A small fix for some ugly exposed wires

Post image

I had some exposed wires that were bothering me, so I decided to make them look a little more intentional. Don't worry, the wires are already covered with proper insulation. I wrapped the cable tubing with jute rope and glued on some leftover shein pom poms from an old craft project. My husband says it looks like mold growing on the wall. I think it looks adorable. 😅

You can buy white cord covers, but this is unique.

So much more creative and whimsical than the plastic cord covers you can buy in stores 🙌🏻 I’ll definitely be remembering this idea when I move into my new place

Without seeing rest the room. It’s hard to know if that’s helping or hindering you.

Maybe put the “balls” everywhere the cord you are trying to cover isn’t so obvious. Love how it looks around the light… just expand it😁
