freed up a lot of real estate.

I picked up one of these when it went on sale: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P936188/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Q2QuFbP9QXP9C

A solution I've seen is to drill a hole in the backside of a drawer on a table. Run the cables inside and hide the devices in the drawer while charging.

I would show you mine but it's a mess of cables on floor semi-tucked away behind a bunch of Amazon boxes :)

I have been really impressed with Anker products. Really well made and worth the investment.

Beside my bed was previously the charging station and I vetoed that on many counts. I too bought a $40 multi port USB station and have a basket in our living room with iPads and phones and kids fitbits. It isnt perfect, but its way. better than before. I hate the cords.

My designer buddy had a beautiful shallow oak bowl turned but a hidden compartment beneath it to house all the wiring. He lined the bowl with velvet and BOOM, $500+ worth of a charging station!

I dont have photos, but was excited to put my phone in there to charge when I house sat, as it was so beautiful.
