If you're intrigued about the idea of smart tech, but can't quite face the idea of a house full of ugly wires, there are plenty of solutions. A wireless charging station like this one cuts the number of wires on your desk or bedside table from three to one, and there's a variety to choose from to suit your home, from futuristic designs to wood finishing.
You can conceal wires with cable trunking, which you can paint to blend into your wall or use cable clips to snake them up the back of furniture legs. Hide modems or speakers on shelves behind a row of false books or inside a basket – keep the lid off as completely covering up electrical goods can pose a fire risk.
Otherwise, consider creating a dedicated charging nook, where everyone takes their devices to charge, rather than having several plugs scattered around the house.
