Heave 'em up high. Collections that are all form with little function are made for out-of-reach places. Keeping them up high allows them to be seen without being pawed — and, inevitably, broken.

The desk spans the back wall, with all computer cords and components mounted to the underside.

I inherited the most amazing 1960s olive green starburst Syroco clock from my grandmother. It's pictured in my former home office (a nook in the living room). It makes a very satisfying ticking noise, which always reinforced the fact that I was hard at work and kept me focused. Plus, I was able to utilize a high ceiling with something that not only looked great but functioned well.

In my last apartment, my husband took great pains to keep the floors in our home office wire-free. He used zip ties and eye hooks to mount all of our components to the underside of our wood desk. If you're not the DIY/handy type and would rather buy something to manage wires, you're in luck ...

This gorgeous yellow-and-white striped workspace reminds its occupants not to take things so seriously. Working can be stressful, but it's nice to have a fun, colorful wall that prompts you to smile.See more of this house

This home office is so bright and cheery — what an inspiring space to work. The vibrant yellow ticking stripes on the wall are the perfect shade of sunshine yellow.

Clean up the mess under a desk by bundling the cords together with a wire wrap and strapping it with Velcro to the inside of a table leg. From the front and side, the wires won't be visible. From there, you can run the cords from the bottom of the table leg to a power strip, using more Velcro to keep them together. In this desk, the powerstrip was attached to the bottom of the desktop. If you come across a ball of tangled wires, take the time to untangle them and store them properly. Label each cord with masking tape and a permanent marker so that you always know what it belongs to.

The white milk glass objects all in a line against the yellow and white striped wall makes an impact in this hip corner office.More: 7 Areas to Accessorize With StyleImpact Accessories: Details That Make the Space

Or follow Houzz contributor Killy Sheer's lead by mounting power strips and cables under the desk with zip ties and eye hooks. They're not visible from above, and you'll never again get your feet caught up in wayward cords.
