How can I keep my cat from clawing the furniture and chewing cords?

I just adopted her today and we aren’t going to have her declawed, and we might try soft paws but not until she’s fully grown if we can help it. Me and my mom are going to try to trim her claws tonight, but that might not work. She’s 8 weeks old and likes to climb. She actually hasn’t climbed on the couch yet cause she tends to stay in my room and the bathroom but she’s killing my bedspread and pillows lol. And she has a fascination with the cords hanging around…just pop her on the head and teach her no? What do you suggest?
CF, I’ve got nothing against declawing. She isn’t going to be declawed because I feel she is too old (they said she was 8 weeks old, but I feel that she is older) and it costs too much, as she was 70 dollars to adopt. The only cord she keeps having interest in is my laptop cord, because she is on the bed with me and is all around on things.

I remember hearing about the water bottle trick, I have one on my dresser. I’ll remember that. We’ve had scratching posts before for our cats, but they never seem to want to use them. If I can find a cheap one though I’ll get one.
