Along with the latest technologies come a lot of cords and chargers that can make a space look very cluttered. Many older homes aren't designed to accommodate these new additions so we end up with a mess of wires all over the kitchen counter. During the design of this home, we made sure that all of these items had a nice, functional place to be stored.

| This desk is located in a hallway between the kitchen and mudroom. The built-in is flanked by two columns which are repeated throughout the hallways of the house. |
 |
| Below the desk surface are storage and filing drawers. The cords for the lamp, monitor and telephone have all been designed to be hidden away behind the desk. The upper shelf holds cookbooks for the nearby kitchen and above that is additional hidden storage. |

| Here is my drawing for the cabinet maker which shows dimensions and locations of details. |
 |
| This little cubby that's suspended over the desk is a cell phone charging station. The charging ends are accessible but all the messy wires and the outlet are hidden behind a removable panel. |
What a wonderful, useful, and beautiful desk area. I hate the cords and clutter with a passion and this is a superb answer to it all.

Fantastic design and a perfect demonstration of how design can look stunning and be functional too. Desk areas and home offices are normal now in households, so this type of design and idea to cater for all mobiles and desktop needs is the way to go. I am typing from my home office at the moment and there are cables and wires everywhere, so this has given me an idea of how to make my office more presentable and looking this good.

The design that was applied here could be very smart for business oriented individuals who want to stay organized. Thank you for sharing.
