Decluttering the home office
After moving into our new house, painting, buying furniture, assembling the furniture, painting the furniture, reorganizing, and finally, setting up the rooms, I was anxious to get everything in our new home office set up the way I’ve always wanted it. One of the biggest problems for myself in a home office is the epic amount of tangled cables, computer equipment, and downright crap all over my desk. After some thinking and internet searching, I set off on a project to get all this equipment properly organized.
I found couple of articles on the interwebs about installing cheap pegboard on the bottom or back of a desk to keep cable- and device-clutter to a minimum, so I decided to hack together my own solution inspired by these examples.
Materials:
- Pegboard - 24″ x 48″ section
- Steel eyes - Qty. 4 (for my table, YMMV)
- Wooden dowels (if you need them) - small enough to fit through the eyes
Tools:
- Saw
- Sandpaper
- Drill
- Pliers (if you have a hardwood table)
You could probably get by with less that this, but these are the tools I had and used.
