GENIUS Ways to Hide Wires and Cords 💡 

The video I didn’t know I needed and now I need to overhaul my house 😆

A little fun fact: In german there’s a nice word for when a bunch of wires and cords lay around chaotically: „Kabelsalat“, which would be „cable/chord salad“ in English ☺️

I was nodding the entire time!! I understood everything you said because my cords are always flopping back to where they do not belong!

“You sit here- and you stay here..” 😂 I felt that 😂

These cord management ideas are brilliant, I did not know they existed! Definitely going to look into it. I live in an apartment built in 1981, before all these devices existed. There are three outlets in the bedroom. That is where I have my desk, computer, phone charger, lamps (because at that time overhead lights were not in vogue!) behind my desk, I have two surge protectors, and behind another piece of furniture is another surge protector, with all the spaces filled. Watching a RU-vid DIY video I made a wire basket hanger to keep them off the floor. Just yesterday I had a tv tech here, he told me the wire basket racks were dangerous…… your suggestions came just at the right time. I need to assess what I need and will make some changes. Thank you…..

Great video, some great ideas. With the windable surge protector - be careful with heat build up when it is all coiled up.

I think you are wonderful. A mother with small children, keeping up a blog and keeping your house organized. I worked 12 hour shifts as a single mom of 2 great kids. My home was never clean and it was before the organization craze came. I wish I had your blog then but when would I have had the time to watch it?😊😊😊

Thank you so much for ALL of your helpful videos!!! As a first time mom life can get a little overwhelming and you make it so much easier ❤️

That hole in the basket idea is smart. And the little desk cord holder for multiples

This video is brilliant! I'm overwhelmed with cord clutter. Thanks so much for sharing!

I understood everything you said Thank you for the great Hiding cords tips. Love your videos❣

Omg Kallie, this was so awesome! I knew of many of them, BUT the ones I didn’t know about are the ones that will complete the process of annoying cord clutter! We thought we fought a good fight, and just gave into having to live what was left cause we tackled a bunch but I was still unhappy with the outcome. Thank you so much for all these innovative, useful and esthetically pleasing solutions for all the clutter of cords, (which many don’t realize how negatively it affects ones living space), but yet you CAN do something about!💕🙏😊☕

Great tips!! Cord and cable management is like 'herding wild kitties'! 😸

Oooh....I so needed thjs!! The cords are driving me bonkers. Such awesome ideas here. Thank you!! 💖

I love the cord wraps for small appliances.

I’m all about this!! I hate cord clutter! Drives me nuts and makes it hard to dust around those areas! Haven’t looked at the prices yet but hopefully these items are affordable! Thanks for the suggestions!

excellent practical suggestions, thank you

Thank you, Kallie!😊 I will be looking for more ways to store my cords in the future. And yes, I was definitely shaking my head during that part of the video!😂

The basket back! Genius! ❤

Love the basket idea 💡

Thank you!! I wish I could like this more than once!

Man that looks so much better, we just re did all the wires in my room bc some went to things that weren't there anymore and we got a flipper for the tv so it could go between the DVD player, PlayStation, wii, etc without having to go thru all these steps and labeled everything. While it felt and looks great, the cords are all still out and would look great in one of those boxes that i didn't even know was a thing. Thank you!

I love the self talk! Wrangle… corralled… ? ya that’s it! Thank you for this video! How did I not know so many awesome products like this existed?!

Such a great video. I already use and love the cord control for appliances however didn’t use the others so I’ll have to grab those as well. Thank you!

Thank you! I needed this video! cord wraps on my appliances is mind-blowing and would solve so much hassle!

Thanks for all the great ideas and information on cord management. Your video was very helpful but more importantly, you are an amazing presenter. I can see why you have over a million subscribers. Keep up the good work!

Needed this video - thanks for showing all the different kinds!

Thanks for this video & the link to such handy products!

❤❤❤Love these ideas. Didn't know about most of these great cord hiders.😊

The other great thing is surge protectors with flat plugs, for when you need to plug one in behind furniture without worrying about bumping into the plug and knocking it out or damaging the wire.

I froze when you said someone was nodding because I was 😂 being called out like that. Thank you for the useful tips!

Freakin awesome tips as always, I immediately ordered the long cord strips to run along the base boards, thank you so much.! 😃

U just solved a big problem of mine!...thank you!

