Not sure how little space you have, but when we built our 2-rack server room a few years back, I got this Tool cabinet/Workbench from HomeDepot. Threw an anti-static mat on top and I love it.
If I ever need to unrack something to work on it, I roll the work bench over, unrack and throw it on the bench. All my tools and such are there, the wheels get locked to prevent accidental rolling.
Stuff it in a corner when not in use. Drawers are loaded with patch cables of assorted colors and lengths, fiber patch, power cords, rolls of velcro, zip ties (shush!), cage nuts and various screws in a multi-compartment organizer with labels(!), SFP's, rack wings, etc...couple packs of wire markers
My favorite screwdriver along with a Klein Stubby multi-bit for the hard to reach spots.
I like to put these on each end of the wire.

Not this brand but all I could find quickly.
This is my new ethernet networking hub in the new house. I had two Cat6 and one RG-6 pulled to every drop and have 14 drops throughout the house. All of the ethernet drops (red and yellow in the top right of the picture) run to this cabinet and the RG-6 go to a panel to the lower right of this with the cable modem and firewall (pfSense). The house is a two story with a walk out basement and this cabinet is in a storage room next the to the stairs in the finished basement.

The D-Link is currently for the PoE VoIP phones and PBX. The Cisco switch is for everything else in the house for now. There is a Drobo camping on the top of the cabinet which will be decommissioned eventually and content moved to a FreeNAS server. Current power draw from everything here including Drobo is 85W.

edit: forgot to mention that the fiber line runs to the den where the lab will be setup. Currently the other end is another Cisco SG500-28 (the model without the fans, so quiet). Future upgrade is a 10G connection.
You can use Brady tags on your wires behind devices. Also label them at the panel. Here is what a book of them looks like. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003X26Y4I/ref=sr_sp-btf_title_1_4?qid=1394579345&sr=8-4
You could even go far enough to label the face plates but I think that would look pretty ugly in a home.
Please don't. It fades, rubs off, and is un-intelligible. You don't need to buy a $1000 labeling kit, but at least get something like this, this, or even this. Heck, almost anything would be better.
