![]() (And I tried one of the hiders along the bottom but realized the cords were less noticeable on their own since they match the wood top.) I’d love to eventually have something hard wired there so this is a temporary fix. I’m not totally crazy about that look, but it’s something that hides dangling cords. I hung the sconces that used to be in the bedroom down in the basement and used these to hide the cords going down the wall: I did it again in the kitchen/family room so that you can’t see the cord behind the console table: I don’t worry about that since you rarely see these in the first place. These are actually made to snap shut too – so that open side you see above could be closed. Same thing there – I took a piece of the cord hider and stuck it down the back of the pedestal table: You may have noticed no cords showing when I showed you my new blue lamps last week: Not quite to that level of crazy just yet. So instead of having the whole long cord hanging down behind the desk, you just see a little bit:Īnd yes, I’ve considered painting the cords. I actually wish I had made that piece a little longer. I also put them on the wall above the outlet: And to cut them you just score them with your scissors (turn them around between the blades) and then snap it apart. They have a sticky back – you just peel off the paper and stick them on. Not that crazy.) I will use my scrap pieces of the plastic cord things and stick them on the back of the furniture: This is how I use them – when I have a lamp cord that hangs down behind something (that I can see – I don’t care if it’s something I can’t see. You can also find them online here! (affiliate) Not the electrical aisle – near the cable supplies. I find mine at Lowe’s on the end cap near the cable stuff. Otherwise known as the best things invented ever in EVER. The whole TV cord thing is a whole other post (which I will do too). ![]() And this is for smaller things like lamps or whatever. I mean, they’re going to create this amazing space and then you see them laying on the floor or hanging around? Shiver. ![]() And it does drive me crazy when I see them on a design show or in a magazine. In somebody else's house – would probably never notice them. Keep in mind this is not something some of you probably even care about, but it keeps me from waking up in the middle of the night sweating because of my deep, burning hatred of electrical cords. I blogged about this before years ago (oddly almost exactly five years ago to the day!), but it’s worth another mention. ![]()
