The best answer could be to skip having a junk drawer entirely because they are a common and guilt-inducing repository for different bobby pins, hair ties, rubber bands, and additional buttons. But if you don’t find another specific use for it, that drawer will quickly turn into a catch-all for extra keys, pens, and other junk you vowed not to store there. Or, to put it another way: You may not name it a rubbish drawer, but it is unquestionably one.
Utilize your old junk drawer into something so fantastic that the junk has nowhere to go and can be stored in its proper place. Our greatest recommendation for this tricky drawer? Make it a hidden charging station.
How to Create a Hidden Charging Station out of Your Junk Drawer
Having an outlet to connect your drawer’s charging station to is the biggest barrier. If there isn’t one already, you may need to call an electrician to come out and install one; it’s absolutely an option to have them do the full job while they’re there. To match almost every drawer size, there are several plug-and-play solutions available.
However, if you’re a little handy, you could probably make your own docking station rather quickly. Simply attach a power strip to the back wall of the inside of your drawer. Make a cable pass-through hole at the back of the drawer and unit using a drill, then connect everything to the wall.
