You are not unlike most individuals if the electronic devices you own have increased instead of decreased over the past few years. All of these devices come with their own power cables, like the cable that supplies the power to your television, the Sanyo fw32d06f. If the sight of these tangled cables have gotten on your nerves enough to do something about them, then professional organizers have some good advice for camouflaging them.

Zip ties are good for a lot of things. When you've got a lot of cords hanging down, one way to make them less conspicuous is to tie them together. If you're really creative, and depending on your decor, you can decorate the stream of cords with colorful bows, clips, or butterflies, if it fits your style. You can pick up a multiple prong outlet at any big box, hardware, or home improvement store to plug in your cables and cords.

Another good idea from professional organizers concerns labeling. When you have one or two cables or cords together, you don't have much of a problem. When you have several of them all running together, which one goes to which device or fixture can get confusing. All you have to do to solve the problem is label each cord or cable. That way you won't unplug the television when you were trying to unplug the lamp.

Hiding your cords in a basket is one of the quickest and easiest ways to solve your problem. You can place the basket on the floor under your wall mounted television or under the table where you have the television sitting. Wicker baskets in various sizes are reasonably priced, attractive, and easy to find. First you bundle your cables, tie them, and loop them over the appropriately sized hook so they neatly disappear into the wicker basket on the floor.

If you have an easy chair sitting by a wall mounted television or next to a tv sitting on a table, you can hide the cables behind it. You attach them with cord clips fixed to the back of the chair. There are various ways you might affix the clips to the chair.

How successful you are depends mostly on the fabric the chair is covered in. Wood chairs with lots of raised ornamentation may not work. You should probably try one cord at a time to see how much the clip will hold effectively.

You could put your cables and cords out of sight with the use of a storage box. This trick can be used in several ways. You'll need a storage box that has an attractive front. These are found at most big box stores and are reasonably priced.

You bore a hole in the back of your box, set the box below the television or console and then run the cables through the hole in the back of the box. The surge protector can sit in the bottom of the box with its cord running back through the hole to the outlet on the wall.
