I also got an extra long cable, too so I can really stretch out while I scroll Instagram.

My nightstand keeps my phone plus the Sonos, so I got a hug-a-plug which allows me to power both devices from the side rather than coming straight out of the wall - this saves me an extra 2" of space between the wall and the back of the nightstand. I realize this is a $90+ purchase for mere convenience, so it may not be valuable for moving from just one room to another, but it's super helpful for taking a computer to an office and not needing to pack a charger every day. This way, one is always plugged in at each spot and you're never crawling underneath a table to unplug and re-plug a power supply in. Hot tip: If you are constantly moving your laptop between two different locations, consider getting a second charger. If I really wanted to disguise them, I could have gotten black cables instead of using the white ones they come with. Whenever I need a charge, I give it a pull and when I don't want to see it, I shove the cable (mostly) back into the box.
So, I put a surge protector in a box from IKEA, threaded the lamp cables and electronics chargers through the opening, and closed the lid. But for when I'm not watching Olivia and Ice-T solve crimes, I don't want to be tripping over a charging cord that's perpetually strewn across the rug. I like to lounge on the couch with my laptop while watching Law & Order SVU, so having power within reach is handy. If you cancel cable after a promotion, make sure you return the cable box to your provider or they'll charge you $80+!) They make their $$$ because people forget to switch their bundle and end up paying more - but not me, and not you! (P.S. Then, when the promo is over and they increase the bill, I call back and cancel cable or change the bundle. So, every 6 months I call to change to whichever promotion has the cheapest bill and the fastest internet. Logic says it's cheaper to only use one of their services, but every once in a while they do a promo that discounts the bill while simultaneously upgrading your internet speed if you bundle cable TV. Hot money-saving tip: we cut the cable cord long ago and only use internet from our cable provider.

Now that the newer AppleTV remote is Bluetooth and we don't have an infrared cable box, we nixed this extra bit of wires. So, we used this infrared transmitter that discretely hid on the bottom of the TV.

Up until recently, our Apple TV used an infrared receiver, so hiding it behind the doors would have meant the TV wouldn't know when we clicked a button on the remote.
(Hot tip: I face the modem backwards because I inevitably need to restart it and it's easier to do so when it’s oriented this way.) We keep the router on top as to not cause internet interference.
There are several holes drilled into the back of the cabinet to run the cords and for ventilation. The trick is to store the power strip inside of the cabinet rather than having it hang out behind the media unit. All of these items plug into a power strip that gets plugged into a wall. We put the TV on top of an old cabinet that we use to store our modem, Apple TV, and a few extra electronics.
