Hide a TV, remotes and gaming stuff, too

Where’s the remote?! We hear that all the time, too. Same goes for tablets, game controllers and head phones. So we came up with some low-tech tips to organise and hide all those high-tech living room things.

IKEA has living room ideas to help with your tech. An industrial style shelving unit like FJÄLLBO has solid pine shelves and metal mesh doors that let signals through. Put a basket on the top shelf to hold your remotes, too.

2. Smart furniture is your friend—big or small. Choose a storage unit with mesh doors that blur consoles from view and let signals through. An open back helps arrange cables, too. Store most-used tech stuff in a basket on top. Put the rest in boxes. The bag? It’s designed to hide power strips and cords.

3. Stuff all over your sofa? Leave it there, sort of. Drape pocket organisers on the back and the arm—one for each person and their tech accessories. Glue or iron on fun fabric to personalise. The catch? You still have to remember what each remote does! (Markers or labels might help.)
