Every home has one spot where cables go to multiply. A games console here, a soundbar there, a router someone "temporarily" moved eighteen months ago and never moved back. It's not just untidy — it makes the corner a chore to clean, a trip hazard for anyone crawling back there, and genuinely hard to use once you actually need to unplug something in a hurry.
The good news: fixing it properly is a twenty-minute job, not a weekend project, and you don't need an electrician. Here's how we'd do it.
Step 1: Clear the corner completely
Pull everything out — console, router, lamp, charger, the lot. You can't plan a clean layout around a tangle you can't see. Lay the devices out on the floor in roughly the order you'll want them, so you can see what you're actually working with.
Step 2: Count what needs power, not what you currently have plugged in
This is where most cable-chaos corners go wrong the first time: people replace one overloaded extension lead with another one the same size. Instead, count the devices that genuinely need a socket today, then add one or two spare outputs for whatever you'll plug in next month. A modular system means you're not guessing the exact number up front — you add an Outlet Module when you need one, rather than buying a bigger strip "just in case" and still running out.
Step 3: Build from a Start Kit, not a loose pile of leads
A Start Kit Schuko gives you a single run of grounded, shuttered outlets you click together in whatever order suits the room — no trailing six-way adaptors stacked on top of each other. It's the base of the system: everything else (extra outlets, USB-C, smart control) clicks onto it later, so you're never starting from scratch again.
Step 4: Click the modules together
This is the part that actually takes five minutes. Each module clicks onto the next — no screwdriver, no wire-stripping, no electrician call-out. If you need more outputs than the base kit gives you, an Outlet Module O1-2 clips straight on. Decide the order by reach, not by looks: the thing you unplug most often (phone charger, games console) goes nearest the front.
Step 5: Route the lead, not just the modules
Even a tidy module run looks messy if the incoming cable snakes across the floor. An Extension Cord Cx gives you the reach to put the modules exactly where you want them — behind the unit, along the skirting, wherever keeps it out of sight — rather than positioning your furniture around where an existing socket happens to be.
Step 6: Tidy the lead, step back, done
Clip or tuck the final run along the skirting board or the back of the unit. That's it — twenty minutes, and the corner behind the TV stops being the one bit of the room you apologise for.
Why this is worth doing properly once
A loose pile of extension leads is the thing you're always "meaning to sort out." A modular setup is the thing you sort out once and then just add to — a new console, a new lamp, a smart speaker — without ever buying another tangle of cable to replace the last one.
Start with a Start Kit Schuko (549 SEK) if you want the simplest base, add an Outlet Module O1-2 the moment you need another output, and route the run with an Extension Cord Cx if the plug isn't where you need it to be. All three click together — no tools, no electrician, no more cable-chaos corner.
