Whether it’s a TV cable dangling down your bedroom wall or an extension cord pushed to the edges of your room and under your bed, messy electronics can seriously undermine the look and feel of your bedroom.
The good news is there are ways to tidy bedroom electronics to keep them out of sight or camouflage them (think white trunking on a white wall). There are also TV beds that can give you an even better entertainment experience.
Tidying your electronics will make your bedroom look cleaner and satisfy your craving for a more organised and peaceful space.
Join us below for our top bedroom electronics tidying tips.
TV beds – the ultimate entertainment hub
Are you fed up with messy TV cables and cluttered bedroom walls? A TV bed transforms your bedroom into a sleek entertainment zone. Your TV rises smoothly from the footboard at the touch of a button, then disappears when you’re done watching.
Most models have built-in USB ports for charging devices, while premium versions include integrated soundbars and surround sound systems.
You’ll instantly get a tidier bedroom, with all cables tucked away inside the bed frame. Some ranges even offer ottoman storage beneath the mattress, giving you the best of both worlds.

Ottoman beds – hidden storage heaven
An ottoman bed gives you much storage space without taking up any extra floor space in your bedroom.
Lift your mattress using the hydraulic system to reveal a vast storage area perfect for spare bedding, old game consoles, or seasonal clothes.
You’ll find models with side lift or end lift mechanisms to suit your room layout. Some TV beds now combine ottoman storage with their media features – perfect for entertainment and organisation in one stylish package.
Another storage option is a bed with drawers (two or four if you choose a double or king), but these have less storage than ottoman beds.
Trunking – the cable concealer
Don’t let ugly cables spoil your bedroom walls. White plastic trunking, available at any DIY store, costs just a few pounds and makes wall-mounted TV cables disappear in minutes.
You’ll only need basic tools to install it; the results look incredibly professional. Most trunking comes with self-adhesive backing for easy fitting.
Smart bedside lighting
Replace your standard bedside lamp with one featuring built-in USB ports and wave goodbye to multiple charging bricks.
You’ll free up socket space and keep your bedside table clearer. Look for models with touch controls and adjustable brightness to create the perfect bedtime atmosphere.
Cable management made simple
Sort out those cables once and for all with some clever management solutions.
Cable tidy boxes hide power strips and transformers, while self-adhesive cable clips keep wires neat along furniture edges. Remember, cable ties are cheap but incredibly effective at reducing cable clutter.
Desk organisation
Monitor stands with built-in USB hubs help clear cable clutter and provide extra storage space underneath. Some models include wireless charging pads on top, letting you banish your bulky phone charger for good.
You can also install a cable spine behind your desk to guide wires neatly to the floor. They’re inexpensive and make a massive difference to how tidy your workspace looks.
Plug socket placement
Don’t let trailing cables ruin your bedroom’s look. Position double sockets behind bedside tables to keep chargers and lamp cables hidden from view.
For TV beds, you’ll need a socket not too far from the footboard where all the electronics are housed since stretching cables can damage them over time. Wall-mounted TVs need a high-level socket that sits right behind the screen.
