Cute and colourful cable clips

Not only are these cute and compact, but they help keep visible wires to a minimum and my workspace calm and cheerful.

What it is: Blue Lounge Multi-purpose Cable Drop Clip, $12, AHA Life

Why I love it: Often the difference between a peaceful workspace and a crazy one is cable management. While a cluster of tangled cords will have me reaching for the panic button, a neatly organized cable system is the key to my office calm. This is why I love these brightly coloured cable clips. Not only are they cute and compact but they help keep visible wires to a minimum and my workspace calm and cheerful.

Stylist tip: The drop clip's peel-and-stick adhesive backing stays put best on clean, dry surfaces. Be sure to wipe down (and dry) your workspace before attempting to securing the clips.