Thank you for this video! 😀🌹

Be careful with the cord-hate as it can cause you to twist up cords too tight and fatigue connections and cause cord failure. I like the cord management boxes and other similar diy solutions. It's good to keep the dust off, too.

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT video and suggestions!

Wrapping up a power cable then plugging it in can be very dangerous! Be careful about doing that. On extension cables that already come on a device that wraps them, it will tell you to fully unwind before use. The reason is how electricity works in a loop like this. It lowers the capacity of the cable to take so much power running along it. So if you put full power through a cable , but it is now wrapped in a loop like this, it will overheat and if it heats too much, can start an electrical fire. So, please be careful about wrapping and plugging in.

I'll be getting a few of these direly needed cord thingies.

2:59 I am that somebody nodding my head 😂 They’re amazing. I have so many of them for all of my cords 😂😂😂

Great video!!! Thank you!

My favorite of your videos!

Nice! Thank you 🙏

I purchased some of these items and love them.

First one here...wow! Great ideas. Thank you for all the "cord corraling" info!

I’m definitely nodding! 😂

Cord management frustrates the snot out of me. I've purchased some of these item already. But the cord cover that goes along the walls is much needed. Thx!

Great ideas. The only thing I would caution on is when applying those cord wraps on countertop appliances, if they get warm the cord wraps might fall off. I had that happen on one of mine.

Thank you!! I've been waiting for this. And links too to the products. Wondrous you.

I can't understand why manufacturers of small appliances didn't solve this problem decades ago, by producing products with built-in cord wraps. Great video!

These tips are gonna help me so much! I think i will use every one of them in different rooms. *I have that same Sleep Mate sound machine, use it every night🤨 Thx for all the ideas🤍

I hesitated to look for a video about small appliance cord management because I figured it would be a waste of time since I just needed to buy some little Velcro straps, right? Wrong! Thank you so much for the amazing suggestions. I will look up your awesome solutions and share your video with others.

The first organiser that talks about cords

"Flapping out all over the place" 😂 okay gtg, need to wrangle up some cords!

Love your ideas on the standard cords.. I have a huge hot mess that my husband put together and there are cords everywhere connecting to two computers, a TV, stereo speakers, ugh.. I definitely need a better idea. Anna In Ohio

🎉Congratulations on your new baby 🎉 He is Cute 🎉 I finally looked at your other social media 😂💝❣️✨️

Genius!! Pesky chords look out you’re about to get put in your place😉🤣😍

I'll have to try the cord clips. The cord anchors seemed to slip. I got the cord bundles for the small appliances!

Oh yeah I’ve been putting this off but it’s a dog hair magnet! Thank you!!!🥰🇨🇦

If I ever find the time to implement this it will be life changing haha Your hair looks beautiful btw, prayers for your pregnancy, labor, and delivery! 😊

Wires drive me crazy! Good ideas!

OMG! How could I have lived without cordholders?! Just ordered a bunch! 😊

Great father's day gift idea TBH, of you have a tech Dad and therefore oodles of cords

Very clever

Your tv cord, I did that this winter when we painted our living room. I painted it the color of the wall, magic😊

I have the appliance cords on all my items that don’t stay plugged in. They’re wonderful!

OMG! Right on@

Great video

I too hate cords. Thanks for this video.

Hi this is amazing. Can you suggest some solution for a situation- the electric outlet in bedroom is behind the headboard( rented apartment) So can’t use it at all in the bedroom ☹️

If using sticky cord clips in the kitchen make sure you clean the wall/surface with alcohol to remove any invisible grease from the surface

I was definitely nodding my head in agreement. Cords be like that.

Just opened this video live the theme already!!! I can’t even stand cords!!!! 😂it makes me crazy!

GREAT video! Saving this one. I hate cords but, alas, they are necessary. Just don't want to see them!

Loving the look of the after! Why do I have a voice in my head screaming that it's bad to wrap up cords so tightly though, is that a thing?

Yes Kallie, I am nodding my head at the floppy cord comment.

There are terrific ideas :) where can I find the phone charger cable roller?

What about outside on a screen porch? I am needing cord concealer that will adhere to brick/cement?

I didn’t know most of these things existed. I hate cord clutter! I have one cord that has to go across a small bit of carpet; I wish there was something for that

Cords are seriously the bane of my existence... the worst though is when those little cord things don't stick and then you lose the cord AND the attachment. lol. #firstworldproblems.... lol Your bump is such gorgeous. Mustn't be long now?Thanks so much for sharing! ❤ Mel in Australia 🇦🇺🦘🐨

Kallie your mac charger already has a couple of "ears" to wrap the cable around

Cool!

