The Best Charging Stations For Powering Your Devices and Hiding Cord Clutter!

by Sharon Rowley 1 Comment

As the number of devices in our household continues to grow- it has become a challenge to find places to charge all of our family's devices, and corral all of the cords! With 6 kids I decided that I wanted each family member to have their own charging station which will help each of us to get organized at the start and end of each day. So here is a round up of the best charging stations we are using in our own home-plus a few other ones that I love- to help you keep your devices charged and hide all of that cord clutter!

What Type of Charging Station Do You Need?

What it really comes down to is:

  • What do you need to charge?
  • How many devices do you own
  • Where do you like to charge them?

In my case, I keep a charging station at my desk (I love my bamboo charging station shown above!) to charge my iPad, my AirPods, and my credit card swiper. I specifically chose a charging station that would allow me to see my iPad as it charged (vs. a slot-style charging station).

Next to my bed, I keep a wireless charging stand so I can charge my phone, which also serves as my alarm clock.

The number of devices you intend to charge in a location should determine the number of ports you need in a charging station. But don't forget to future-proof… you never know what new device is around the corner that will be the next thing you'll want to own!

What Features Should You Look For In a Charging Station?

The key things to consider as you are comparing charging stations are:

  • How large is the footprint of the charging station? Will it fit nicely into the space you have?
  • Is there enough room inside of the station to contain all of the cord clutter as well as a multi-port charger?
  • And of course- you want it to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye!

Here are the Best Multi-Device Charging Stations:

Here are some of the charging stations we use in our own home, plus a few others that I love!
