Out of Sight but Not Out of Mind
So what is a docking drawer?
It's a simple power strip designed to be installed inside any cabinet or drawer. That way, you can turn any drawer into a docking drawer. It's basically a drawer turned into a charging station.
Today we'll look at how docking drawers are a much-needed interior design element in the kitchen, the bathrooms, the bedrooms, and your study/office.
In the Kitchen Interior Design
Kitchens are the heart of a home and a popular place for in-drawer outlets.
With so many appliances in our kitchen, it doesn't take long for cords and devices to take over the countertops, resulting in a shabby-looking kitchen countertop with little space left for other kitchen activities. Moving cables and devices into a dedicated charging drawer are often all it takes to create a highly functioning and clutter-free kitchen.
A dedicated docking drawer to keep appliances like toasters, coffee makers, blenders, etc., is a great solution to free up space in your kitchen. A docking drawer can also be a great way to add necessary power points to the kitchen island.
In the Bathroom Interior Design
The struggle of powering numerous styling tools with limited space and charging outlets is real, so it's no mystery why in-drawer outlets are so popular in bathroom vanity drawers.
Adding a docking drawer to the bathroom offers a safe way to connect styling tools without cluttering the countertops, adds additional outlets into a space known for having too few ports, and combats the frustration of a limited vanity surface space.
Pairing in-drawer outlets with steel canisters add even more functionality to the bathroom, offering a safe place to connect and neatly stow hot styling tools, even while in use.
The dedicated makeup table is a growing trend, and docking drawer outlets can keep styling tools organised and connected inside the drawer without taking over the already limited surface space.
In the Bedroom Interior Design
Your nightstand drawer can easily become your nightly charging station without cluttering the surface with the help of these docking drawers.
In-drawer outlets can fit into drawers of any type, which includes furniture and floating nightstand drawers. Adding a docking drawer to the nightstand not only creates a dedicated place to connect and charge devices overnight but keeping your phones, tablets, and smartwatches inside the drawer also lessens tech distractions for an uninterrupted night of sleep.
In the Study Interior Design
When designing an office, it's important to include functional features that will lessen distractions and promote organisation and clarity, which makes your home office the ideal setting for in-drawer outlets.
When you add up all the daily tech we use in our offices like phones, tablets, computers, keywords, headsets and more– it's not hard to imagine how quickly the desktop can get overtaken by cords and devices. That's where docking drawers come in. Powering desk drawers with in-drawer outlets will promote clutter organisation, help keep devices charged and ready, and eliminate mess from the desktop and surrounding surfaces.
Printers, scanners and other devices can be bulky and take up a lot of space. Adding a powered printer pullout docking drawer offers the ability to keep those devices connected and ready to use without having to keep them on your desk.
Are You Ready to Eliminate Countertop Clutter?
Charge and power everyday devices safely while they remain plugged in, out of sight, and always ready. Docking drawer outlets are safe, easy to use, and a great behind-the-scenes solution (to the clutter) that can fit any drawer. So, you can eliminate surface clutter and enjoy functional countertops again. Whether you require both power and USB ports for charging or just a charging station, you'll find the right one for your needs.
Also, docking drawer outlets are available in various finishes, configurations, and price points to complement your interior design and satisfy all your in-drawer charging needs.
Just like docking drawers, many little interior design secrets make a big difference in how your home looks and feels.
