# Clean up cables


I had been hanging USB and charging cables on a tension rod at home using S-hooks.

### Just Clean that thing up!

**But!** It’s messy, right? Let’s try organizing, but the room is small and there aren’t enough drawers.

There’s no space left in the existing drawers, and if I just lay cables down, it looks messy and they’re inconvenient to take out.

**So!** I decided to make wall-mount hooks and attach them to the storage cabinet wall.

### Design

> The design is simple—so basic you couldn’t even sell it.

### Start!

> I put the less frequently used ones in a box and hung the ones I still use often.

## The End!
