While you may think that there\u2019s no cure for this tangly trouble, don\u2019t be discouraged. Instead, try one of these three inexpensive DIY projects to disguise those cords hanging from your TV, computer, lamps, and more\u2014you\u2019ll preserve your sanity\u00a0<em>and<\/em> your cash.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>MAGIC MANTEL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mounting the TV is popular among homeowners in quest of a clean-lined living space. But along with the sophistication of a sleek, lofty screen comes an array of dangling cords that can make your viewing area look more dorm room than curated creation. To conceal a smattering of wires, try this makeshift mantel that tucks stray cords beneath an inexpensive molding. Start by choosing a style of crown molding shelf that best matches your room\u2019s aesthetic. Julie Blanner, the brains behind this brilliant fix, chose a traditional white version to complement her classic living room. Next, measure and mark the shelf on both ends, and cut it down to the exact size you need. Feed the cords through one side of the molding\u2014Julie drilled a hole in her built-ins to further camouflage the unpleasant necessities\u2014and then attach the shelf with glue. Voil\u00e0! Movie night just got so much better.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>PRETTY PEGS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If a jumble of computer cords is cramping your desk style, try this solution from Organizing Made Fun that will stealthily stash away wires while keeping them accessible. First, cut a piece of pegboard to size, about 1\/4 inch smaller on all sides than the space beneath the desk so you\u2019ll be easily able to pull back the board to reach the cords. Next, give the pegboard a few coats of spray paint, or leave it blank\u2014whatever best matches your decor. Use cable ties threaded through the pegboard holes to attach a power strip to the back of the board so that the outlets face the wall, then secure the board in place using light clips and Velcro. This combination of fasteners will ensure that your designated disguiser won\u2019t tip forward yet will still be easy to remove whenever you need to unplug.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SLEEK AND DISCREET<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now you see them, now you don\u2019t! That\u2019s how we feel about this clever trick from Diane of\u00a0In My Own Style, which discreetly hides wires in the nooks and crannies of furniture. First, gather a wire basket, a power strip, an extension cord, cup hooks, and clear cord organizing clips. Cut one of the corner pieces off the basket using a wire cutter, and then use cable ties to secure the extension cord to the basket. Next, screw in cup hooks to attach the basket upside down to the bottom of your desk so that the extension cord remains easily accessible. Using the clear cord organizing clips, run cords and wires up the legs and along the underside of your tabletop until you reach the power strip. Thread the cords through the hole in the basket, and plug \u2018em in for a seemingly wireless experience.<span style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">\u00a0<\/span><em style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">&#8211;\u00a0Bob Vila<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Interested in home remodeling?\u00a0Contact<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/medinaexteriors.com\/remodeling-experts\/\">Medina Exteriors<\/a>\u00a0today, (330)591-4040<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home Remodeling | 3 Fixes for Unsightly Cords Home Remodeling |\u00a0After you\u2019ve spent years getting your living spaces in line, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5479,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1026,1027],"tags":[1010],"class_list":["post-23766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home-remodeling","category-home-remodeling-trends","tag-home-remodeling-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v28.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Home Remodeling | 3 Fixes for Unsightly Cords | Medina, Oh<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Home Remodeling | After you\u2019ve spent years getting your living spaces in line.
