There are people who don’t mind cords, and there are people who really can’t stand them. And then, there are people like me, who mind them in certain situations/rooms but not others (okay in the office, not okay in the living room). Curious which one you are?
So I thought I’d put together a post for anyone who wants to know more about hiding cords. Not all of these I have utilized myself, but a few I have — and they definitely bring me a lot more peace of mind…
Samsung Frame TV - I’ve mentioned our beloved television set before, but one of the main reasons we splurged on it was because there is only one single cord (which we have covered, using the hider, below) — which leads down to a box where you plug in all the stuff (for us that means Apple TV, a Switch, a speaker, and a PS5).
Wall Cord Hiders — I don’t use a ton of these, but I do where I don’t want to see wires. You just cut them to fit the area you need it for. The TV area is so short I don’t even use the adhesive, to stick it to the wall.
Furniture Cord Clips — Command just makes great products. I’ll use these to hide cords along the back of furniture so it doesn’t jut out.
Appliance Cord Organizer — I don’t keep super large appliances out on the counter (maybe if I did I’d use them more?) but if you do — you might want to attach this to your Kitchen Aid, Cuisinart, or slow cooker.
Charging Cord Holders — I know these all sound like they do the exact same thing, but they don’t! These are for your desktops to hold connectors from slipping. I use these in my office and also by my bedside for chargers.
An electric toothbrush mount — Depending on which model you may have (this is an Oral B, but here’s one for Sonicare) you can just keep this plugged into the outlet, directly. We actually keep our charger in a separate room — so we don’t need this — but I am annoyed every single time I do have to walk all the way into the other room to charge it.
Sleek Socket is the “Original Thin Outlet Concealer.” We do own one, in an area where I need the furniture to be pushed against the wall flat, and it comes in very handy. But at $24 a pop, I don’t need more.
Velcro Wraps — I use small ones for thinner wires and larger ones for the thicker, more heavy duty cords. Just to keep them all corralled and outa the way — some come color coded, but my mind doesn’t work that way.
A really gorgeous extension cord — if you can’t beat ‘em, put ‘em out on full display? Modhowz sells some very beautiful ones on their Etsy shop.
Now I'm bummed you weren't referring to corduroy pants!