Is there a good way to wrap up the charging cord while in the vehicle? I leave mine plugged in all the time, but the end of the cord is all over the place. My daughter also uses it from the back seat, so just using a cable tie isn't a good option to wind it up, unless maybe a velcro wrap? Mostly it is just me using it in the front seat. Then once I wind it up - use a Command strip somewhere near where it is plugged in? Is there a better solution?

I was one of the ones definitely nodding my head lol 😆 😂 🤣

The Amish are the ninjas of hiding cords.

This all boggles my mind in a good way but I just need to be able to hire someone to do all of this for me LOL!

Do the have one for garden hoses

I use the clips to keep cords out of the floor to simplify cleaning. I do not care that they look weird, specially the home phone cord stick to the kitchen drawers. I even make "cute bows" with them, imagine "cable bows" floating just 4 inches over the floor. When I am cleaning, they even look cute to me.

Can do,done help please? I don’t see the links in the comments. Where would they be? I’m on an iPad. Ty!

My goodness my OCD dad needs to see this video so bad!

Yes the cord flopping! Like the lamp cord that doesn’t want to stay behind the night stand.

i like this video😁

Love your videos!!! Also, you have the cutest baby bump. I looked like I had a huge watermelon when I was pregnant 🤣

After much consideration, I require everything be wireless. Wired lamps, phones, and refrigerator-- all no longer allowed. I don't know how, make it so! Also, walls that pictures and shelves will hold their place until i want. None of these command stickers that dont stay and are difficult to use in the first place. I worked in a museum so I know it can be done. Maybe things like clothes and notes can go up too. 🤯Excuse me while i go patent some things! 🤓

I love this but how do I fix my laziness to actually do this?

Question, if you put one on a toaster or crockpot does the heat mess with it?

By my experience the only way to hide a cord is to go cordless. But even then you need a cord to connect the cordless transmitter to the power line. 😊

my ocd loves you

❤

Finally! A useful and intelligent DIY video by a woman, yay! Most are not up to par. This is very useful and got to the point. Thank you for NO MUSIC, what joy! 1:38 - I had the same idea but had not thought of slots in sides. Genius. I want to improve on this. Make a hinged box with lid. Cut out holes in lid (don't use fancy bamboo!), stick a tin can inside and use it to store your hair dryer inside the can using the lid hole. Cord goes inside the box or hangs on a hook on wall, wrapped up neatly. You can also cut holes for electric toothbrush recharging, curling irons, etc. Use sticky tape to mount the cans inside or hot glue dabs. This solves the messy hairdryer problem finally. A big advantage of a surge protector is that you can turn the switch off, so you don't use up power with appliances plugged in. I would advise against sticky cable clips. Use the ones with nails. Hammer them into the wall anywhere preferably on studs or base molding. Easy to remove and wall paint does not come off like sticky pads. Easier to patch up holes with spackling paint. The nail holes are very small. Sticky ones are good for furniture backs though. Great tips on the cord wrapping hooks you can stick on appliances. What a godsend! I see you are expecting a baby and most likely delivered already. Congratuations! Here are my tips on babies: 1. Get a Swingomatic cradle by your bedside so you can sleep while baby rocks to sleep. Saves your sanity and marriage. 2. Keep baby's head at least 3 feet away from any power outlets on wall when sleeping. This is one reason autism is on the rise. 3. Make a list as to why baby is crying next to her/his crib. Such as 1. Check diaper. 2. Check if bed wet. 3. Is baby hungry? etc. Saves time when you are drowsy from sleep and trying to figure out why. 4. Put baby in swimming pool soon as they are 4 months old. They have a reflex where they hold their breath when you blow in their faces so you can dunk head underwater without problem. Later, using goggles, show them how to release air underwater by blowing thru nose BEFORE it goes into the water. Humming is a good trick. Once the baby swims, esp outdoors, she/he gets full dose of Vit D3, and muscle tone improves rapidly in 1 week. They sleep deeply with all that Vit D, and no drowning issues in playmates pool or water slides.

So helpful tips👏🏼 thank you 🙏🏼 I have just a wish. Please have some second of pauses between different part of your videos. Its difficult to follow.
