The electrical cords and cables that remain suspended from one electrical junction to an outlet, appear quite odd. Such setting spoils the serenity of the house and reduces the calmness of the interiors.

You can employ a number of ways to hide such cables and cords depending on your needs and room schema. Some of the measures may work for the betterment of your home designing. Try to inculcate a permanent solution in your regular scheme of things.

Locate the concerned cable or cord first and evaluate the spread it is covering on the wall. If the spread happens to be a moderate one then a vase or furniture can be shifted to hide the suspended cable. For example, a vase or a book-shelf can be put under the table if the cord length lies behind the table. Similar method can be applied by covering the wires with paintings or frames. In case the length of the cable is more than the cover of the shifted furniture or vase then look for alternatives.

Purchase the cable covers from your local hardware store. These covers run over the length of the wire along the walls. The covers can be painted in such a way that setup matches with the color of your wall.

The problem with these covers is that they require frequent replacements and maintenance. Moreover, the cover elements appear odd on the walls. Hence, such setting is not often preferred by serene and composed homes. Instead of purchasing these covers, you can make some modification in your electrical setup to sort the issue. Check the location of the electrical outlet to which the wire is converging and evaluate whether the outlet can be shifted to a convenient location on the wall or not.

To avoid the complexity of replacing or installing an electric outlet, switch to a hollow base board. The suspended wires and cables are covered behind the baseboard setting. The baseboard is painted so as to complement the wall color. This is a broader prospect of the wire covers and provides a wide setup to hide the cables and cords. Alternatively, the baseboard can be enveloped with a silk sheathing to match the interior design.

If you’re looking for a permanent solution to the problem and don’t want to get entangled in the lengthy setups of boards/covers then go for a detached battery. The battery would exclusively power up the associated outlet and eliminate the need of reaching out to the outlet.

Derive some suggestions from an expert regarding the same and see if he can sort out the issue for you.
